Reading patterns into LEGO’s release schedule is normally a fool’s errand. The minute you think you can guess what set is coming next based on what’s been before, the pattern changes. That said, after previous years saw releases of the McLaren MP4/4 and Williams FW14B – two of the most famous Formula One cars ever – the next car in this fledgling series should be a surprise to no one. The Ferrari F2004 dominated the, well, 2004 season, and propelled Michael Schumacher to a record 7th drivers’ title. From March 1, you’ll be able to build your own thanks to LEGO Icons 11375 Ferrari F2004 & Michael Schumacher. It has an RRP of USD/CAD/GBP, with 735 pieces. Will it dominate the competition like its real-life counterpart? Only one way to find out! The LEGO Group provided The Brothers Brick with an early copy of this set for review. Providing TBB with...

As you no doubt recall (and for shame if you don’t), Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home sees the crew of the original Star Trek series travel to 1980s San Francisco because a probe from space is speaking humpback whale. Trust me, it makes sense in context. Anyway, the film never gives us a glimpse at the other worldly creatures that want to speak with the humpbacks (my wife calls them whaliens), but I imagine they’d look something like this celestial cetacean by Jesse Gros. Jesse has captured the beauty and majesty of those gentle giants in a craft that looks like it would be equally at home gliding through the cosmos as through the waves.

Today’s guest article comes from Rylie Howerter, one of the LEGO fan community’s foremost color and materials enthusiasts. Her color guide is one of our go-to LEGO references here at BrickNerd, and you can follow her on Flickr, Instagram and Patreon. A Wall of Parts and Colors Two copies of this set were provided to me by The LEGO Group. All opinions are my own. January 2026 brought us several new LEGO Botanicals sets, and here’s yet another one! 11503 Flower Wall, releasing February 1st, feels like a real flagship model for the theme this season, with a great variety of flowers and display potential. Although it’s not the first set to include the two new colors for 2026 (430 Warm Pink and 431 Blue Violet), it does feature them heavily, with several new recolored parts. As a MOC builder myself, I tend to look at sets primarily as parts packs,...

We’re in the middle of the darkest time of the year here in the Nordics. What could be a better way to liven up your day than building some colorful flowers? I have been given the opportunity to look at four of the latest sets from the LEGO Botanical theme: 11508 Daisies, 133 pieces 11509 Flowering Cactus, 482 pieces 11504 Peace Lily, 474 pieces 11501 Tulip Bouquet, 576 pieces My relationship with the botanical sets before this review is quite positive. I have built 10311 Orchid and 10309 Succulents before, and I was very pleased with those. I like how the Botanical sets use regular LEGO to resemble somewhat common house plants.  I decided to revisit the format of classic reviews here on BrickNerd from the before times with Nerdly scores out of five. So let’s take a look at the new sets, starting with the smallest. 11508 Daisies, 9+, 133...
