We’re all familiar with the loveable LEGO minifigure, right? And some recent sets and creations have also brought us the big-fig, whether from Harry Potter, Castle, or even a generic theme. But what about the minifigure representation on a medium scale? Donny Chen introduces us to a fresh-baked midi-scale LEGO figure with his delicious gingerbread man.

Three years ago, we relaunched BrickNerd to celebrate the creativity of fellow LEGO builders, tell the stories behind the bricks, share in-depth knowledge of the hobby, and increase connections within the LEGO community. Each year, we are amazed by the reception to all our hard work, so today, we wanted to share with you the numbers of what we’ve achieved in 2023 and some of our New Year’s resolutions for what we want to accomplish in 2024. Looking Back Taking a step back, wow, so much happened for BrickNerd in 2023! We witnessed the birth, death and re-birth of Mega-Nerdly. We organized gatherings at half a dozen LEGO conventions. Our readership grew considerably and spent more time on the site than ever before.
