These pieces of LEGO news came out yesterday but it was a packed with LEGO reveals so I didn’t want to overshadow it. I rarely do any political content but it is LEGO related and relevant to the US. Yesterday, President Donald Trump imposed tariffs for Canada, Mexico, and China. This involves a 25% duty on all imports from from our neighbors. As we know, LEGO manufactures a majority of the sets for the North America market at the Monterrey, Mexico factory. We’ll have to see if LEGO raises their prices on the LEGO Shop and in stores in response to these tariffs. The LEGO Group does have a factory in Virginia that is set to open in the second half of 2025 but it won’t go into full production mode until 2027. Time will tell if LEGO moves up their scheduling to try to offset these tariffs. In other news,...

For each issue of BrickJournal Magazine, the BrickNerd team creates instructions for a LEGO mini-model to go with the theme of the cover story. For a recent issue about Classic Space, we created some Mini Rovers. Building a Mini Rover To celebrate Febrovery, I made instructions for some cute Mini Rovers that were originally made for an ILUGNY contest. There are two designs that look nearly identical depending on the color tread you want. The primary design is based on using the new round double 1 x 2 element with two bars as the treads or the curved 1x2 plate. You can build the Mini Rover in as many different color schemes as you like to match whatever look or Classic Space faction you love most in microscale. Here are the step-by-step instructions to build the first version of the rover using the curved brick with bars and a 1x1 clip...

When I returned to LEGO as an adult, I did not have a sufficiently large collection of elements to really build anything. It took me several years of buying sets on discount and multiple orders of elements from various sources to get to a point where I now feel I can build almost anything I can think of.

With Studio came some other useful tools, like a renderer and a part creator tool, that I’ve actually found uses for from time to time.  Many people (especially in the early days of digital LEGO building) did not consider digital creations to be “real” MOCs. More like a sort...
