Best of BrickNerd - Article originally published October 17, 2022. A common gripe among AFOLs of a certain age is that the instructions have been way oversimplified. “When I was a kid a whole castle had less than 50 steps!” (6074 Black Falcon’s Fortress had 36 and 6077 Forestmen’s River Fortress had 22—OK more of a tower but still). While building the recent Gift With Purchase (GWP) set 40567 Forest Hideout, I was pondering this complaint. Especially when assembling the cut-out doorway and remembering this step being frustrating as a kid—and it is still fiddly and frustrating! One of my binders of saved instructions! Since 40567 is a direct remake of 6054 Forestmen’s Hideout, I thought a comparison of the instructions might be interesting. I still have the instructions to 6054 as my dad cut them apart and covered many of my early instructions in clear contact paper. Thankfully for everyone else,...

Earlier today, LEGO posted a new LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog teaser for their production line of the 2024 sets and they have also showed an image of some of the new minifigures coming soon. On the bottom right corner of the video, there are minifigures of Rogue, Knuckles, and Shadow which we should be seeing in next year’s sets.

I like sorting. It’s a soothing exercise (very unlike rewriting an article in Squarespace after not hitting save and hitting the backspace button). It’s calming, peaceful, and uses just the right amount of finger power while leaving brain power free to meditate on life’s joys and sorrows. It’s fortunate that I like sorting because I keep finding new collections to sort. So before we get started, let me walk you through The History and Times of Sorting LEGO Bricks According to Geneva. Then vs now My first sorting article was a time capsule of the collection I grew up with. The collection was sorted piecemeal as it came along. I started with a color-based sorting method, then went part-sorting crazy (did I really need Tile, Modified 1x2 with Bar Handle taking up a whole container?). Overall, the sorting method was patchy. Are wedges slopes or plates? Who thought sorting SNOT bricks...
