If you’re in the UK or parts of Europe like France, you can now purchase the LEGO Architecture LEGO House (21037) exclusive set again on the LEGO Shop. The set doesn’t go on sale that often online as it is a Billund exclusive at the LEGO House itself. The set can’t be sold here in the North America due to legal issues with the packaging and paperwork so if you really want it, have a friend overseas try to get you one. I assume it’ll only be available for a few days or until they sell out. As a Rakuten/Linkshare Affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

Best of BrickNerd - Article originally published September 20, 2022. Sorry, what? Köfii? A typo? No, let me explain...

Twelve years ago I saw a photo of a LEGO Köf II built by Markus Wagner. He had managed to put a battery box, IR receiver and train motor in this tiny little loco. An updated version even had lights! Power Functions Köf II by Markus Wagner I was well impressed and decided to build my own version in red. At the time I was quite happy with it, but 11 years later it looks a bit dated and could do with an upgrade… But now, let’s...
