Back in 2002, Pluto Nash flopped hard in theaters and The Segway was supposed to change our lives as we knew it. LEGO also had a major misstep with the short-lived Galador line with most folks citing it as a departure from what the LEGO experience should be. This makes it all the more hilarious as Will Hafner has an advent calendar of sorts sure to squig you out big time. He promises 24 days of Galidor (or Glinchmas) and I’m here for it. Some entries of note so far include this meat-head-alien sure to have you questioning your life choices. Next on the slab is the unsettling Spider-Man playing a violin. Or Man-Spider? Why is his spider half flesh-colored? Does this mean he’s only wearing a suit top? Does the spider web come out where you’d think it would? This creation proposes questions that are probably best left unanswered. I’d...

With a does that big you can go undercover for weeks, right? Bones: Another print on a fairly large piece, not as big as the one from set 76391, but I’m sure...

Exo-Force, LEGO’s anime-inspired precursor to Ninjago, is turning 20 and nostalgia for the mech-centric theme has never been higher. Andrew Somers is the latest builder to return to Sentai Mountain. Taking a break from his usual grounded military builds, Andrew reimagines the bright orange Mobile Defense Tank, LEGO’s tachikoma-esque with quad treads and heavy armament to take on enemy drones. Andrew reuses the classic printed orange elements while rebuilding the legs with Technic treads and applies his skill with modern weaponry in redoing the tank’s cannons. The accompanying decor and fleeing drones bring the setting to life. It’s a very modern build that stays very true to its classic inspiration. Andrew also contributed to the Medina Al Musawrah collab earlier this year. The post Exo-Force Mobile Defense Tank redux brings the nostalgia big guns appeared first on The Brothers Brick.

We’re coming up on The Year of the Horse according to the Chinese New Year and LEGO builders around the globe are celebrating with their own equestrian creations. Sakiya Watanabe AKA N.A.B.E_mocs graces us with this majestic horse reared up on hind legs. As if on a similar stride, DeRa gallops in with a fully posable horse; it even has the same coloration and similar build techniques. I like how it is delicately balanced on a stand only two studs wide. Both have me looking forward to a confidence-building 2026. And also Chinese New Year 2026 sets, which should be whinnying in soon. The post Year of the Horse comes galloping along appeared first on The Brothers Brick. Original linkOriginal author: Lino

It’s a question that’s been on my mind ever since I saw Star Wars: the Force Awakens. Not who Rey’s parents were, or why the Death Star is the size of a planet now. I still wonder: when BB-8 flicks his little flame in response to Finn’s thumbs-up, is he giving a thumbs-up back? Or is he giving a slightly ruder gesture? We may never know. What we can figure out is which response a LEGO version of the droid will elicit. 75452 BB-8 Astromech Droid marks the second LEGO iteration of this roundest of droids, and is considerably smaller than the 2017 model with a part count of 569. Pre-orders can be made now for US $89.99 | CAN $119.99 | UK £79.99, with a general release date of January 1. Other sellers across the galaxy may have it too, such as Amazon or eBay. Let’s get the ball rolling on...
