The other LEGO Disney dress set that we’ll be checking out is Maleficent’s and Cruella De Vil’s Dresses (43262). The set has 524 pieces and retails for $69.99. Minidolls The set does include minidolls of both Maleficent and Cruella De Vil. Maleficent is a returning minidoll but with an updated design on her dress. She also uses a new cape piece to complete her look. Her accessory is the golden scepter. She also comes with her pet raven, Diablo. Cruella De Vil is a new minidoll and she’s in her iconic look. She’s in her black dress and red high heels. The interesting part here is actually the fur-textured mink coat. She also has a pet dalmatian. Build There are three parts for the build, Maleficent’s dress, Cruella’s dress, and the display stand. Maleficent’s dress is still mostly black but this is the evolved version with the wings and horns. The...

Less than two weeks after the new LEGO Jurassic World Rebirth sets were announced, LEGO has quietly increased the price of a few of the sets. The only sets that weren’t touched (yet) are the two that are up for pre-orders which include the Brick-Built Mosasaurus Boat Mission (76974) and the T. rex River Escape (76975). There’s no mentioning of why LEGO decided to increase the prices, whether they originally listed them too low or if it’s a response to recent potential tariff threats to Mexico. The main complaints of the sets when they were first announced was that they were overpriced and with these price increases, fans may skip them all together or wait for discounts. Baby Dinosaur Dolores: Aquilops (76970) – 339 pieces/$24.99 $27.99 (12% increase) Raptor Off-Road Escape (76972) – 285 pieces/$34.99 $39.99 (14% increase) Raptor & Titanosaurus Tracking Mission (76973) – 582 pieces/$99.99 $109.99 (10% increase) Brick-Built...

In honor of Pi Day (π = 3.14 or, as I love to think of it, Pie Day!), what better way to celebrate than by indulging in some delectable dishes? But since you’re here at BrickNerd and not some fancy food blog, we’ll be feasting exclusively on LEGO creations. So, I hope you’re hungry for another technique spotlight because we’re serving up a full-course meal. Rise and Dine: Breakfast First off, you can’t cook up anything tasty without a decent kitchen. Perhaps this nostalgic kitchen (at least if you were born in the 80s or 90s) by Aukbricks will spark some culinary inspiration. I love how things aren’t quite minifig scale. Now that we have got our surroundings taken care of, let’s get started with the most important meal of the day—breakfast. Tyler has whipped up this tasty looking waffle and decided to go for breakfast in bed. A tried and...

I have spoken in passing before in previous articles on the changing nature of The LEGO Group’s marketing when discussing what I hold as the best online campaign The LEGO Group has created in the last 20 years: LEGO Club TV. I alluded to the idea that LEGO has begun to lean into the brick as a lifestyle as opposed to a force of creativity and imagination. With the Adults Welcome campaign starting in 2020, the presence of sets designed for display like the Botanicals Collection has only grown with time. It’s a sign of the times, and one I’m personally not so keen on as someone who grew up with a LEGO with an incredibly different brand identity 15 years ago. Is LEGO a lifestyle brand now? I’d like to explore what a lifestyle brand is and how The LEGO Group has, perhaps surprisingly, been following its key tenets since...

Hey BrickNerd fans! Long time, no see! I emailed Dave the other day to see if he needed an article for the month and if we have posted anything space-related in a while. “Wait, who are you?” he replied. Exactly! If you’ve been paying attention, you may have noticed a multitude of various sci-fi vehicles rolling through your Instabook, Facegram, TockTick feeds. I figured I’d feature a few for FebRovery here on BrickNerd, based on several criteria that are vaguely floating around in my head, and in no particular order. SpringTime Let’s start things off with Whitetron Color Research, in The Planet Frost series by Frost. It’s been a long winter here in Vermont, and something about this, in spite of it being on an alien world, reminds me of springtime. The rover itself has great wheel-to-chassis proportions, ready to take on the most challenging terrain. Even if it’s just to...
