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 April 2025.
TBB NEWS AND REVIEWS This week saw the announcement of a new twist on the Marvel collectible display front with scaled-down bust models of two iconic Marvel characters, Iron Man and Spiderman (also of the iron variety). These smaller versions of popular characters seem to be a sign of LEGO learning from past mistakes like the oversized and overpriced Black Panther bust.
