If you didn’t know, DK has recently released the LEGO Minifigure A Visual History: Updated and Expanded which includes an exclusive Blacktron minifigure. The minifigure itself is more detailed with the Blacktron logo now printed on the torso and legs which is slightly different than the ones found in the LEGO Icons Blacktron Renegade (10355). Retailing for $40, the 304 page book has been updated since the last one from 2020 and it features over 2,500 LEGO minifigures from various themes.

Let me be upfront: The Nightmare Before Christmas isn’t my cup of tea. But I respect it. And there’s no denying it’s captured the hearts of fans across the world. And, I have to admit, I find this Jack Skellington sleigh by Kalais to be a delightful blend of Halloween and Christmas aesthetics. The giant bone runners, the mausoleum-like back structure, the jack-o-lanterns lighting the way. Is it based off of something from the movie? I don’t remember. And it doesn’t matter. The charm of it all has scared the Scrooge right out of me. The post Slay Bells Ring… appeared first on The Brothers Brick. Original linkOriginal author: Norm Harper

Chugging along with our reviews of the LEGO Wicked sets, the next one we’ll be checking out is Emerald City & Kiamo Ko Castle (75689). The set has 860 pieces and retails for $89.99. Minidolls There are only two minidolls in the set which are Glinda and Elphaba. Glinda is technically a unique minidoll although the torso is the same one as in the Munchkinland set but she has the thinner dress piece instead of the larger one. Her accessory is a book of Oz that is filled with tables of spells. Elphaba also looks the same as from the Munchkinland set except that the torso uses metallic silver and gold. She still has the shoulderpad piece like before. Her accessories include her broom and the Grimmerie. Build The build features minibuilds of the Emerald City and Kiamo Ko Castle from what LEGO describes as the ending of Wicked: For Good...

In addition to the amazing LEGO models created by builders worldwide, The Brothers Brick brings you the best LEGO news and reviews. This is our weekly Brick Report for the 2nd week of September 2025.TBB NEWS AND REVIEWS Wow, we have a lot of news to catch up on, since many of our TTB contributors were busy at Seattle’s BrickCon 2025 last weekend, where we hosted a fun collaborative display of a Steampunk-themed world’s fair. LEGO announced the very first $1,000 set, the Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series Death Star (referred to by many as the Death Slice). Also, a wave of holiday-themed LEGO sets was revealed (is it just me, or do they launch these sets earlier every year?). On top of all that, we got a new take on LEGO sets inspired by the natural world with the reveal of the new LEGO Ideas Mineral Collection. For another dose...

A lot of people ask me how to take good photos of their LEGO MOCs, which I generally respond with, “What good photos!?” I am definitely not one of the best LEGO photographers out there—I don’t have a lot of good, or even recent, equipment (my camera is dying, please support my gofundme!) But I do kinda know the basics, a lot of which was taught by my brother and what I learned along the way with the many people in the community helping. Hopefully as we all grew up, we got better at taking photos. Polaroid Land Camera OneStep - Nick Jensen - harkens back to the old film days It’s not overly hard to learn how to take good photos. I have a friend who I won’t name (guess in comments!) who took pretty basic pictures and set out to learn how to take better photos. In a couple...
