The LEGO Group has announced a new initiative called LEGO Max that will implement lifetime purchase limits for customers as part of their corporate sustainability strategy. Named after the now-defunct LEGO Club mascot, LEGO Max seeks to “maximize fun for all” while being responsible stewards of their planet protection promise. As the main tenet of LEGO Max, the company will cap their overall production output (even though demand for LEGO products continues to grow each year). This means that once all existing factory construction projects are complete, the company will no longer expand production capacity. With a finite supply of products, the added customer lifetime purchase limits are meant to ensure that LEGO fans prioritize the sets they want most. A sub-initiative of LEGO Max is their “Share More – Build More” effort, which will give fans the ability to earn offset purchasing credits by reselling new or used LEGO products...

Happy Easter, BrickNerd fans! With the arrival of spring, we thought it would be fun to take a look at a fluffle of brick-built rabbits! That’s right, this is a rabbit round-up of these furry little critters! What inspired this foray into all things adorable? Well, it could be our AdoraBuild contest which is down to its last month! (Seriously, what are you waiting for to enter!?) But in reality, it is because last year, LEGO sent us this little bunny and they just started to multiply! 40575 Year of the Rabbit was a set with purchase last year (this year is the dragon—such a cooler creature—could a rabbit eat a dragon? No way! Well, unless it was this rabbit...). So before we build the set in the most epic way possible, let’s see what wascally wabbit MOCs we can find first. Rabbit by car-mp First up, we’ve got this handsome...

Okay, BrickNerd fans, better pop a couple of Dramamines and slip on your swim floaties because today we’re checking out some crafty LEGO wave action MOCs! We’ll jump right in (feet first of course) with Grant Davis’ lovely seaside scene, complete with lighthouse, sand castle, and surfing bear. The video shows all those nifty Technic innards that create the wavy action as well as the aesthetic details that make the set such a splash. Paddeling back in time a few years, we’ve got Deborah Higdon’s Copenhagen Nyhavn scene from 2014. Since this is an urban setting, the watery action appears more sloshy than wavy. Thus the absence of surfing bears. Now for our third iteration of LEGO wave action, we’ve got Brian William’s World of Lights award-winning display at BrickWorld 2019, captured by BrickNerd’s own Ted Andes. Using a similar plates-over-netting technique as the other builds, Brian creates a higher amplitude...

Amazon has dropped the price of the LEGO Marvel Hulkbuster (76210) back down to 40% off again and the lowest it’s been since last holiday season. It is currently priced at $331.99 which is close to the lowest ever advertised price but not quite yet. Funny enough, Amazon’s price is actually lower than the sale price on the LEGO Shop.

Spring is in full bloom, and with that Easter and the end of March are upon us already: That can only mean one thing—it’s high time for our monthly LEGO community round-up! So sit back and enjoy this month’s Easter basket full of insightful articles, in-depth features, and wonderful videos from all across the LEGO community! We are lucky to have this many outlets and channels that keep creating incredible content, and these are the best of the month. Here at Bricknerd, we launched The AdoraBuild – our LEGO contest all about cute! We used color theory and composition in MOCs, experienced a world record and a parade of AT-ATs, and took a massive rover for a spin. We made our first steps with PyBricks, looked at the beginning of LEGO’s IP partnerships and the history of Fabuland, and went underground into a motorized mine. We even published instructions for a...

Starting in April, LEGO will have a new gift with purchase set with the Flower Trellis Display (40683). The 440 piece set will be available from April 1-16 with purchases of $150. If you miss it the first time, LEGO will have it again from May 27 – June 9 at the same price requirement. The first couple of bags lets you build the base of the trellis with the wicker basket detailing using slope pieces. Next up, there are some tan grid plates used for the backdrop of the trellis. There are some black plates with pins spread out on the grid for the plants later on. The first set of plants are the vines that uses mostly Technic parts and they attach to the plates. There’s also some flowers on the bottom left that are showing some buds. To the top right are a couple of lavendar and purple...

Is it really possible to completely catch up on sorting all your loose LEGO brick? Surely some reach this achievement! I at least tell myself this, hoping to stay motivated and get my collection to that point one day. But is there a way to sort faster? Perhaps it is time to sift instead of sort! Image via Brickfanatics For this article’s purpose I won’t be touching upon the actual various methods of sorting parts, as that has been covered many times before. Instead, I will take you on the journey of experimentation in making my own part sifter! I’ve had the idea to make one for well over a year, and finally used this article to motivate myself in getting it done (mostly!).
