Today The LEGO Group and The Pokémon Company announced a multi-year partnership with new sets to arrive in 2026. Details are short at this time, with a teaser video just showing the tail of a brick-built Pikachu, but with over 1,000 Pokémon and 30 years of games and anime to draw from, the possibilities are vast. Previously, Pokémon building toys had been released by Mega, with the line including both larger-scale buildable characters and smaller-scale playsets. Will LEGO follow a similar model? Can we expect minifigs of your favorite trainers? Tell us in the comments what you want to see from Pokémon LEGO sets next year. And while you’re waiting, have a peek(achu) at our Pokédex of fan creations we’ve admired over the years. Billund, Denmark, March 18, 2025: Today, the LEGO Group and The Pokémon Company International announced a new multi-year partnership that will bring LEGO® Pokémon to fans for the...

Greetings esteemed readers! It’s me, Caleb Huet, more commonly known as LEGOHobbitFan. Now, typically, I’m known as BrickNerd’s resident Middle Earth expert, but today I wanted to switch things up and talk about another fictional universe that is near and dear to my heart: namely, that of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Believe it or not, LEGO and Avatar: The Last Airbender have a rich history, from a couple of sets released in the 2000s to numerous fan-made tributes to the show, and in today’s article, we’re going to cover all of it! Long Ago, The Four Nations Lived Together In Harmony… First, though, I realize that there may be a few of you reading this who are unfamiliar with the masterpiece that is Avatar: The Last Airbender. For those poor souls, Avatar: The Last Airbender (commonly abbreviated as ATLA) is a 3-season animated fantasy show produced by Nickelodeon from 2005-2008. The...

Here at BrickNerd, we love creating and sharing instructions for builds. For our lucky number 13 Quick Build (and to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day), we have a cool little guy representing the Emerald Isle with a green hat and jacket and orange beard, clutching a gold coin. As a fan of the small brick-built figures, it was awesome to bring to life this little dude waving his coat. Let’s be honest here, I really wanted to use those leaf pieces and I think Little Paddy is loving my choice of clothes for him! :D Instructions to Build Little Paddy… or a Leprechaun The build starts with my all-time favorite brick—the Travis brick or 1x1 Modified Brick with studs on 4 sides. You can start any small build with this part, and it will work because you can build out in all directions with so many studs to work with! Here are...

Halfway through Imperial March, we are! Ready, are you, to rebuild the galaxy, hmmm? Embrace your inner dark side, and build into history you will. Many prizes, there are! (Don’t worry, only the first paragraph is written in Yoda.) We are challenging you, young Padawan, to bring to life your most iconic Star Wars creations. Imperial March is your battlefield to showcase epic scenes, legendary ships, and unforgettable characters.

And one builder who enters all three categories will win even more and the title of Grand MOC Builder! Choose the category that fuels your inner Sith Lord or Rebel hero—or enter all...

In honor of Pi Day (π = 3.14 or, as I love to think of it, Pie Day!), what better way to celebrate than by indulging in some delectable dishes? But since you’re here at BrickNerd and not some fancy food blog, we’ll be feasting exclusively on LEGO creations. So, I hope you’re hungry for another technique spotlight because we’re serving up a full-course meal. Rise and Dine: Breakfast First off, you can’t cook up anything tasty without a decent kitchen. Perhaps this nostalgic kitchen (at least if you were born in the 80s or 90s) by Aukbricks will spark some culinary inspiration. I love how things aren’t quite minifig scale. Now that we have got our surroundings taken care of, let’s get started with the most important meal of the day—breakfast. Tyler has whipped up this tasty looking waffle and decided to go for breakfast in bed. A tried and...
