I love the LEGO Botanical line, but I have a problem. I’ve only got two vases. Some Botanical sets try to solve that problem for me by including a pot or something, but then I have a second problem: I don’t have a ton of table or shelf space. What I do have is often overrun with MOCs of my own. Where can I put these gorgeous flowers without having to move into a bigger place? Flat surfaces and vases may be limited, but one thing most of us have a lot of: wall space. That makes sense, since there’s roughly four times as much wall in any room as there is floor! So I set about to turn these tabletop Botanical sets into wall-mounted art, and honestly, it went better than I’d ever imagined. Flower Arrangement: From Shelf to Frame Let’s begin with 10345 Flower Arrangement. (This was actually the...

Next up on our reviews of the LEGO Jurassic World sets, we check out one of the more expensive sets, the Raptor & Titanosaurus Tracking Mission (76973).

Summer Joust is in full swing, and while some builders might be focused on towers, turrets, or trebuchets, I’m throwing open the shutters to focus on something just as important—windows. Whether they’re casting soft sunlight into a medieval great hall or adding a little extra pane-ache to your walls, windows are often the unsung heroes of great LEGO architecture. In this round-up, I’ll focus mostly on examples of medieval/Tudor-style windows from around the LEGO community. I hope these examples provide you with some inspiration for your next MOC, whether it be for Summer Joust or just for fun. Brick-Built LEGO Windows Starting off with a bang, we have this beauty by Ralf Langer. Ralf always uses a variety of stunning techniques, not least of which when it comes to making windows. See if you can find at least five different windows in the build below. Source: Flickr The build below is...

A couple more LEGO Ideas projects have reached the 10,000 supporter goal in the past few days and it has considerably slowed down. We’re up to 92 projects in the Second 2025 Review Stage and it’s getting hard to keep up and see which projects have reached. This is due to LEGO Ideas not having a decent sorting function that shows the latest ones in order so you’ll have to scroll and check which ones you haven’t seen before.

What are the BrickNerd Games, you ask? It's an...
