Here at The Brothers Brick, we review many sets each year, and with over 500 official LEGO sets released in 2024 across every theme, there were certainly a lot of great sets that caught our eye, as well as a few that left us scratching our collective heads wondering what they were thinking. As we reach the end of another year of LEGO it’s time to look back over some of the best, and some of the worst (in our opinion) sets from LEGO to release in 2024. Be sure to let us know in the comments if you have any other nominations for best or worst LEGO sets from this last year. The worst sets of 2024 LEGO Despicable Me 4 75582 Brick-Built Gru and Minions When the wave of sets promoting the fourth installment of the Despicable Me franchise was announced, most of the sets were standard play sets...

Last week, we introduced our shortlist of 10 creations that were in the running to earn a coveted title: that of our favourite LEGO creation of the year. Narrowing it down to that list was hard enough – there is so much talent in the LEGO community! Over the past week, we’ve had the unenviable task of picking out a winner. In our round-up of the TBB readers’ (hey! That’s you!) favourite LEGO moments of 2024, we were struck by how many people had listed conventions as their highlight of the year. After all, that is the best place for community – and to see jaw-dropping builds in person. Our winner this year is one such build, one that made a real impression on us both in the brick and online. It’s epic in size and scale, being made up of nearly 7,000 pieces. It’s wonderfully sculpted, with an entirely brick-built...

That weird period between Boxing Day and New Year’s Eve is coming to an end. Normally a stretch where time seems to disappear, here at TBB Towers we’ve used the intervening week to whittle down our LEGO Builder of the Year shortlist. Making that list was a heck of a job in and of itself! But while everyone was pitching their nominees, and we had our discussions, there was one name that kept on cropping up. A builder who demonstrated creative flair, made clever use of unusual parts, and did so to an exceptionally high standard. Most impressive of all, it was all done with remarkable consistency – we wrote about their creations a whopping 19 times across the year. That builder, and The Brothers Brick LEGO Builder of the Year 2024, is Maxx Davidson! Maxx’s creativity shone through several times throughout the year, particularly with his pun-based builds. And we...

Oscar Cederwall‘s sci-fi LEGO creations are consistently impressive, whether massive SHIPs or character-focused cyborgs. So it’s quite a treat to see the builder dabble in fantasy as part of the Brickscalibur competition. Challenged to create a party of adventurers, Oscar combines minifig heads with cleverly-constructed bodies of his own design. The Pyromancer, Druid, and Frost Mage on the right all incorporate Modulex bricks for their legs, a slick technique the builder came up with last year. An assortment of cloth elements and even Scala jewelry give the cast doll-like detail. The standout has to be the Spider Queen with her striking profile, wicked staff, and Galaxy Squad alien abdomen.

Weeks ago, we asked what LEGO moments meant the most to our readers, and heard from so many about their favorite times with the brick over the last year. It feels like 2024 has gone by so fast for me, but it sounds like many of you had time to stop and enjoy LEGO in the last 365 days. While I won’t be able to cover all the submissions we had, here’s a smattering of your favorite LEGO moments from 2024. The sets we built The year of 2024 has brought some fantastic LEGO sets. Some, like Darklink82, just mentioned their favorite: LEGO The Legend of Zelda 77092 Great Deku Tree 2-in-1. Others, like our editor Jake, talked about their fun with LEGO Ideas 21348 Dungeons & Dragons: Red Dragon’s Tale: “My first highlight was running the D&D Red Dragon’s Tale campaign with my 10-year-old daughter. As I don’t have any...
