Ah, the influencer. A much-maligned – sometimes unfairly so – mainstay of modern social media. Although I don’t know much about LEGO influencers, I do know about some influential LEGO builders; namely, Nick Jensen. And he has turned his talented hand to… Well, a brick-built influencer! (These articles aren’t just thrown together, you know!) This social media savant’s pose gives her so much character, and it’s not hard to picture what that selfie she’s taking will look like. Front and centre of the piece is a great use of a particular LEGO part, though. A cupcake holder – seen in a couple of Dots sets – makes for a fantastic miniskirt! href=”https://www.flickr.com/photos/nickjensen/53930483696/in/pool-lego/”> The post Building under the influence(r) appeared first on The Brothers Brick.

Can’t pick just one big-budget sci-fi franchise in which plucky insurgents strike back against an evil from the stars? Now you don’t have to. Moptoptrev‘s “Neytiri’s First Space Flight” blends the aerial rides of choice from both Avatar and Star Wars in vivid color. The LEGO creation is part machine, part creature, and all deadly. Even without the Avatar additions, the color scheme makes for a visually stunning X-wing, but the banshee parts take it to a whole new level. The craft’s signature S-foils have been replaced by banshee wings, and the laser cannons are now banshee heads. The largest head forms the nose of the living starfighter. I don’t know how all those heads work together, but one thing’s for sure: if you’re a bad guy, this is one thing you don’t want to see in your rearview mirror.

Although it likely falls foul of a few OSHA or health & safety regulations, it can’t be denied that the Burrow – home of the Weasleys in the Harry Potter books and movies – leaves a lasting impression with its ramshackle vibe. Having been in a handful of playsets, LEGO is now seeing fit to release an upgraded version of this rickety residence. 76437 The Burrow – Collector’s Edition will hit shelves just in time for Back to Hogwarts day, i.e. this September 1st, for US $259.99 | CAN $339.99 | UK £219.99. That price nets you the 2,405 pieces required to build the Burrow, but between its release and September 10 it will also qualify LEGO Insiders for some additional gifts with purchase (GWPs). Chief among these is 40695 Borgin and Burkes: Floo Network, which includes a Lucius Malfoy figure and is available if you spend US $130 | CAN...

She was a high-town girl, raised in comfort. He lived in low-town, busking for coin. She hears a hum on the whispering wind. Could it be love? All that keeps these two apart is a short flight of stairs. Tomasz Bartoszek captures this romantic moment in LEGO with a scene that is packed with medieval detail and incredible parts usage. The brickwork throughout features some lovely SNOT (studs not on top) techniques, especially on that heavy wall through which the staircase rises. My favorite details are the large door that uses gaps between bricks to look like wooden planks, and the slate roof that integrates capes for a truly ramshackle look. The distinct colors and building techniques for the high and low towns make this scene of star-crossed lovers really shine. Tomasz’  build won the runner up spot in the 2024 Summer Joust Competition “Stairway Tales” category. The post Love is...
