The BrickHeadz theme has continued to branch out over the years to bring us everything from heroes and villains of the Marvel and DC universe to holiday characters, and most recently, a new sub-theme Pets. Today we’re taking a look at what I hope to see many more of, wild animal parents and their babies, LEGO BrickHeadz 40466 the Panda, and two cubs. The 249 piece set retails for  US$19.99 | CAN $24.99 | UK £17.99 The LEGO Group provided The Brothers Brick with an early copy of this set for review.

This is similar to the holiday-themed...

Truly, LEGO builder car_mp must be worthy, because this life-size version of Mjolnir, Thor’s Hammer, looks ready to demolish some dark elves or maybe just pin Thanos to the ground. Although it’s not a complex technique, the stacked brown and grey elements look great for the banded leather handle, while the smoothly tiled hammerhead itself seems to have the proper heft. Indeed, no doubt most of the 765-piece model’s complex building techniques are hidden deep within because it’s no small feat to get such a large weight to stay on the handle like that and not immediately fall off. The builder notes that it can be hefted, but does require some care. The post Only the worthy can build this LEGO Thor’s Hammer appeared first on The Brothers Brick.

While some LEGO builders want to hide the studs on their LEGO as much as possible to create a smooth-looking creation, Luka often has their studs on display to add texture to their creation. The studs are not only facing upwards; they are facing right, left, and center. The effect is quite nice. One thing I always struggle with when building with LEGO is making trees. Luka reminds us that it doesn’t always have to be a struggle. The trees in his build are quite simple but also quite stunning. There are a lot of droid arms used in this creation for various purposes; for the roof of the house and the base of the trees. Fun thing, in both situations, they are meant to represent wood. It is nice to see that the wood for the roof was probably bought locally, which has to be better for the environment. The...

Early last month in February, LEGO dropped an interesting soundtrack – an ASMR White Noise album made from LEGO bricks.  These white noise types of sounds are known to help listeners relax and get “in the zone” while focussing on other tasks. There’s now a video featuring the behind the scenes and the making of this unique placement by LEGO. We also share the full list of 12 streaming services that you can access the tracks from. The 12 services and locations of which you can access the ASMR White Noise album (some of these services require a subscription): Free on LEGO.com (here and here)TIDALYouTube MusicAmazonApple MusicDeezerHungamaJooxPandoraQobuzSpotifyTencent The Making Of… LEGO White Noise Over 10,000 bricks were experimented with to learn of the various sounds it produces in various scenarios and actions, surface textures, and recording techniques.

Rivendell – the mention of the name already evokes a feeling of home. A location in J.R.R. Tolkien’s famous books The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy, it appears as a sanctuary, a last respite to characters who are on a journey into “the wilderness.” Builder Elias (Brickleas) built the Last Homely House in all its peaceful glory in microscale in just 100 LEGO parts. While the elven buildings are tiny among the large cliffs, they are instantly recognisable thanks to clever parts usage. I love the way Elias uses books as the angled roofs, and one stickered book is actually very fitting here. It is the Red Book of Westmarch, the book that Bilbo Baggins wrote during his retirement in Rivendell. The battle droid torso also works very well, since its skeletal nature represents the open-air feel of those buildings. I found the small waterfalls very impressive, using...
