Once again, the holidays are upon us! As folks may have noticed over the years, Christmas is pretty popular here at BrickNerd, and we’ve gotten nerdy about all manner of holiday decorations and traditions. We’ve covered the trees themselves with the UCS Christmas Tree (Eiffel tower) and how to make a large-scale wooden LEGO tree. We’ve had plenty of articles on ornaments (Roguebricks Christmas Bauble Secret Santa and Deck the-Halls with Balls of LEGO). If you go way back in the archives, you even find full a brick-built tree! Expanding beyond our own little Nerdom, you have Chris McVeigh’s two excellent ornament books, and the LEGO company’s own ornament offerings, but we will stop there to keep the list short! But I can’t recall ever seeing anyone who has made Christmas tree lights out of LEGO… Well, now someone has! Light proof of concept on a single bulb demo light Let...

Last year at LEGO World Utrecht, BrickNerd challenged several builders to create a new GBC module only using parts from a single set. After the success of that competition and the following interest, we are bringing the challenge back for another round! The builders loved it, the crowd loved it, and it pushed all of us to be more creative. So here we are back again with a new set that has entered the arena… Choosing the Right Set for a One-Week GBC Build Choosing the right set was the first real hurdle. Last year, the choice was easy. 42167 Technic Garbage Truck had plenty of panels and just enough gears to build a reliable GBC module, so it was the obvious pick for the first attempt.
