Today’s guest article comes from BrickNerd patron Wayne Tyler. We’ve featured Wayne’s work numerous times and always marvel at how he improves photography from LEGO conventions. Today he shares the secrets behind his editing process. From So-So to Stunning I spent many years working as a videographer in broadcast television and commercial video. "We'll fix it in post." was often remarked by directors when they didn't get exactly what they wanted or were running out of time on a production shoot. Have you ever returned from a LEGO event where you took scads of pictures of the amazing MOCs but when you look at them on your computer monitors, they just don't look as impressive as when you saw them? I'm going to take you through my process of taking those so-so photos and making them look stunning. I'll show you how I got from this: to this: All you will need...

When I heard that there would be a Gift with Purchase released at the same time as the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, I was very excited for the possibilities. I knew it was highly unlikely, but I hoped for a NASA themed F-104 Chase Plane, or perhaps the Shuttle Training Aircraft, or maybe a LEGO-ized patch like what was done for the Lunar Lander. I was not, however, prepared for the assault of cuteness that I received. It was so cute, it might have just won our Adorabuild last year! Upon opening the shipping box the cuteness of a brick-built baby LEGO spaceman was staring back at me! The build is essentially BrickHeadz-like, but bigger and more in scale with the upscaled figures that have been popular as of late. (You might remember we took a deep dive into all things baby-scale two years ago.) Major Assemblies I really want one in every...

Imagine, for a moment, that it’s 2012… I have been collecting and building LEGO my whole life. However, I've been doing this mostly on my own. My friends still think it’s a bit silly, so I spend my time online to meet like-minded people. Brickshelf is the place to browse through all the wonderful creations that people have built, and Eurobricks is the place to interact with people who were just as silly as I. Opening my browser, I looked at the Eurobricks front page and saw a mention of the Eurobricks Event 2012. This would be a great opportunity to meet people behind the avatars and finally see LEGOLAND in all its glory. So, I signed up and magic ensued. Billund 2012 Let’s fast forrward to 2025. The AFOL community has changed a lot since 2012. I’m not considered silly anymore. LEGO even considers the adult market a priority. The...

One of the ingenious aspects of the LEGO minifigure habitat format is that they are designed to be stacked easily and interchangeably. But what if the act of stacking could be so integrated as to create something new and intentional when those habitats combine? Something unexpected. Something that may not even be recognizable as a habitat stack… and I mean that in a good way! There are many of us in the habitat building community who’ve looked at the habitat format and wondered how we can create something more. Where pushing the boundaries of habitat design is not just about the habitat, but about what a habitat stack can be. We’re embarking on a whirlwind tour of creative, integrated habitat stacking approaches to inspire, surprise, and hopefully open your mind to new possibilities of habitat design—starting from simpler integrations to the more radical and unexpected. Right now, we near my favorite...

They say a picture is worth a thousand words—and when it comes to photography, I’ve found that to be absolutely true. LEGO photographers, in particular, have a remarkable ability to tell rich, imaginative stories through minifigs. Their work often gives us a charming glimpse into a world in miniature, where minifigures live out full, expressive lives. One artist who does this beautifully is Ryo Tomita, known as @rennerbricks on Instagram and YouTube, a 26-year-old photographer from Japan. I met Ryo at the Japan Brick Festival in 2018. His images capture minifigures in everyday moments—walking, working, relaxing—as if they’re part of a bustling, brick-built world. Each photo feels like a snapshot from a much larger story, filled with detail, warmth, and quiet humor. I recently had the chance to chat with Ryo about his creative process, the inspiration behind his LEGO scenes, and what life looks like from behind his lens. Inez:...
