Many incredible AFOL-designed sets have come out of the Bricklink Designer Program, especially for fans of Castle, history, and trains.  But even after 9 cycles of submissions and fan voting, there’s one popular LEGO category that hasn’t been represented – Space! Will series 10 break the streak? Perhaps the Graviton Nomad by VangelisBricks is the sleek spaceship that can introduce modern spaceship design to a bigger audience. Built from 1894 pieces, Vangelis’ ship is a sophisticated departure from the Spaceships found in official LEGO sets, while feeling right at home alongside the best Starships featured on this site and popular online. The dynamic mix of angles and curves, clear blocking, subtle asymmetry, and bold colors evoke the amazing creations of builders like Blake Foster and Nick Trotta. Shipbuilding aside, one thing I appreciate about Vangelis’ submission is the strong narrative that accompanies the build. This isn’t just a generic spaceship or nostalgia...

The LEGO Ideas program, which lets fan ideas become official sets, features a pretty even split between licensed brands like Gremlins and Twilight and non-IP subjects, often drawing on nature. Today, we’re taking a look at one of those nature sets – LEGO Ideas 21366 Floating Sea Otters. The set underwent pretty major changes since the fan concept earned its 10k votes, even picking up a bonus baby otter in the process! How does the final model stack up? Today we’re joined by guest reviewer Sakiya Watanabe (n.a.b.e_mocs) for a deep dive on the set. Sakiya’s lifelike creature mocs made him one of our favorite builders of last year, so it’s quite a treat that the builder also created his own Sea Otter moc to accompany the official set, which you can see at the end of the review. Now let’s crack open some clams and get to the review! The LEGO...

The “final eight” of the Iron Forge tournament has been full of exciting up-and-coming LEGO builders, but the last spotlighted builder needs no introduction. Grant Davis may be an Iron Forge novice, but he’s a two-time Iron Builder champion, earning the title in 2017 and defending it in 2020. Grant also co-designed the LEGO Ideas Pop-up Book and is one of the most popular LEGO video creators around with a focus on kinetic builds. Talk about pedigree! So this is a builder that’s really left their mark on the competition – and I’m not just talking about this footprint. We’ve seen a lot of body parts re-created using the engine intake that forms the third round’s seed part. But of all of them, the nose on this Moai might be my favourite use! I don’t know how seed parts are chosen for these contests, but I bet one of the criteria is...
