NPU galore in this stunning fantasy scene
We’re stumped as to how @yr_bricks made this tree truck cottage look so amazing. There must be a little bit of magic at work.

A LEGO villa as soft as watercolors
LEGO bricks may be rigid and angular, but somehow Sophie (@balula.brick.builder) manages to make them look like watercolors in this incredible island villa. The house is charming with surprisingly intricate brickwork used for the plastered white walls and thin brown frame making the subtly shaped windows and door pop. The landscaping is so soothing with the mix of sand green and nougat. Custom lighting elements make the scenic villa even more inviting. TFOL Sophie only just started sharing builds this summer. Be sure to give her a follow to see what she builds next!
This amazing LEGO scene will leave you stranded
The warped mind of Hideo Kojima has created some incredible games. Just in time for the release of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, builder @carecreations_ shows how perfect Kojima’s world is for LEGO. The vignette is dense with details from the game – we especially love the minifig trophy used for the breach baby!
Celebrate Talk Like a Pirate Day with these miniature LEGO ships
With LEGO releasing so many large-scale sets of late, many builders have taken to crafting “the version I can afford” micro-sized alternatives. Joe Lam has made a few such tiny builds lately. We loved his mini Balrog Book Nook, but this chibi Going Merry from One Piece might be his cutest microbuild yet. The cornice Continue reading →
Brickbot gits gud and builds a silky brick Hornet that sings
The much-anticipated Hollow Knight: Silksong is out and inspiring more builders to create LEGO models of Team Cherry’s beautiful insectoid world. @brickbot_studio comes in early with a build of protagonist Hornet done in his signature brickbot style. The MVP element are the claw modules used for Hornet’s antennae and pointed feet, but Brennen’s secret weapons are the uncannily perfect stickers used for Hornet’s eyes, taken from the Koenigsegg Jesko Speed Champions set.
The blocking dead usher in the zombie apocalypse in LEGO
After a two-year building hiatus, Turkish AFOL Metin Delikurt returns with his most ambitious creation to date – a sprawling diorama of a town beset by zombies. Featuring eight full-size buildings in varying states of decay, multiple vehicles, and dozens of zombies and survivors, its a truly epic LEGO look at a world where the Continue reading →

Check out our special coverage of the month-long building challenge where you have to build a spaceship measuring at least 100 studs in any dimension.
Where minifig babies come from
Taking your work home with you isn’t always the best idea, but that’s especially true if you work as a Labor and Delivery nurse. @storybricking finds a loophole in LEGO and recreates her workplace in bricks. The builder recreates all of the equipment and essential tools of the delivery trade – I love all the spare gloves ready for the staff. LEGO has released a number of hospitals as part of the city line, but it’s a theme that has yet to make its way into an adult set. Would you want a hospital or clinic to add to your modular city?

LEGO Ideas 21361 Gizmo – Mogwai in the Spotlight [Review]
This October, LEGO is releasing two very different Ideas sets. We previously took a look at the Mineral Collection (it rocks), and today we’re dimming the lights and putting together LEGO Ideas 21361 Gizmo. If you’ve ever wanted to adopt a Mogwai without risking a midnight snack disaster, this buildable Gizmo set is your safest bet! I’m V (@Minifiguring.It.Out on Instagram) and I’m a child of the 80s who remembers when Gizmo was as beloved and ubiquitous as Labubus are right now! Put on the Gremlins Rag and come along as we unlock the secrets of this Mogwai.
Even Raven Knights get the blues
The black and gold Raven Knights exist only as a single collectible minifigure from 2020, but that hasn’t stopped Classic Castle fans from imagining a bigger world for this elusive faction. @evanceltlego broke out the fancy sand blue and dark blue bricks to craft their home. Bluestone Castle might look like a simple rectangle at first glance, but it’s actually a trapezoidal design that uses “brick bending” to add a subtle angle to the corners. If you’re wondering how you missed out on the Raven Knight horse barding, that’s an unofficial part. But wouldn’t it be nice to have more accessories for this faction? lease, LEGO, bring back the ravens!
