Let’s get this out of the way first—this quick look at LEGO Icons 11389 Project Hail Mary is staying firmly in spoiler-free territory. Nothing here will ruin the story beyond what you’ve probably already seen in trailers or marketing. I would highly recommend reading Project Hail Mary and seeing the movie, as I do think there are definitely aspects of this set that become much more enjoyable when you have the right context. From The Martian to the Hail Mary So I might not be the resident space fan here at BrickNerd, but I am one of them—and also an avid reader. One of my favorite books is The Martian by Andy Weir. He’s also the author of Project Hail Mary, the book on which the movie—and this set—is based. Well… actually, I’m not really a reader. I’m more of a listener. I consume almost all my books in audiobook format,...

LEGO has opened up a new fan survey called the LEGO Fan Compass where you can help give feedback on your role in the hobby. The LEGO Deep Fandom Team wants you feedback on how your relationship is with LEGO and how you see the company as well as the fan community. One of the more interesting questions is how would you describe your energy of the LEGO community specifically. Right now, I’ve seen more negativity online regarding LEGO, whether it be about the higher prices or the products that have been put out recently. Another interesting question is about the blank check one where you can really make your voices heard. LEGO is literally asking you what you would fix or evolve that’s been stagnant in a decade. If you had a blank check of time and resources to ‘fix’ or ‘evolve’ one specific part of the LEGO hobby that...

Today’s guest article comes from Caleb Wagoner, a car and sports car racing enthusiast and AFOL from Virginia. You can find him online on Instagram. What Makes a Great Speed Champions Set? It’s been just over a decade since the Speed Champions theme was introduced… and it changed the LEGO car world forever. Today, we’re looking back at some of the best Speed Champions sets from the past ten years and which ones stand out as the very best. So what actually makes a great Speed Champions set? To me, a good Speed Champions set is a careful balance between three things: good part selection, creative building techniques, and how well it captures the source material. Of course, if one of those really stands out, it can make up for shortcomings in the others. So with that established, let’s dive in! McLaren Senna: Pushing the Limits The first set that checks...

LEGO has dropped a new teaser for a new LEGO One Piece Tony Tony Chopper minifigure. This probably means that we’ll be getting more LEGO One Piece live action sets later this year in addition to the Gum-Gum Fruit (75647) which was revealed next week. You may have noticed that the hat is more pink in the teaser and not red in the live action show. This may be a reference to the anime where Chopper’s hat is pink.

LEGO has announced that they will not be renewing their partnership with FIRST and this season will be the last First LEGO League season together. LEGO Education will still launch a 2027-2028 season but didn’t give details on what it will consist of at this time. LEGO Education back in January announced that they will be releasing a new Computer Science & AI learning solution while the SPIKE Portfolio will be retired at the end of June. Since 1998 we have partnered with FIRST® to inspire kids through STEM learning. As we look to the future, we’ve decided not to renew our partnership with FIRST. The 2026-2027 FIRST® LEGO® League season will be our last together. LEGO® Education will launch a 2027-2028 season, and we look forward to bringing fun, inspiring and creative STEM learning and the important skills it develops to even more children in the future.

“The Conversation Piece” is a monthly BrickNerd series about creativity and building with LEGO authored by our friends over at the Builder Improvement Initiative (BII), a Discord-based community that helps LEGO builders of all levels get better at their craft through knowledge-sharing and constructive feedback. Have a question you would like us to consider for a future article? You can submit it here. Enjoy! Who Are My People? At its core, LEGO building tends to be a rather individualistic hobby. Putting a set together is often a time to relax and mindlessly follow prescribed instructions to create a display piece or playset. When building a creation of your own, it is your personal accomplishment, shaped from your original inspiration to your final masterpiece. Even a builder’s collection, from their sorting system to part assortment, is tailored to their personal interests. However, the individualistic nature of the hobby can also lead to...
