New LEGO Set Shopping Guide
Our October pick of the month is the Game Boy. This compact build is a near-perfect 1:1 recreation of the landmark gaming handheld and is constructed using complex techniques that will make you appreciate LEGO geometry. Better yet, with the exception of the game cartridge covers, all graphics are printed, and the interchangeable lenticular screens Continue reading →
Behold Karak-Mahizrinul, a massive Dwarven Stronghold built in LEGO
Grab your preferred hammer or axe, a pint of ale, and join us on a tour of this Dwarven sanctuary nestled within the Red Mountains. Dwalin Forkbeard brought this imposing mountain fortress to life, and nearly every chamber and foothill of it is bustling with Dwarven activity. The faces chiseled into the very face of Continue reading →
LEGO x Fashion – a theme in the making?
We’ve seen so much creativity in how minifigs can be customized, from creative use of existing parts, to custom printed minifig torsos, to third-party cloth accessories, to hand-crocheted minifig coats! But for fashionistas, there’s only so much that can be done at minifig scale. Recent buildable figure sets for Wednesday and Wicked offer a new Continue reading →
Lino rounds up the classic vehicles that put him on the LEGO automotive map [Feature]
It must be a slow news week as TBB’s own Lino Martins (@lino_martins_artist) digs up the vault of his own classic LEGO rides.
The Mighty Mythological Minotaur
Inspired by Wes Talbott’s ‘Dungeon Dangers’ template and series of MOCs (see those fantastic sets here), TBB alum turned fellow set designer Carter Baldwin set out to make his own dungeon crawl with an ancient Greek mythological twist. The color choices and contrast are stunning, and the assembly behind the stark blue decorations on the Continue reading →
October 2025 New LEGO Sets Available Now [News]
It’s a stacked month of releases with sets for every taste, from geodes to Gizmos to game consoles to giant death slices! We found a lot to like in this month’s offerings (even if the trend of more big-ticket releases has us questioning who has shelf space to keep up). If you’re looking to add Continue reading →
The most compact Game Boy yet!
Over the course of 20+ years, Nintendo released a number of Game Boy models – but none as tiny as this. Pending the release of the official LEGO Game Boy set, builder mc tung shared his micro Game Boy that puts the original Game Boy Micro to shame. It’s an impressive feat at this scale, though I doubt any of us who were around for the original Game Boy are playing anything on a screen this small these days. The technic axle D-pad is especially inspired!
Stained glass from cheese slopes? Yes, please.
There’s something magical about creating stained glass in LEGO with transparent colors. We see many techniques for creating patterns in “glass,” but one of the most reliable is using a 1x2x3 window frame to hold 8 cheese slopes. GothGirlBricks uses this technique and adds a beautiful spin by including black slopes as negative space to create Continue reading →
Making magic with mind-bending custom minfigs [Minifig Monday]
Last week’s grab bag installment of Minifig Monday was a lot of fun, but today we return to themed roundups. Specifically, we’re looking at wizards and warlocks and their sorcerous kindred – but the real magic is in the creative use of parts to push the boundaries of minifig creation! We start this magical Monday Continue reading →
One of LEGO fandom’s biggest collabs gets shrunk with New Microshima
Since its debut at Brickworld Chicago in 2023, the New Hashima collab has gone viral, spawning new incarnations at LEGO events around the world. (You can learn more about its origins here.) Builder Toltomeja provided cubes (the modular format from which the city is built) at Bricking Bavaria in 2023 and 2024. Now Toltomeja fuses the cyberpunk city with their talent for microscale with this stunning tribute to 2024 iteration. At 64×64 studs, it’s quite massive for “micro,” but that’s what it took to showcase the contributions of more than 50 builders.
After appearing in North America and Europe, New Hashima spread to Australia this year with New Hashima Down Under. Follow @newhashimacollab to find out if a version of the cyberpunk city is cooming to a LEGO convention near you, or learn how to get involved.
Take a sec to admire this tech
