The NPU on this ballista by @ten.dinosaurs hits the bullseye. We love the use of gears and paint rollers to craft a machine that looks functional at such a small scale. But mostly we’re head over heals for those helmets as wheels.
The Phantom-X is a LEGO Mech built like only @marco_debon can build them.
Check out our interview with Marco celebrating 10 years of building:

[VB]’s latest build looks a little like a wildflower…and we mean it’s really WILD.
Friendshiptember is that wonderful time of the year where builders of all experience levels come together to create a ship (space, sky, or seafaring, all are fine!) inspired by the colors and minidolls of LEGO Friends. With another successful Friendshiptember in the rear view mirror, we rounded up some of our favorite entries to share. Continue reading →
Stewart Lamb Cromar is one of the nicest AFOLs you could ever hope to meet, and I was lucky to get to see the builder and his latest MOC at Skærbæk Fan Weekend last month. The creation, Milk and Cookies, of course features Stewart’s favorite theme – Fabuland – but rather than taking place at Continue reading →
Hollow Knight: Silksong is the rare game that delivers on the hype, blending beautiful worldbuilding with brutal difficulty. Protagonist Hornet and the bug-like denizens of Pharloom have inspired an outpouring of fan models from the LEGO community. Here are some of our favorites! Fresh off his incredible series of Hollow Knight builds, Joss Ivanwood begins climbing Continue reading →
Barad-Dûr, seat of Sauron’s power, is known more by reputation than by first-hand accounts in The Lord of the Rings. Tolkien describes it as “wall upon wall, battlement upon battlement, black, immeasurably strong, mountain of iron, gate of steel, tower of adamant.” Peter Jackson’s films made Barad-Dûr an iconic on-screen presence with the fiery eye Continue reading →
The Dark Knight continues his hot streak as LEGO announces four new Batman sets releasing on March 1, 2025 – Three new Batmobiles at a scale similar to Speed Champions, and a bat logo. The sets draw on different eras of the Batman movie franchise and connect to the LEGO Batman – Legacy of the Dark Knight video game, with each set containing an unlock code for an exclusive golden variant in-game. In celebration of 20 years of LEGO Batman, each set also includes a printed gold tile.
Our friends at Umbasa LUG host monthly challenges focused on minifigs and dark fantasy. For September, the community tried something a little different, challenging builders to create not just characters but a brick-built vignette of between 10-16 studs on each side. The Brothers Brick sponsored this month’s contest, providing a copy of Windmill Village Hut Continue reading →
There are few subjects I enjoy seeing in LEGO as much as trees, from the single-mold pine trees in vintage sets to the enormous redwoods of Sequoia Tree Trail. I never cease to be amazed by the creative ways that AFOLs find to make decidedly organic branches and bark out of plastic bricks. At Skærbæk fan Continue reading →
LEGO might not have released a stand-alone Space theme since 2013’s Galaxy Squad, but the spirit of space exploration lives on as a sub-theme of City. Two years of great sets have introduced new uniforms, personal mechs, and swooshable ships with an aesthetic closer to Interstellar than retro sci-fi. At last month’s IDS Brickworld, long-time Continue reading →
We never get tired of seeing new additions to the Frogust lineup, even in October, and this spin from LEGO’s newest set designer, Nathan Don, is especially sweet. Dubbed ‘Cherritoad’, this frog gives the theme its just desserts with a whimsical design that wouldn’t be out of place in the Pokémon universe. For a LEGO Continue reading →
