Halloween is just around the corner, so we are gathering a delightful assortment of spoopy MOCs to add a touch of adorable spookiness to your fall festivities. And no, that is not a typo for spooky. “Spoopy” is internet slang describing cute, comical, or silly versions of typically spooky subject matter such as ghosts and skeletons. Imagine a cute little dog in a ghost costume. Yep, that’s spoopy! And what’s better to get you into a spoopy building mood than a diverse collection of Halloween-themed MOCs!? Boo! Let’s kick it off with nobu_tary and some cute, unsuspecting trick-or-treaters. We’ve all been there, on the cusp of fun and terror, all at the same time. But the lust for sweet candy goodness always seems to win out! (Just don’t look up how much that bright light orange bush costs or you might get actually terrified…) Plushies That Will Petrify These plush spoopy...

“So, what inspired your latest build?”… “Why did you decide to use those parts?”… For many people, those questions have straight forward answers. However, when I was recently asked those same questions about two of my MOCs (My Own Creations), I found that in both cases my response was, “Well, that’s a long story.” A story long enough to write about on BrickNerd? Well, I think so… or at least interesting enough to add into our collection of articles about the creative process. TED’S Infamous Idea Notebook - a Creativity article for another day In my prior “LEGO Lessons Learned” article, one of the things you might have noticed is that I am a very iterative builder as I continue to build upon past models. Sometimes that is a deliberate decision, but most times it is the result of simply going where the inspiration leads me. It can lead me somewhere...

LEGO has just dropped two new gift with purchase sets with the LEGO Disney 100 Mini Steamboat Willie (40659) and the Houses of the World 4 (40599). To get the Steamboat, you’ll need a $100 purchase in Disney properties which include Marvel and Star Wars. The Houses of the World 4 does overlap and requires a $250 general purchase. Considering LEGO has expanded the requirements for the Steamboat, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Steamboat sells out in a few days. Both promotions will run until the end of October.
