Nearly 15 years ago, LEGO launched a new line of action-themed sets in a theme called Ninjago. At the time it was expected to be much like other themes of the time, with a run of two to three years. As it turned out, it was successful beyond even LEGO’s own expectations – and the theme is now a beloved mainstay of their current catalogue. At least part of Ninjago’s success can be attributed to the accompanying TV series, the pilot episodes for which were broadcast in January 2011. In an apt celebration of this anniversary, January 1, 2026 sees the release of 71858 Four Weapons Blacksmith. 1,259 pieces make up the place where the Ninjago story started – yours for US $99.99 | CAN $129.99 | UK £89.99. Let’s look at it together and go back to the beginning – long before time had a name… LEGO Ninjago 71858 Four...

We all know the rules. During the holidays, if you get caught under the mistletoe, you get kissed. But get caught underneath this polar projectile by Trevor Pearson-Jones, and you might just kiss your butt good-bye. In addition to being a perfectly rendered visual pun, we appreciate the sense of motion instilled in the build. That festive fella really looks like he’s holding on for dear life. But we guess Kermit takes all the really good holiday jobs for amphibians, and this guy’s gotta take what he can get.

It must have been divine inspiration. A stained-glass window at church set Mr Youm to considering what the image would look like in 3D, and the resulting build isn’t quite like anything we’ve ever seen before. Copious amounts of black tubing and bars have been shaped into an outline holding a heavnly host of transparent LEGO elements together, creating an angel who looks for all the world like a stained-glass come to live. It’s incredible enough that the silhouette of the angle was achieved, but when you dig in on the details – the natural bend of the fingers, the individual toes – it’s something that can only be called a miracle.

Luke (cathedralofbricks) has enriched the castle community this year with incredible builds that blend gothic detail and fairy tale romanticism on an epic scale. Last time, Luke tackled an iconic location from Middle Earth, but for his latest, Luke builds from imagination and tells the tale of a newly coronated king who has commissioned an “eternal spring” – a fountain that to the people’s eyes might as well be magic in how it harnesses the power of nature. The centerpiece fountain sits atop an impressive mosaic floor that blends SNOT techniques and tiles. One of Luke’s focuses for this model was arches, with different techniques used throughout the build. Technic treads work serve as roof tiles providing a nice contrast from the bley walls. Stained glass windows employ familiar techniques, enhanced by Luke’s knack for gothic details. From this high vantage, you can also appreciate the cracks in the steps below...
