In addition to the amazing LEGO models created by builders worldwide, The Brothers Brick brings you the best LEGO news and reviews. This is our weekly Brick Report for the 2nd week of September 2025.TBB NEWS AND REVIEWS Wow, we have a lot of news to catch up on, since many of our TTB contributors were busy at Seattle’s BrickCon 2025 last weekend, where we hosted a fun collaborative display of a Steampunk-themed world’s fair. LEGO announced the very first $1,000 set, the Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series Death Star (referred to by many as the Death Slice). Also, a wave of holiday-themed LEGO sets was revealed (is it just me, or do they launch these sets earlier every year?). On top of all that, we got a new take on LEGO sets inspired by the natural world with the reveal of the new LEGO Ideas Mineral Collection. For another dose...

Earlier this year, we introduced you to Bullseye, a literal drum machine. But Steve ‘Rubblemaker‘ Marsh was in the process of crafting an entire technological trio, and they have finally arrived! Queen Bou-D-1CA is the band’s lead guitarist and vocalist. She’s shredding like no human can, thanks to two fretting arms. And no doubt when she’s really wailing, that head of chains whips around in a dramatic show. Meanwhile, the band’s bassit Gusoku the Low plays so fast that his instrument only needs two strings. Look at the way those articulate fingers can spread out. Bonus, Steve says the bass build really works, and it’s possible to get some notes out of it. That would be a great way to produce some music for set 21328. The post These robots are ready to rock appeared first on The Brothers Brick. Original linkOriginal author: Norm Harper

“The Conversation Piece” is a monthly BrickNerd series about creativity and building with LEGO authored by our friends over at the Builder Improvement Initiative (BII), a Discord-based community that helps LEGO builders of all levels get better at their craft through knowledge-sharing and constructive feedback. Have a question you would like us to consider for a future article? You can submit it here. Enjoy! Developing Style FS Leinad asks: “How does a builder's style develop? How does style develop? Is it better to strive for a consistent style or to branch out?” Do you have a favorite movie you throw on when you need to turn off your brain for a bit? An album or musician you listen to on loop? A video game or series of games you often find yourself returning to? Chances are, if you got a friend hooked on the same obsession, you have a shortlist of...

The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror by CoasterZoom is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The build features a miniature Hollywood Tower Hotel that is still at Disneyland Paris. Although it doesn’t seem to open up, it still has lots of the details including a hall, a heating room, two libraries and three elevator shafts.
