Okay, BrickNerd fans, better pop a couple of Dramamines and slip on your swim floaties because today we’re checking out some crafty LEGO wave action MOCs!

The LEGO Ideas Dungeons & Dragons: Red Dragon’s Tale (21348) seems to be one of the more popular releases for early April as the Mimic Dice Box (5008325) gift with purchase set seems to have sold out online for the US.

The Flower Trellis Display (40683) is the only GWP still available here but other countries might still have both in stock.
