Shortlist announced for TBB’s Creation of the Year 2025 [News]

We love writing about the amazing LEGO models that people create. In fact, we’ve done it nearly 750 times over the course of the past year! Remember any of them? Well, you can always look through our MOC repository if not. But to help you out, we’re going to take a look at some of the absolute finest creations to have appeared in 2025. Of this shortlist, one will be crowned TBB’s Creation of the Year. What are the rules? Apart from the fact it should be made of LEGO – anything goes! Big or small, Nice Parts Use or emotional impact… All that matters is that it’s made an impression, both on us staff at TBB Towers and on you, our wonderful readers!

Take a look at our nominees below. Pick out your favourite, or let us know what we’ve missed!

Where one journey ends, another starts – or are they one and the same?

Sometimes, there is beauty in simplicity. Torger Almaas‘ debut on TBB is a LEGO build that doesn’t feature much in the way of clever parts use or innovative building methods. But what it lacks in tricksy techniques, it more than makes up for as a work of art! Considering it’s all done just one brick high, the setting sun that draws the eye looks absolutely superb. It’s a great focal point to sell the forced perspective at use elsewhere in this creation, such as the mountains or the birds flying overhead. I find myself wondering what the story is behind this lonely warrior, though. To me it seems like they’re on the way home after a long, arduous conflict – perhaps walking slightly gingerly. But they could just as easily be setting off on a journey, and that sunset could just as easily be a sunrise. What story do you see in this build?
