We ring out 2025 with LEGO phenom Paul Hetherington to catch a whiff of greatness- and maybe Old Spice [Interview]

Paul Hetherington seems on top of the world right now, so I reached out to see if he’d be game for an interview. He said, ”Hey, Lino, that would be amazing! It would be an honor to be interviewed by my favorite interviewer. Now that Barbara Walters is gone, we need more decisive journalism to clog up the internet.” With that said, let’s soften the lights and get our decisive journalism on. Sit back, relax- and you might want to mix yourself a good, strong Tiki drink for this one.

Miscellanabuilds and CRCT Productions talk Iron Builder as the latest round comes to an end [Interview]

Season 7, Round 8 of the prestigious Iron Builder competition with the seed part of flower bell in light blue has come to a close. In the building battle between defending champion Eann “Miscellanabuilds” McCurdy and challenger Drew “CRCT Productions” Cazenave-Tapie, the judges were split 2-1 in favor of Eann. Even though only one builder can claim the Iron Builder title this round, both participants shared incredible creations. In addition to sharing all of the entries from this round, we spoke with both builders about their experience.

TBB’s best and worst sets of 2025 [Feature]

We at the Brothers Brick got through quite a lot of LEGO this year. We had 81 reviews penned by both in-house and guest writers, and that’s not even counting the sets we bought of our own volition! As you know, we’re an opinionated bunch. We all have our favourites: LEGO kits that wowed us with new parts, interesting techniques, or just downright charm. On the other hand, you can’t win them all, and there were a fair few duds this year too. We’ve listed some of our picks for both categories below. Agree or disagree? Tell us in the comments! What were your most and least favourite sets from 2025?

Let’s get the bad out the way first, shall we?

Our Boxing Day chat with Moptoptrev – Canada’s busiest, weirdest, and most joyful builder [Interview]

At the Brothers Brick, we’re always on the lookout for fun builds that we think bring joy to a larger LEGO audience. During 2025, scarcely a week went by (or a day during peak holiday periods) when we weren’t delighted by a new creation from Trevor Pearson-Jones, who builds under the name moptoptrev. Trevor’s works take inspiration from the natural world, pop culture, and his home in the Great White North, all filtered through a kaleidoscope of color and whimsy. As one of our most featured builders this year, we couldn’t let 2025 slip away without getting to know more about what makes Trevor tick.

From Blacktron to bot bands – Talking bricks and ships with rubblemaker_lego [Interview]

Here at the Brothers Brick, we love a good spaceship (almost as much as Benny). Builder Steve Marsh, aka Rubblemaker, has created many of our favorite LEGO spaceships over the years, especially his distinctive starfighters based on Classic Space themes. Steve was nice enough to sit down with us to reflect on his shipbuilding journey.
