The Imperial Landing Craft was added to the Star Wars canon with the 1997 “Special Edition” re-release of Star Wars: A New Hope. The recent release of 75221 Imperial Landing Craft marks the second time LEGO has produced a version of this vehicle, despite very limited screen time — the first 7659 Imperial Landing Craft was released in 2007. This latest LEGO Sentinel-class landing craft set includes 636 pieces and 5 minifigs (counting Artoo) and retails for $89.99 in the US ($109.99 in Canada | £79.99 in the UK). The packaging & instructions In spite of the $90 price tag, the Imperial Landing Craft comes in a relatively small box, taller and more square than the rectangular box for 75218 X-wing Starfighter in the same wave of new sets. The parts also come in just five bags compared to the six for the X-wing, reflecting the inclusion of larger parts like...

Whether you like LEGO BrickHeadz or not, there’s no denying that they make excellent sources of small parts for your own LEGO creations, often in unusual colors or with unique printed elements. If you’re more of a collector than a builder, BrickHeadz are also a solid investment, since sold-out BrickHeadz are going for two to three times their original price on the secondary market. Regardless of your motivation, LEGO that’s as much as 46% off is hard to pass up! Without further ado, here are the LEGO BrickHeadz sets currently on heavy discount on Amazon.com. Note that some of the lower-priced items like Thanos and Gamora (at rock-bottom prices of only $5.38 each) can only be purchased as part of orders over $25, but it’s pretty easy to get over that price threshold, so just add them to your cart and keep shopping. amzn_assoc_tracking_id = "thebrobri-20";amzn_assoc_ad_mode = "manual";amzn_assoc_ad_type = "smart";amzn_assoc_marketplace =...

Back in 1947, French automaker Citroën debuted its H panel van. At the time, it was one of the wildest looking commercial vehicles on the market thanks to its sharp angle-laden front end. Rendering this detail in LEGO bricks would seem quite daunting, but OutBricks has managed to pulled it off (and in minifigure scale, no less). His version features the iconic corrugated body, and the front end has been cleverly emulated through the use of 4×2 wedge plates positioned in unusual angles. Meanwhile, minifigure ice skates are tilted to form the Citroën emblem. What makes OutBricks’ build all the more impressive is that he has included working doors. There’s a side-mounted sliding door and tri-folding doors at the rear. Believe it or not, that’s how they open on the real vehicle. His H1 even sports working suicide doors, a term used for doors hinged at the rear. Opening it reveals...

CD PROJEKT RED’s upcoming RPG Cyberpunk 2077 is one of my most anticipated video games. I carefully examined the screenshots revealed on the official site and found a good close-up of one of the handguns in the game. It was clear and showed all the details I needed to make a LEGO replica of it, so I created my build of the Militech 9mm Pistol to show my excitement for Cyberpunk 2077. The LEGO Militech 9mm Pistol features a moving trigger, removable magazine, and sliding bolt. These functions are demonstrated in this video, which also compares the LEGO pistol to the reference screenshots I used to build it.

I’m quite enjoying the burst of popularity the Harry Potter franchise seems to be receiving these days, not only because of the official LEGO Harry Potter sets newly released, but because of the many superb models fans have been creating. Builder Chungpo Cheng has made an excellent, large-scale model of your favorite half-giant, Rubeus Hagrid. The builder has done a particularly great job with Hagrid’s face and hair, which can be the most difficult part of the human body to translate into LEGO bricks. No details were spared on Hagrid’s clothes as well — from his belt buckle, to his coat clasps, they are all faithfully recreated. However, my favorite item has to be Hagrid’s pink umbrella, which can be spotted inside his right coat pocket. My only gripe with the model is that the crossbow appears to be more of a “crosspistol” when compared to the large size of Hagrid...
