As the days get longer and the flowers begin to bloom, LEGO botanicals continue to blossom in popularity, captivating the imaginations of seasoned builders and newcomers alike. Here at BrickNerd, we're celebrating the first day of spring in the best way we know how—by showcasing a stunning new art piece by talented Korean LEGO artist, Jiwoo Seon. Her intricate creation beautifully captures the essence of the season with a remarkable display of LEGO flowers. I had the privilege of meeting Dong Min Seon (who chooses to go by Jiwoo Seon in the LEGO community) at the Japan Brick Festival in 2023 and was happy to have the chance to catch up! Inez: Hi Jiwoo! Thanks so much for taking the time to chat. To kick things off, I'd love to hear your LEGO story. How did you first get hooked on building with bricks? Jiwoo: Hi. My name is Jiwoo Seon....

This month, we’re hosting the AdoraBuild contest here at BrickNerd, and for those who might be having a hard time getting into building cute things, I figured it was a good time to give you a bit of help. After posting my Baby Greeble Mech Suit, we have received quite a few requests for instructions, so I figured I’d share them with you all! But… this wouldn’t be BrickNerd without diving deeper into the topic and looking into: LEGO BABIES. Oh, wait… I already did that… okay, let’s talk about the other thing: GREEBLES. But what are greebles, you wonder? This wonderfully sci-fi technique coined by ILM uses lots of small LEGO parts to add detail and texture to a MOC. But what makes a greeble good? I reached out to some of the “greeble greats” to ask. (Even I was surprised at some of the responses from our Greeble Technical...

Welcome back to Belville! In case you forgot, Belville is the LEGO “ghost town” that “boomed” from 1994 to 2009 and from whose ashes Heartlake City emerged. (In other words, it was the fifteen-year LEGO line designed to attract “the girl market” before Friends.) We previously explored Belville dolls and how they fit in the LEGO figure universe. Belville is a weird and wonderful place. This month, we are going all the way down the Belville rabbit hole to the bedrock - the baseplate! - and building up the foundation from there. (Random side note before we begin: Speaking of “bedrock,” the citizens of Belville seem to be obsessed with beds. Is Belville a land of sleep disorders? Belville manages to hide beds almost everywhere - even in the pony stable! I don’t remember seeing so many beds in LEGO city… …but that's a different rabbit hole. I digress.) A Bevy...

Today the LEGO Group unveiled the #21348 LEGO Ideas Dungeons & Dragons: Red Dragon’s Tale set, a fan-designed brick representation of the iconic table-top game.

I know that fans of LEGO Castle are highly interested in the #10332 LEGO Icons Medieval Town Square, including myself. I don’t have the set yet, as it will take me a while to save up for it (like many of you), however, JANGBRiCKS published a full review of the set on his YouTube channel […]Original linkOriginal author: Thita (admin)
