LEGO has officially revealed a new LEGO BrickHeadz Fortnite set featuring Drift & Raven Figures (40884). The set has 280 pieced and will retail for $19.99. We’ll have to wait and see if this is listed as a regular set you can buy or a gift with purchase set because the last time LEGO revealed a Fortnite BrickHeadz, it changed from one to the other. Build iconic video game collectibles with this LEGO® BrickHeadz Fortnite® Drift & Raven Figures (40884) building set for kids aged 10 and over. Gamers create Drift, who wears a pink hood and white mask, and Raven, who wears a dark hood and feathers, before adding their awesome Pickaxe and sword accessories. The BrickHeadz set makes a great gaming gift for boys and girls, who can use the LEGO Fortnite toys for imaginative role play or as video game decor. Set contains 280 pieces. The post LEGO...

Have you ever rebuilt a LEGO set into something else entirely? Congratulations, that’s an alt-build! We are getting a bit nostalgic here, but I’m missing those fun alternative builds on the back of old LEGO Boxes. While “MOCs” weren’t a thing yet back then, it did show how to be creative with the bricks without following the instructions. Someone who really knows how to be creative with just one set is LEGO builder Dorian. When looking at one of his latest creations, you would think it’s just a great MOC—a stunning homage to The Mandolarian’s Razor Crest in beautiful red. But what makes this even greater and takes it to the next level, is that it’s made by only using parts from the 70615 Fire Mech. It’s an impressive transformation, turning the mech into a complete spaceship. And by complete, I mean it has it all! Retractable landing gear, removable cockpit,...

If you’ve been on LEGO Pick a Brick the past week or so, you may have been disappointed to see that they have paused Standard Service for North America. First noticed by New Elementary, there are thousands of elements that cannot be purchased anymore except for the Bestsellers and LEGO has put up a banner notice. As of this post there are only 1,535 elements available for purchase with 1,455 of them in the Bestsellers list. LEGO’s Standard Service ships out of Billund, Denmark while the Bestsellers are shipped from Illinois. There’s no official statement on why LEGO paused Standard Service but we can assume it is the result of the removal of the De Minimis exemption which started yesterday. The exception before allowed packages worth less than $800 to enter the US without paying customs on it. With the exemption removed, there are now country specifc tariffs in effect even...

August brought no shortage of great LEGO content from around the globe! Here at BrickNerd, we travelled to BrickCon.PH in the Philippines, Paredes de Coura in Portugal, Comic-Con in San Diego, BSBT in Germany, and even to Epic Universe in Florida to help LEGO Toothless find the real one! We built a battle pack of trees, an Iron Man mini bust, an awesome Nerd Mech, the new One Piece sets, and a slightly disturbing long-arm Benny. We talked to builders about minifig-scale Pokémon characters, a fabulous national park collaboration, and an impressive cheese slope mosaic while delving into the history and meaning of FROGust. We even explored Middle Earth, started a First LEGO League team, looked at physical and inspirational tools for MOC builders, and explored the engineering principles and polygons needed for SHIPtember. In fact, we’ve published so many interesting articles in August that we’ve included an interactive calendar of...

LEGO has officially revealed the next LEGO Ideas set coming soon with Gremlins: Gizmo (21361). Releasing on October 1 (pre-order today), the set has 1,125 pieces and will retail for $109.99. Gizmo was one of the winners in the LEGO Ideas If We Can Turn Back Time building contest last April. The set features a brick-built model of the little Mogwai that can be displayed either standing or sitting. The head can also rotate while the ears, arms, hands, and fingers have articulation. Gizmo also comes with a pair of brick-built 3D glasses and a water splash piece for some foreshadowing of what’s to come when he gets wet. Show your affection for the cutest Mogwai in the 1984 movie Gremlins with a LEGO® Ideas posable figure of Gizmo (21361). This collectible model building set for adults allows you to capture all of Gizmo’s adorable characteristics in LEGO style. Assemble the...

LEGO has announced an upcoming LEGO Star Wars livestream for a new mystery set on September 4 at 9:15am ET/6:15 PT. The only hint that is given is that it is for something BIG. There’s nothing else Star Wars rumored for 2025 except for the usual suspect and if you’ve been online the past few weeks, you probably know what it is. For the rest of us, we’ll just have to wait and see the reveal. The post LEGO Star Wars Livestream – September 4 appeared first on The Brick Fan.

Today’s guest article comes from Huib Versteeg, an engineer and veteran LEGO SHIP builder with lots of experience on how to build both sturdy and complicated SHIP frames. Introduction Greetings SHIPwrights! As you may have heard through the grapevine, or simply noticed by looking at the calendar, SHIPtember is fast approaching. If you’re unfamiliar with the concept, I would direct you to this great article featured previously on BrickNerd where Oscar gives a nice overview of what to expect and how to participate in this fantastically fun annual event. Essentially, SHIPtember is a one-month challenge to build a LEGO spaceship at least 100 studs long, hence the “Seriously Huge Investment in Parts.” Here, I will be focusing on one very specific part of building a SHIP: structural integrity. This will be quite a deep dive with one simple goal: to give you the tools you need to build a beautiful SHIP...
