Every week, there are more amazing MOCs and builder stories than we can cover, which is why we’re so grateful to welcome back ABrickDreamer‘s This Week in Bricks series. And what a busy week it’s been, especially as we have our hands full herding all the animal heroes scurrying in for Delving Day. Sit back, grab a few bricks for table scraps, and enjoy the show!

As a Rakuten/Linkshare Affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases. The post Last Day for LEGO Double Insiders Points – June 2025 appeared first on The Brick Fan.
