Dancing, dueling, and Dicken: This Week in LEGO Bricks [Feature]

A lot happens every week in the LEGO building world. Fortunately we have ABrickDreamer to capture all the essential stories in one video. It’s a full week but here are my favorite stories from others in the community: New Elementary sheds some light on two LEGO color changes, one of our favorite builders, Ben Cossy, recommends the best 2025 LEGO sets to buy for parts, and BrickNerd sets the essential context for the wonderful Keith Haring: Dancing Figures that just released.

Colors, competition, and cookies! A packed This Week in LEGO Bricks! [Feature]

It’s been an exceptionally busy week in the LEGOverse with dozens of new sets getting announced, May the Fourth blasting off, and a new batch of Bricklink Designer kits moving to the voting round. Not to mention the Rogue Olympics and Iron Builder competitions, and all the usual MOCs and articles about our beloved bricks. Thankfully, ABrickDreamer has rounded up the essentials for easy viewing. My favorite stories this week: in the Conversation Piece column, there’s a must-read roundtable discussion of color theory and LEGO, and over on New Elementary, one of our favorite builders, Tom Loftus, brings an expert’s eye to new parts and recolors on the new Jango Fett’s Starship.

This Week in LEGO Bricks: From Asgard to Isengard [Feature]

While scouring the LEGO world for essential creations and news for this week’s video, ABrickDreamer noticed a pattern – lots of builds inspired by transportation, from cyberpunk trucks to majestic camels. He also rounds up the latest models in the Rogue Olympics competition from many of our favorite builders. And if you’ve ever wondered what a 36,000 piece model of Isengard would look like, that’s here too. It’s another amazing week in LEGO bricks!

This Week in LEGO Bricks – The (almost) no Star Wars Edition! [Feature]

Imperial March is in the rear view mirror and May the Fourth is a couple weeks out, so amid new LEGO  announcements and reviews, let’s enjoy seventeen minutes of amazing builds that are 99% free of droids or Wookies! (There’s always one). As always, our friend ABrickDreamer curates the essential builder stories in one must-watch video. My favorite link of the week has to be Jonas Kramm’s Flower Pot Pals over at New Elementary. What a thrill to see TBB’s own Kimberly Giffen’s latest epic work in the spotlight (look for an extended feature on this build soon!)

This Week in LEGO Bricks: Building with character! [Feature]

As March rolls into April, several LEGO events come to an end and reputable sites like this one roll out dubious news. With so many amazing builds and stories in the AFOL world, we’re grateful that ABrickDreamer is here to round up the highlights in one place. This Week in Bricks captures highlights from events like Marchitecture and the Rogue Olympics, as well as April Fools, but it was character builds that took the spotlight. From a mind-numbingly good Nien Nunb to the latest Eero Okkonen diva, builders created some striking and memorable characters this week.

This Week in LEGO Bricks: Galactic Empire state of mind [Feature]

That’s no moon. It’s another Star Wars creation in LEGO! We’ve been noticing a lot of Star Wars builds lately, and so has our friend ABrickDreamer in the latest This Week in Bricks. Burned out on the Galactic Empire? How about a video on building the LEGO Roman Empire? There are a lot of great builds and articles covered this week, but my favorite has to be the Baoli of the Lotuses from akidandabrick. Thanks as always to ABrickDreamer for making it easy to catch the week’s highlights in one handy video.

Here at the Brothers Brick, we love writing about our favorite MOCs and new sets, but there are too many amazing creations and builder stories for us to cover them all. Thankfully ABrickDreamer is here to highlight the must-see models, articles, and videos of the week. My favorite link this week is Brick Fanatics’ wonderful video on why Fabuland was a hit in some places and not others, but the “illegal” road techinque from Brickcrafts is a close runner up.
