Once again, the holidays are upon us! As folks may have noticed over the years, Christmas is pretty popular here at BrickNerd, and we’ve gotten nerdy about all manner of holiday decorations and traditions. We’ve covered the trees themselves with the UCS Christmas Tree (Eiffel tower) and how to make a large-scale wooden LEGO tree. We’ve had plenty of articles on ornaments (Roguebricks Christmas Bauble Secret Santa and Deck the-Halls with Balls of LEGO). If you go way back in the archives, you even find full a brick-built tree! Expanding beyond our own little Nerdom, you have Chris McVeigh’s two excellent ornament books, and the LEGO company’s own ornament offerings, but we will stop there to keep the list short! But I can’t recall ever seeing anyone who has made Christmas tree lights out of LEGO… Well, now someone has! Light proof of concept on a single bulb demo light Let...

Last year at LEGO World Utrecht, BrickNerd challenged several builders to create a new GBC module only using parts from a single set. After the success of that competition and the following interest, we are bringing the challenge back for another round! The builders loved it, the crowd loved it, and it pushed all of us to be more creative. So here we are back again with a new set that has entered the arena… Choosing the Right Set for a One-Week GBC Build Choosing the right set was the first real hurdle. Last year, the choice was easy. 42167 Technic Garbage Truck had plenty of panels and just enough gears to build a reliable GBC module, so it was the obvious pick for the first attempt. For this year, we again leaned into Technic sets. They simply offer the best starting point for GBC building, with the structural parts and...

Last week, we reported that BrickLink would be stopping operations in 35 countries around the world. The reason given was that they didn’t have the resources to support Marketplace operations in those area at the same level as other countries and would end on December 12. This announcement angered and saddened many LEGO fans in the affected countries because BrickLink may be the only way to get LEGO or it was their livelihood. Head of BrickLink, Steven Lee, has issued an apology statement regarding the announcement. They basically apologized that BrickLink didn’t allow enough time to the affected countries enough notice so instead of closing on December 12, they just pushed it back to January 31, 2026. They are also removing fees from November, December, and January. The apology letter didn’t really explain why they don’t have the resources to support those countries. They letter was just long-winded without explaining and...

Steamboats are amazing; can we all just agree on that for starters? Pretty much any time a steamboat shows up in a movie, TV show, or cartoon, it instantly steals the show and becomes the most memorable thing you take away from the film. Enter the LEGO Ideas 21356 River Steamboat. It is beyond a doubt a gorgeous display piece in its own right that would look good anywhere, but it also is an amazing starting point for anyone looking to build other LEGO steamboats—at least that was the very first thought that the MOC-er in me had when I first laid eyes on the set! The sight of that beautiful red paddle wheel had my cogs turning at once, and I knew I had to get this set and turn it into my favorite steamboat ever… We’ll dive into some of the parts, techniques, and assemblies that not only make...

November brought no shortage of great LEGO content from around the globe! Here at BrickNerd, we started the month by announcing our annual Nerdvember contest, looked at building convincing characters, built some custom screen models for the Nintendo Game Boy, We looked at customization of the impressive new aquarium, took a look at some classic LEGO minifigures due for a comeback, looked at what went into creating a fleet of American Airlines models, and heard from a talented Japanesse LEGO artist whose creations have taken him all the way to the LEGO House masterpiece gallery!

We discovered a castle worthy of the Wizard and Emerald City, took a look at whether 3D...
