LEGO has revealed a new gift with purchase set on the LEGO Shop with the LEGO Creator 3-in-1 Mythical Pegasus (40691). The set hs 278 pieces and the parts can be used to build a pegasus, dragon, or a bird. There’s no word yet on the release date or the price requirements to get it but I assume it’ll be shortly after August 16 because that’s when the current set of promotions end. Creative kids aged 7+ can travel to a magical fantasy world to play out fun stories with this Mythical Pegasus (40691) 3in1 toy. The supercute winged horse has posable feet, wings, head and tail, and can stand on all 4 legs – or on its hind legs when on its pedestal. Kids can then choose to rebuild it into a mythical dragon toy with posable wings and tail, or a mythical bird with its wings spread, ready to...

Today’s guest article comes from Australian builder Kristel Whitaker, known for her whimsical builds and her continual exploration of colourful tile techniques. She shares her experience building LEGO’s new 41839 Message Board set on BrickNerd’s behalf. Editor’s Introduction A few weeks back, BrickNerd was offered a new LEGO “message board” set. As with most offers through the LEGO Ambassador program, we needed to respond quickly, knowing little about the set. With the recent retirement of the DOTS theme, we were at least curious to see what new direction LEGO might take with lettered signage. If nothing else, we hoped that some new brick-built font styles or techniques would be featured. This led to a discussion amongst ourselves about all of the notable brick-built alphabets that the LEGO MOC building community has developed through the years. Here are a few of the notable examples that came to mind: A person whose font...

Today’s guest article comes from Chris Castagnetto who shares his experience visiting San Diego Comic-Con over the years. San Diego Comic-Con, one of the largest fan events in the world, was hosted from July 24th to 28th. In classic form, LEGO showed up with a collection of fan activations and experiences for AFOLs of all ages. As a fan of pop culture and an attendee of Comic-Con since 2002, I have been lucky enough to have been witness to LEGO and their fan experiences and activations over the years. Today I’m going to share my LEGO Comic-Con experience in 2024 while also reflecting on LEGO’s Comic-Con experiences over the years and how they have evolved and grown to what we see today. From fights for exclusive minifigs and sets to a more community-based approach, these are the good and the bad of LEGO at Comic-Con. LEGO Panels: Ninjago Dragons Rising and LEGO Masters...
