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 July 2025.
TBB NEWS AND REVIEWS We feasted on LEGO Star Wars last week, with a bunch of new sets announced, including the highly anticipated AT-ST UCS set that looks to add tons of great details to the classic chicken walker. This week, we get a robot from another franchise, the latest Transformer to join the lineup. Soundwave and his two cassette tape pets were one of those toys that I played with so much that I broke both of the mini-bots from repeated transforming. And while K2-SO may not be the droids the Empire was looking for, He has been eagerly awaited since the Disney+ series Andor brought so many characters from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story back to mind. Still hungry for more LEGO news? Sink yer teeth into last week’s Brick Report for a tasty snack.
