It’s been two weeks since Avengers: Infinity War was released in theaters and if you’re a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe like me, you’ve probably seen the movie already, maybe more than once. I’ve been asked a few times to compare the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers: Infinity War sets to the movie and that’s what I’ll do in this new series I’m starting on this site simply called Movie to Set Comparison. As we know by now, LEGO usually releases sets depicting scenes for a particular movie and sometimes they aren’t that accurate due to them having only a little bit of source material to go by. What I’ll be doing is watching a certain movie and comparing the sets to see how accurate they are to the film. What better beginning to this series than to compare the LEGO sets to the record-setting Avengers: Infinity War. There are...

Today is the last day for the LEGO Star Wars May the 4th promotions at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home. The main promo here are the double VIP points you get for your purchases, minus the Y-Wing (75181). The UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) is still available and do qualify for double points and since there aren’t that many sales on this set, the points are the best deal you’ll get on it until the next double points event rolls around. Also if you’re a Black VIP card holder, don’t forget to claim your unique code for the Y-Wing Blueprint Poster when you make your purchase.

May the 4th has passed and the set that was released was the LEGO Star Wars UCS Y-Wing Starfighter (75181) and not the rumored Cloud City set but there are some new details of the set coming out of Eurobricks recently. User Paperballpark, who is considered a reliable source of info, has revealed that there is a Cloud City (75222) set coming, most likely in the fall, and it’s a playset similar to the Death Star (75159). They mention that if you “chop the bottom off the Death Star, then add a few platforms and a ship or two,” it’ll be what we could expect in the set. The ships are rumored to be a medium-sized Slave I and a Twin-Pod Cloud Car. As for the play details, it’ll be open like the Death Star and I assume it’ll have different rooms with scenes from Star Wars Episode V: The Empire...

Ok, that's not really the name of this MOC by Pate-keetongu, it's just where my sophomoric, forever 80's brain goes whenever I see a sequel with a "2". The funny part is, while this is a sequel, the original hasn't been posted, we'll just have to wait and see what that is. Anyway, this entire block is chock full of marvelous details, interesting architectural style and irresistible appeal. I want to visit this place. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

The largest set that LEGO has produced is the LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) which comes in at a massive 7,541 pieces while costing a whopping $799.99. I’ve already done an unboxing on it so you can check it out if you want. With today being May the 4th, now is a very good time to finally release this review. First off, let me preface this review by saying sorry for the lateness of the review. My camera image data and part of the review got corrupted on my old laptop a few months ago and I’ve finally had time to rebuild and retype out what I’ve already done in between what was happening with Toys R Us and changing jobs. Things just weren’t going right the past few months. Instruction Manual The manual is thick and heavy coming in over 6 pounds. Yes, I weighed the book on...

For my next review of the LEGO Juniors The Incredibles 2 sets, I have the Underminer Bank Heist (10760) which retails for $24.99 and has 149 pieces. Inside the box, there are three numbered bags, some loose Quick Start molds, and the instruction booklet. Minifigures There are three minifigures in this set, Mr. Incredible, Mrs. Incredible, and Underminer. Mr. Incredible is slightly different from the version in the Disney Collectible Minifigures (71012) in some aspects. The muscle printing is more defined in this version and the orange belt is printed on the torso instead of on the legs. He has a double-sided head with a smirk on one side and a smile on the other. The hair piece is the same as before. Mrs. Incredible makes another appearance in these LEGO Juniors sets. This version of her is the normal arm one and the outfit is similar to Mr. Incredible. She...

It is May the Fourth, Star Wars day, and of course we're celebrating here at BrickNerd. And what better way than to showcase some brilliant Star Wars MOCs, like this absolutely fantastic Brickheadz rendition of Darth Vader himself by builder tankm. I don't know if I should fear him or hug him. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Umm, spoiler alert? Yeah, Snoke was wrapped in mystery until last December, now he's still mysterious, but decidedly unwrapped. After months and months of speculation from the fan community, the new ultimate baddie in the Star Wars universe was unceremoniously dispatched in The Last Jedi, as brilliantly recreated in Brickheadz form here by the great Ochre Jelly. So much for him huh? Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

You didn't think he got to be the "king of burgers" solely on the merits of the Whopper did you? No, if you want to dominate in the world of fast food you need a strategy, you need a colossal marketing program, and you need something else, something special. This is the BK-900 "Burgermeister Rex" by Baron Julius von Brunk, and it's here to conquer. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy
