LEGO’s BrickHeadz line has proved to be one of the most enduring ways of collecting brick-built characters from your favourite IPs, with literally hundreds having been given the treatment over the years. With the fifth and final season of smash hit Stranger Things coming to Netflix this November, it’s perhaps little surprise to see LEGO return to the theme to celebrate the occasion. A four-pack of characters from the show’s first season, 40801 Mike, Dustin, Lucas and Will Figures, will hit shelves later this year. 542 pieces make up, as the name suggests, Mike Wheeler, Dustin Henderson, Lucas Sinclair and Will Byer. Although we don’t yet have a confirmed release date, we do know that it will retail for US $39.99 | CAN $54.99 | UK £34.99.

Bart De Dobbelaer uses a stunning mix of only four colors to provide a powerful piece. Illtranor, Tree of Dawn provides us with a story of creation, civilization, and pride. Bart has a wonderful poem to accompany this beautiful build. With only four colors used, they are used very well. Sitting on a dark grey base, a deep back tree trunk provides a strong depth behind the white and translucent dark pink blossoms and branches. And the city that has grown up around the tree so perfectly matches the tree’s color. The post A dawn of translucent dark pink appeared first on The Brothers Brick.

It takes a special kind of crazy to be a supervillain, and a special kind of prison to keep the rest of us safe. A good thing, then, that Gotham City has the Arkham Asylum. And from September 12, you can have it too – in LEGO form! 76300 Arkham Asylum has just been unveiled, with 2,953 pieces and 16 minifigures covering both heroes (such as Batman and Robin) and villains (from Mr Freeze to Killer Croc). Interestingly, the press release – which you can read after the jump – indicates that it doubles as a 24-part advent calendar as well as a nice display piece. It’s a tad pricier than your usual LEGO advent calendar, at US $299.99 | CAN $379.99 | UK £269.99, but it can already be pre-ordered ahead of its September release.   LEGO DC Batman 76300 Arkham Asylum | 2,953 Pieces | Available September 1, pre-orders...

It’s barely been a few months since Nintendo launched the Switch 2, continuing their long line of handheld (well, kind of) gaming consoles. Of course, it all started in 1989 (or 1990 in the US) with the Game Boy. The latter is the subject of a new set in the LEGO Super Mario line: 72046 Game Boy, a 421-piece set with a price tag of US $59.99 | CAN $79.99 | UK £54.99. Two buildable Game Pak cartridges are included: Super Mario Land and, although this is listed as part of the Super Mario theme, The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening also makes an appearance. You can swap the screen out to reflect which cartridge you’ve got in there, too! You can pick up this icon of gaming from this October 1.
