TBB NEWS AND REVIEWS Longtime fans of Jack Sparrow and the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise have a lot to get excited about with the announcement of the new LEGO Icons set presenting the Black Pearl, or as LEGO calls it, Jack Sparrow’s Pirate Ship, the all black cursed ship with the tattered sails which was featured in several of the movies. Another favorite franchise also revealed a new set coming later this year, the adorable Mogwai Gizmo, from the 80s film Gremlins. For even more news and reviews, be sure to check out last week’s Brick Report, where we reviewed the Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory set, and wrapped up Vingnweek coverage.

TBB FEATURES & INTERVIEWS Many of us here at The Brothers Brick have been working on builds to contribute to our Steampunk-themed worlds fair collaborative display which we are sponsoring for BrickCon 2025, the longest running LEGO fan convention in the country! We hope to see some of our readers participate in the display as well as at the public convention days… be sure to stop by if you are planning to attend, or even better, bring a model of your own to add to the display. If you are a registered attendee, and have a steampunk-themed build, just select TBB Royal Exhibition 1898 when you register your MOC (My Own Creation) and we’ll see you there. For more information, check out our announcement post.

TBB NEWS AND REVIEWS We feasted on LEGO Star Wars last week, with a bunch of new sets announced, including the highly anticipated AT-ST UCS set that looks to add tons of great details to the classic chicken walker. This week, we get a robot from another franchise, the latest Transformer to join the lineup. Soundwave and his two cassette tape pets were one of those toys that I played with so much that I broke both of the mini-bots from repeated transforming. And while K2-SO may not be the droids the Empire was looking for, He has been eagerly awaited since the Disney+ series Andor brought so many characters from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story back to mind. Still hungry for more LEGO news? Sink yer teeth into last week’s Brick Report for a tasty snack.
