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 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.
