MAR10 day will be happening next week and Nintendo has announced that there will be a slew of activities and reveals happening during that day. In their press release, it is stated that there will be a special reveal announcement from LEGO on their YouTube channel on March 10 at 8am PT. What could this LEGO Super Mario announcement be? Could it be LEGO sets for the upcoming The Super Mario Bros. Movie? Perhaps its more expansion sets for the current theme. There have also been rumors of a larger set coming later on in the year but we’ll see. The post LEGO Super Mario Reveal Announcement on MAR10 Day appeared first on The Brick Fan.

Following yesterday’s look at the LEGO House’s upscaled Captain Red Beard, today we take a continued tour around a pirate bay MOC that is as big as they get! Despite the scale of this build, it’s not a collaboration between a bunch of LUG members but rather a singular build made by a Swedish couple who just decided one morning to build something huge. So hold your breath as we take a deep dive into this awesome creation. Andreas: Thanks for chatting with BrickNerd. Could you introduce yourselves a bit? Martina & Andreas: We are Martina and Andreas Hed, and we live in a small town called Köping in Sweden. We actually didn’t have any interest in LEGO when we first met in 2006. We are both musicians and have played in the same band, so we can say that music actually brought us together. When our band split up, we...

The LEGO House has just released the latest model in their exclusive limited-edition series, 40504 A Minifigure Tribute, available only in Billund, Denmark. Celebrating the 45th anniversary of the minifigure, this 6x-scale version (maxifig) of Captain Red Beard is the latest iteration of brick-built minifigures that LEGO has created over the years. Join BrickNerd as we take a look at the similarities and differences between these brick-built buccaneers! Predecessors at Scale Before we look at our pirate friends, we have to start a few decades earlier. A large brick-built minifigure (set 3723) was released in 2000. Standing nearly 20 inches tall, this version included movable arms, hands, a rotating neck and a removable hat. The legs were in a fixed position, although they did visually depict the leg hinge of real minifigures. The set had a whopping 1,850 pieces, including over 500 2x_ bricks (you can fill in the blank with...
