To me, “Titolian” (Flickr / Instagram) – also known in real life as Theo Bonner – has always been a hallmark name in the LEGO sci-fi community. He’d most likely laugh and call me crazy, but his distinct style stuck with me so much that I immediately recognised it when he showed up in Billund for a hiring workshop, despite a few years of university-induced dark ages. A few months later he moved to Denmark, having been hired onto the LEGO Ninjago team as a product designer.  Soon he’d build MOCs with the bricks at work, his talent inspiring many of his colleagues and future products. And naturally, it also got noticed by the curators of the LEGO House Masterpiece Gallery where his wonderful collection of Friends cube creations is currently residing. Join us for a deep dive into what went into these colorful creations, and maybe learn a thing or two...

Best of BrickNerd: Weekend Highlight — Article originally published July 21, 2021. Like most things I do, the end of this article didn’t really resemble what I started with. I’ve been recently dabbling in a shared world-building group: World In Darkness (WiD)—it’s a near-future military theme started by Everette. I thought this would be a great place to do a quick write-up and give them some publicity and such, but as we got talking about a possible article, the standard Q&A format quickly went by the wayside and a different story started emerging. End of the Line - Everette But to tell this story, I have to go back to my “LEGO Birth.” Most people that know my builds know me for Sci-Fi stuff, a lot of spaceships, robots, stuffing animals into mech suits, and such… But I started as a “military kid.” I liked my BrickArms third-party stuff and built...

Best of BrickNerd: Weekend Highlight (in celebration of our “pi-RATS & BUG-aneers” contest)— Article originally published May 13, 2021. Nerdly wants to be a parrot too. Seeing all the recent excitement over LEGO animals, whether it’s the exhilaration of the pink frogs in the Bonsai Tree, the disappointment in the lack of goats in the Blacksmith’s Shop, or the enjoyment my fellow contributors have over their own creature collections, I was reminded of one of my favorites, the parrot. This got me thinking back on my love for the bird. So I did what any BrickNerd would do: dive into their storied history. But know that much of my appreciation for the charming avian element comes from a knock-off version I received in a bulk lot some years ago. So prepare yourselves for a deep exploration into why this little guy has become one of LEGO’s most common, versatile, and popular...
