Are you a LEGO fan who is tired of hearing, “Can’t you give me other gift ideas than LEGO?” during the holiday season? Are you a loved one of a LEGO fan looking to give something different because your LEGO fan has already bought all their gift ideas for themselves? Are you an AFOL who also loves tools? Are you curious as to what other AFOLs use to build? If you answered yes or maybe to any of those questions, then BrickNerd is here to help you! This list of useful tools for LEGO builders was sourced from both patrons and contributors of BrickNerd. Some of these gift ideas, as great a tool as they may be, may not always align with some builders’ purist sensibilities. And some of the utility of these gift ideas may surprise you.

It seems that LEGO has a bunch of stock for the LEGO Ninjago Micro Ninjago City (40703) as they are literally giving it away with purchases of $20. The 339 piece set was originally available back in March 2024 when it was an LEGO Insiders reward item costing 2,700 points. It was then bundled with the other micro Ninjago sets for 5,400 points but I guess nobody wanted to spend their points to get it. You can also double up the LEGO Ninjago Micro Ninjago City (40703) with the Winter Gazebo (40778) with purchases of $150. It looks like it’ll also work with pre-orders but the Gazebo will not so plan accordingly. As a Rakuten/Linkshare Affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
