LEGO Marvel 76314 Captain America: Civil War Action Battle – Which side wins?

When LEGO Marvel 76314 Captain America: Civil War Action Battle first debuted on the LEGO website, I was immediately struck by two thoughts. First, that’s definitely an entire Ant-Man construction figure contained within this set. And second, I remember the similar 2016 set LEGO Marvel 76051 Super Hero Airport Battle to be an amazing one. Releasing on January 1st, 2025, and containing 736 pieces, LEGO Marvel 76314 Captain America: Civil War Action Battle retails for US $99.99 | CAN $129.99 | UK £89.99. With so many existing sets to compare to, how will this new CA:CW battle scene hold up?

LEGO Marvel 76313 MARVEL Logo & Minifigures – A LEGO logo of a different kind [Review]

Since 2012, we’ve seen so many adaptations of Marvel icons from the MCU in LEGO form. But there’s one star, an icon that appears in every movie and on every comic book cover, that hasn’t appeared in brick-built form until now: the Marvel logo. We’ll dig into the 931-piece LEGO Marvel 76313 MARVEL Logo & Minifigures, checking out everything this superpowered display piece has to offer. And if, at the end, you want to pick one up for yourself, it’ll release on January 1st, 2025 for US $99.99 | CAN $129.99 | UK £89.99. But will this set be the hero or the villain? Let’s find out!

You can find all the parts you’ll need for the TBB Advent Event from our announcement in November. Read on to see what we’re building today!

With a half-dozen days down, see what we’re building today!

Crash Bandicoot goes bananas for LEGO!

Sonic and Mario have shown that LEGO and video game mascots are a perfect match. While Sony Playstation doesn’t have a definitive mascot, there was a time when Crash Bandicoot nearly took the honors. DW_Builds pays tribute to the dashing hero with a model so apeeling it could only have been created for the New Elementary “Mind that Banana” contest. The builder takes advantage of the new banana colors found in the Botanicals Chrysanthemum set for Crash’s wild hair and comically gaping mouth. Jumbo macaroni tubes make up Crash’s curved torso and loping legs, while minifig arms serve as expressive eyebrows. These days Crash is more of a retro mascot than a vital part of gaming culture. Still, given the success of gaming IP in cinemas lately, maybe Sony will try and bring him into the live-action world with actor Timothée Chalamet providing mocap and Jack Black phoning it in as Dr. Neo Cortex.

Hoo-HOO wants a wise winter friend?

This year, when not expanding on the epic Middle Eastern fantasy land of Mophet or setting sail with the Black Falcons, Andreas Lenander has had birds on the brain. Just in time for winter, the Swedish builder shares his third whimsically designed LEGO bird: this snowy owl. Like Andreas’ fall owl, this one incorporates foliage and tail elements into the plumage, but this time it’s the eyes that fascinate from a ring of Unikitty tails. In a year that’s seen so many amazing owl builds, Andreas still finds ways to innovate!

2024 TBB Custom LEGO Advent Calendar – Day 5 [Feature]

The floor is done, so what comes next with day 5?

Draconis Scyphozoa – a jellyfish-inspired dragon

LEGO phenom Joss Ivanwood has been building a dragon every month in 2024; Year of the Dragon in case you’re wondering why. It turns out, eleven months into the year, this jellyfish-inspired dragon marks the first instance of creative block. It’s quite understandable, trying to design a dragon based on a jellyfish; I imagine there were several iterations of this magnificent beast, several head-scratching moments and maybe sleepless nights. But the end result is probably my favorite of the entire line. I mean, look at those tendrils made from legions of clips and that arching transparent bell. It’s proof that something can be deadly and beautiful all at the same time. Joss tells us that while he’s aware that jellyfish don’t have brains, he couldn’t resist including the new brain creature piece from the Mindflayer D&D minifigure. That’s a smart use for that brain piece!

2024 LEGO Advent Calendars, Day 5 [Feature]

It’s only day five of the annual TBB LEGO Advent Calendar marathon and Kyle has eaten the last of the cookies. With six calendars to open each day – Friends and Disney, City and Harry Potter, Star Wars and Spider-Man – our jolly engines are running on overdrive. We’ll need new strategies to make it to the South Pole in time for Christmas. Wait, that’s a different Endurance challenge… Focus, team. We have gifts to assemble!

LEGO Steampunk “Swallow” takes to the skies!

“L’hirondelle,” a mighty LEGO creation by Gus (aka Faëbricks), is the fastest vessel in the Royal Navy. Its name is French for “The Swallow,” a bird known for its ability to feed mid-flight, so what better name for an airship in search of prey? Mighty wind turbines and a streamlined hull (love the hidden rowboats giving it the curved shape) work with the elongated balloon to keep the airship aloft and stalking the skies. Its crew are hard at work, having repurposed Fremen stillsuit masks as breathing apparatuses in the thin air. I also love the cannon on the gear swivel, ready to unleash hell in any lateral direction. There’s also that wicked-looking blade at the prow, ready to poke holes in anybody who comes too close. All in all, it’s not an airship I’d want to mess with.
