We are going to take a break from our normal coverage today to celebrate one of the best of the LEGO community, Joe Meno. When news broke of his passing, I was devastated and heartbroken. I’ve had to take many breaks while writing this article out of the emotion and grief, knowing such a dear friend is gone. For many readers, especially newer ones, the name Joe Meno might not immediately register. But if you’ve spent any meaningful time in the adult LEGO fan community over the last three decades, you have felt his influence… whether you realized it or not. Joe was the founder and longtime editor of BrickJournal, the first widely recognized print magazine devoted to adult LEGO fans. Long before “fan media” became popular, before influencer culture, before algorithms rewarded clicks, Joe was documenting builders through sheer hard work, telling the stories of the people behind the builds....

Minifigures There are three minifigures in the set, Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf. Link is in his iconic green outfit with the brown strap going across the chest. This is the same figure as in the Great Deku Tree (77092). The hairpiece is also connected to his green hat and ears. He does have a double-sided head with angry expressions on both sides. His accessories include the Master Sword and Hylian Shield. What’s interesting is that he doesn’t include the Ocarina of Time. Princess Zelda is a new variant of the character where she’s wearing the pink dress. There is some nice detailing on the torso which extends to the pearl-gold epaulettes. Her double-sided head shows her with...

In the 1960s, a new art movement emerged that transformed everyday objects and commercial imagery into high art. Pop Art challenged traditional boundaries, bringing mass culture into galleries and museums. Today, that movement’s influence endures—not just in paintings, ads, and digital media but in LEGO sets. IMage by Dave Schefcik LEGO’s latest set release pays tribute to one of Pop Art’s most iconic symbols: Robert Indiana’s LOVE sculpture. With its bold typography and striking simplicity, LOVE has become one of the most recognizable pieces of 20th-century art, appearing in parks, museums, and public spaces worldwide. But how did a simple four-letter word become such a cultural phenomenon? And what does LEGO’s take on it say about the ongoing relevance of Pop Art? Let’s take a closer look at the piece’s history, how the artist viewed his own work, and what LEGO Art set 31214 LOVE says about art and commercialization. The...

If you’re actually interested in the LEGO Brick Clog (5010203), they are now available on the LEGO Shop. They retail for $149.99 and surprisingly, some of the sizes are already out of stock. The Clog is part of a multi-year partnership with Crocs and is the first drop of 2026. For me, they’re more of a novelty item and I probably won’t be getting them.
