In our last review of the LEGO Fortnite sets, we take a look at arguably the most popular set in the wave, the Battle Bus (77073). The set has 954 pieces and retails for $99.99. Ever since its release, it’s been on constant backorder but you can still put your orders in on it. Minifigures One of the main draws of this set is the slew of Fortnite characters in LEGO minifigure form. There are nine minifigures in the set which include Battalion Brawler, Adventure Peely, Brite Bomber, Cuddle Team Leader, Cube Assassin, Trespasser Elite, Drift, Meowscles, and Raven. Battalion Brawler, aka Jonesy, has a very detailed torso showing his pack secured with a harness. The arms are dual molded but one of his arms is missing the printing that’s in the game. He has a double-sided head showing him with a smile on one side and a smirk on the...

Today’s guest article comes from Juan Rodriguez Lopez, a builder living in the Seatle area who has mixed his passion for architecture with his love of LEGO bricks. He shares his entire process of designing custom castles from concept to creation to instructions. A Fortress and a Foundation Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been a bit of a castle nerd. Castles were endlessly fascinating to me—grand structures full of mystery, always perched on towering hillsides, watching over vast kingdoms. And sometimes, they even held a touch of magic! It’s no wonder that my favorite LEGO set growing up was the Fire Breathing Fortress (6082). That childhood love of castles stuck with me, and now, as an adult, it’s woven itself into my LEGO world. The spark to create my own LEGO fantasy models came with the release of the Mini Disney Castle (40478). I was drawn to it immediately,...

The LEGO Shop has revealed two new Insider Rewards sets coming this Black Friday which are related to the newly announced LEGO Icons The Endurance (10335). One of them is the LEGO Marine Chronometer which you will be able to redeem for 2,400 points starting on November 29, while supplies last. It features a chronometer that is stored inside a box. The other set is the Barracuda Seas which is a miniature version of the Black Seas Barracuda. I’m going to assume it will cost 2,400 points as well.

Brad Barber is a LEGO builder from Orlando, Florida who lives in Japan thanks to his job in the US Navy. Most people either collect LEGO sets or throw all their parts together and build MOCs. Brad does neither. He is a builder who likes to challenge himself by using only the parts from a single set when he builds a model. Lamborghini Diablo built from the parts of set 10290 Pickup Truck Brad says he has been building with LEGO for as long as he can remember. When he discovered Rebrickable a few years ago, he liked the idea of alternate builds. After trying with a few different sets he found form with cars. He turned a farm truck into a Lamborghini Diablo and a Ford GT into a Batmobile. The Force Is Strong With This One Earlier this year, he changed direction when he saw the 75375 Millennium Falcon...

I’m no stranger to LEGO gardens, so I was very excited to get an early chance to build the latest release in the LEGO Ideas theme: 215353 The Botanical Garden. Yours truly in the truly beautiful Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh As a long-time builder of LEGO gardens, I really appreciate the plethora of plant and foliage pieces that we now get. The recolours that have been introduced by the Botanical Collection theme are fantastic. This set gives us not only a really useful element recolour, but also new moulds for both plants and glazing elements. Our friends over at New Elementary have already brilliantly covered the four new moulds this set boasts – the most ever in an Ideas set I believe – so I won’t go into too much detail, but they all give us new options which is always welcome.
