You’d probably expect a lot of the posts on a LEGO website like The Brothers Brick to be about LEGO, and you’d be right. If you’re browsing this page, you might want to consider narrowing what you’re looking for by checking out categories like “Space” and “Castle.” We’re sure there’s something here that’ll fascinate and amaze you.

A Millenni-YUM Falcon

Summer is here, and everyone loves a juicy slice of watermelon to help beat the heat, even in a galaxy far, far away. So Maxx Davidson is helping deliver that treat to the furthest reaches of space with this fresh take on a classic Star Wars ship. Maxx has made perfect use of various shades of green to capture the look of the melon rind, and those diamond tiles as seeds on the front mandibles are inspired. But my favorite detail is the round fruit slice tile serving as the cockpit window. Delicious.

Every Pride Habitat is Awesome [Feature]

In celebration of Pride month, Two Gay AFOLs and the gayfols community hosted a habitat challenge asking builders to create a stack of three LGBTQ+ themed minifig habitats. The results are truly inspiring in the many ways the theme was interpreted and for the outpouring of joy and support within the LEGO community. Here are a few of our favorite stacks from the challenge.

The Big Block made from little bricks

Fresh off the heels of the great review of the new LEGO Shelby Cobra, we get another delivery from Firas Abu-Jaber, the third-generation Chevrolet Big Block Camaro. From the detailed guest review that Firas delivered, the amount of effort and detail provided to this Camaro should come as no surprise. While Firas calls out the love and effort put into the engine, for me, it’s the headlights that make the build shine. Those 80’s headlights are essential to the design of the third-gen Camaro, and they are exquisitely done.

Be sure to take a full walk around the Camaro in Firas’ gallery.

A lean, clean green machine

The Aston Martin Valkyrie was an on again/off again store for endurance racing. But, with a successful completion of the 24 Hours of Le Mans this month, SFH_Bricks has made sure the Valkyrie will live in a permanent “on” status. With a mix of bright-green, dark-green and lime, SFH brings the Valkyrie to life in Speed Champions scale. Now we just need to hear the 12-cylinder engine howl.

This gargoyle has gone from grotesque to gorgeous!

By many accounts, gargoyles were installed on the sides of buildings to ward off evil spirits and demons. That makes them heroes, despite their somewhat scary looks. But as Magmafrost13 demonstrates, throw a pink skirt on a monster and suddenly the scariness makes way for cuteness. Kind of. I have to admit, all I’m imagining is an anime in which a bunch of gargoyles have to learn to ward off a series of demons through the power of friendship, love, and togetherness. Magmafrost13, I have an idea for a pitch…

Make medieval time to tour Ben Hauger’s towering LEGO castle creations

98283, Brick, Modified 1 x 2 with Masonry Profile. In our house, we call it a “brick brick.” And Ben Hauger uses it perfectly. Its use is spread out and in two different colors, giving a wonderful pattern to the castle. Given that the “brick brick” is my wife’s favorite piece, how appropriate that the Falcon’s Roost castle is said to be the Lady’s keep. Be sure to fully zoom in on this photo to enjoy all of the part usage, from the minifig handcuffs in the coat of arms, to the growing vines and tiled rooftops.

Ben’s castle creations are always big endeavors and spectacular to study, so it’s a rare treat that we get two new builds in one week. Ben’s dragon–or wyvern–flies above a falling knight. A beautifully structured dragon over a wonderful rock cropping.

Rolling up on a raid with your best goblin buddies

You know that feeling when you and your homies all pull up somewhere in matching drip and you feel like you could take on the world? That’s the vibe I’m getting from Eero Okkonen‘s trio of goblin buddies. They look absolutely rad, and full of character. Van-Gug in the middle is definitely the broody leader of the group – they organised this meet-up in the first place. On the left, that is – for want of a better word – the group clown, Bragg. There’s an opportunity to do something wild? They’re in on it. And they’re egged on by the behatted Kargas on the right. Yeah, they might be a little shy, but they still crack the funniest jokes out of nowhere. And you’d best believe they’ve all got each other’s backs with those big swords.

Gayle Spiller to the Dark Tower came, erecting a brilliant monument in LEGO to Stephen King’s masterpiece

Stephen King has authored so many unforgettable works about relatable good folk reckoning with true evil, from horror classics like It and The Shining to more grounded works like The Green Mile and Mr. Mercedes. But for many fans (myself included!) King’s masterwork is the Dark Tower cycle, a sprawling fantasy/horror/western epic written over 30 years. I first discovered the book as a teenager, drawn in by the incredible and evocative Michael Whelan illustrations. It was a world I longed to see more of… but sadly, the first movie adaptation was a huge miss. When I saw that Gayle Spiller, the amazing LEGO house masterpiece alum with a maximalist building style, had tackled the Dark Tower in bricks, I knew we were in for a treat, but I wasn’t prepared for such a detailed tribute to King’s universe.

Gayle captures the eldritch horror of the tower itself surrounded by the beautiful Can’-Ka No Rey filed of roses. She captures the beams that support the tower, each connected to its spirit animal. There’s an Unfound Door to take you between worlds. And even a sly reference to the lobstrosities that cost Roland some fingers. Of course the Ka-Tet is all here, a group bound by fate.

The palaver goes on with additional pictures and thankee sai

This Week in LEGO Bricks: Bio-Cup beasts, Rolli rodents, and Star Wars scenery [Feature]

Every week, there are more amazing MOCs and builder stories than we can cover, which is why we’re so grateful to welcome back ABrickDreamer‘s This Week in Bricks series. And what a busy week it’s been, especially as we have our hands full herding all the animal heroes scurrying in for Delving Day. Sit back, grab a few bricks for table scraps, and enjoy the show!

Friendly Snails are sliding your way as the next LEGO Gift with Purchase [News]

Today LEGO revealed a new Gift With Purchase (GWP) arriving on July 1, 2025:
LEGO Ideas 40788 Friendly Snails. GWPs are always a welcome bonus when buying new bricks, but occasionally a free set comes along that’s so special it has you looking for things to add to your shopping cart just for the bonus set. As a fan of the outdoors, Friendly Snails is that kind of set for me – a fun little nature build that’s perfect for display with unique printed parts. Kudos to fan designer Maxime for this winning display.

Here’s what the LEGO Ideas team has to say about this cute set.

We’re so excited to reveal the LEGO® Ideas 40788 Friendly Snails, which was dreamed up in our ‘Build the Gift of Purchase Set of your Dreams‘ Challenge in 2024. The original submission was uploaded as ‘The Autumn Snails‘ in the challenge by LEGO Ideas Fan Designer Jagamax, also known as Maxime!

This GWP set is a garden creatures display-model gift designed with adult fans of nature and animals in mind. The build-and-display set features 2 snails with decorated shells, a bee, log, rock, puddle and greenery. The scene is assembled on a single sturdy base that allows the whole set to be safely picked up and moved. To increase options for display, the snails can be detached and placed beyond the set’s base.

This LEGO Gift With Purchase set will be available on July 1st, and added to your cart on LEGO.com with a minimum purchase of €160 / $160 USD. The set availability and full details of the promotion are available at LEGO.com.

Coincidentally, the eligibility threshold matches perfectly with the Minifigure Vending Machine, should you need a recommendation.

Getting deep into Bionicle lore with the Bio-Cup

The Bio-Cup, as the name suggests, challenges builders to make creative use of parts from LEGO’s beloved Bionicle theme. This theme covered a lot of ground, so it’s easy to draw comparisons between MOCs and sets, but Margit‘s latest reminds me of some of my favourite Bionicle villains. The underwater-dwelling Barraki were very reminiscent of some of the strange aquatic creatures you might see in the ocean deep. Creatures that have a certain ghostly quality. Which makes them perfect for Margit’s chosen sub-theme for this round of the Bio-Cup: Ghost/Wraith! See, it all comes full circle.

Margit’s spectral spectacle won her category in round 1. We can’t wait to see what she comes up for in Round 2!
