Starting next week on October 15 until the end of the month, LEGO will be running a new promotion at LEGO Brand Stores and on Shop@Home for the LEGO Minifigure Collector Frame (5005359). The set has 55 pieces and you can get it for free with purchases of $75 or more, while supplies last. The frame comes “packaged” in a slipcover and the bag of parts are taped on to the frame. Don’t worry, the tape won’t stick so much to the frame that it’ll rip it. Minifigure There is an exclusive minifigure that comes with the frame which is a guy that fits more in with the summertime. He has on a white tanktop with a printed stud on top of a muffin so he’s a stud muffin. Get it? We didn’t know this before, but he does come with a double-sided head. On one side, he wears some blue...

The Chemical Plant by Ymarilego is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The plant is set on two 32×32 gray baseplates and it consists of about 1,900 pieces. It has lots of detail of what you would typically see in an actual chemical plant. It joins the Dinosaurs Follils Skeletons – Natural History Collection as the projects to reach the Third 2018 Review Stage.

I really dig this little dude by builder optimus-convoy, he’s a cool mix of Bionicle, Knights, Hero Factory and System. The metallic stone parts are the real star here, used just enough to tie the whole figure together and give him a unique look. Nice photography too, simple but elegant.

Frost has built a lovely little trolley for those off to Spooky Town. The dark grey, orange, black, and trans-yellow color scheme works well, at first I wanted it to drop the grey in favor of black, but upon reflection I think that would really harm the fun of this build. I believe Halloween needs to strike a balance of Spooky Fun and Spooky Scary and this cheeks those requirements nicely. The angled front windows and sideways built door, really helps to capture that classic trolley look as well. Original linkOriginal author: Michael J

The LEGO Creator Winter Village Fire Station (10263) has just been released and LEGO was gracious enough to send over a review copy to see if it is a worthy enough set to add to your Winter Village. It has 1,166 pieces and retails for $99.99 which is a decent price for what you get. It has 10 total bags that are numbered from 1-3. The two instruction books are packaged along with a small sticker sheet. Minifigure There are six minifigures in this set along with a baby. There is a young male that wears a light brown sweater with blue pants. His facial expression shows him with a happy smile has he is playing some ice hockey with a hockey stick and skates as his accessories. The young girl wears a red plaid sweater with an orange scarf and some short gray legs. Her face printing shows her wearing...

Marvel just announced at New York Comic Con 2018, there will be a new animated LEGO special called LEGO Marvel Spider-Man: Vexed by Venom that will be airing next year. The synopsis of the animated special is: Tech theft is at an all-time high thanks to Green Goblin & Venom… So can our Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man put an end to their mysterious villainous scheme before all of New York City is destroyed? Some of the voice actors that will be in the show include Robbie Daymond as Spider-Man/Peter Parker, Ben Pronsky as Venom, Josh Keaton as Green Goblin, Laura Bailey as Ghost-Spider/Gwen Stacy, and Tara Strong as Mary Jane. There will be a LEGO Marvel Super Heroes set that called Spider-Man Mech vs. Venom Mech (76115) that will include some of these characters but I’m not sure if it is tied to the animated special or not.

I have no idea who Squall is, nor do I have time to research it, but this figure from vitreolum is gorgeous. And since cosplay is sort of a new thing for me, at least as a focus for sharing in my fledgling endeavor Nerds&Makers, the name was as intriguing to me as the MOC. I find it fascinating that this might be inspired by someone playing a character, how cool is that? Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

A few months ago, we got our first look at the LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter Diagon Alley (40289) promotional set and I’ve gotten reported details on how it will be available. My source has told me that it will be available starting on November 9 with purchases of $99 or more. It’s interesting that the promotion is not listed on the November 2018 LEGO Store Calendar. There’s no mention on when the promotion will end but I assume it’ll be before the Black Friday promotions start unless LEGO is being generous and lets it run until the end of the month. As for the set itself, it consists of mini buildings of Gringotts Wizarding Bank, Ollivanders, Flourish & Blotts, Quality Quiddich Supplies and Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes and it also includes an exclusive Ollivander minifigure.

Life in Ninjago City is crowded, but splendid. Builder Galaktek decided to heed the call of The Brothers Brick and contribute to the Ninjago collaboration at BrickCon 2018. If you’re in the Seattle area and not already at the con (I am not, sad face) I encourage you to go see some amazing creations this weekend, including this stunning addition.

The Road Warrior (Mad Max 2) was one of those films that blew my young mind. So gritty, so brutal, so Australian. About the only thing cooler than Max was his modified police interceptor, recreated brilliantly by builder crash_cramer. You can practically smell the gasoline, hear the whine of the supercharger, taste the dust and feel the heat of the outback. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy
