Andor was the best show of 2022, the best Star Wars that Disney has ever made… and honestly, quite possibly the best Star Wars this side of Empire Strikes back. I’ll admit to a little bias, as Rogue One is my favorite of the movies, but it’s not exactly a stretch to say Andor is […] The post Review: 75338 Ambush on Ferrix appeared first on FBTB.

(Just quick not, I’m a doof and misnumbered all of my recent reviews. I fixed them all and was surprised at how much closer I am to the 230 number than I thought.) I’m almost ashamed to admit this, but I never watched the Andrew Garfield Amazing Spider-Man films. So I really have no frame […] The post A Year of Polybags 208/230: 5002125 Electro Review appeared first on FBTB. Original link

This LEGO coffee house build comes to us from Isaac Snyder for this year’s Eurobricks event. The task? Building a house with significance to the builder. In this case, Isaac draws inspiration from a local coffee shop. Let’s take a closer look at the house, starting with the outdoor furniture. Check out the chairs with the tables! Some nice usage of brackets for the chairs’ seats and back, paired nicely with those plates with shafts. That’s something I really adore with builds of this scale–the parts usage ends up being really creative to imply/represent what the builder wants for the model. There are more techniques at work here too, like the brickwork. Using those half curved 1×1 tiles throughout the textured and plain bricks gives more depth and shaping to what would be flat walls otherwise. Excellent build all around from mine eyes.

Today LEGO has officially revealed the latest set based on real-life spacecraft with the LEGO Technic 42158 NASA Mars Rover Perseverance, a 1,132-piece model of the NASA Jet Propulsion Lab’s newest red planet vehicle, including its flying companion, the Ingenuity Helicopter. The 12.5-inch long model (32cm) features all-new wheel elements with working steering and articulated suspension, as well as with a moveable arm. Although the model is not motorized, there is a companion augmented reality (AR) app that can show the model on a Mars-like surface and allow users to check the weather on Mars or learn other facts about the fourth planet from the sun. The set will be available starting June 1 for US $99.99 | CAN $129.99 | UK £84.99. 42158 NASA Mars Rover Perseverance | 1,132 pieces | Available June 1 | US $99.99 | CAN $129.99 | UK £84.99 Here’s the full press release from LEGO....

I’ve always had a love for robotics and LEGO, so it’s always a good time when they come together like they do in this build from Karf Oohlu. These kinds of builds really show off the versatility of LEGO elements by capturing realistic details. For example, check out those hydraulics and mechanisms that would allow the arm to move. The arm itself looks posable with those hinges and joints. A great addition to the LEGO is the rubber seal at the base of the claw. It’s always nice to see additional materials, whether from LEGO or from other sources, included in builds. They lend some great textures and a grounded feeling to a build, and can smooth out the lines. The post Robots are claw-some! appeared first on The Brothers Brick.
