On the third day of December, my LEGO Advent calendars gave to me… six mystery items that we’re here to reveal! Between City, Friends, Disney, Harry Potter, Star Wars, and Spider-Man, who will have us cooing like a trio of French hens? As ever, our intrepid TBB team is on hand with witty comments, insightful observations, and bad jokes for each day’s builds. And of course, you can add your own thoughts in the comments section each day! So without further ado, let’s crack open the build for day 3… Just 3 days in and another micro doll? This time it’s Ariel with a little gift in tow. Meanwhile, Friends offers up a day-glo snowboard and helmet (on loan from Barbie and Ken, presumably) and a tiny ramp of snow. In the City calendar we have a… SWEATER DOG?! Yes! Hooza good boy? Harry Potter offers up a table full of sweet...

Today, I am going to take you through my journey of creating a Great Ball Contraption (GBC) module out of a single $33 LEGO Technic set together with my Dutch-speaking GBC friends—and also show what the atmosphere is like at LEGO World Utrecht 2024 when you split up into teams. For background, BrickNerd-in-Chief Dave challenged me to build a GBC module from a single set and offered to provide the set, too. This way, new builders could have an easy way to enter the world of GBC without having to purchase many different parts. It also would be a fun way to show what the design process is like and give insight into the GBC loop to our readers. With those goals in mind, it was time to choose the set. Deciding Which Set To Use While browsing LEGO.com, I searched for a relatively inexpensive set to ensure the module would...

If you’ve ever been on the inside tour or visited Billund before Skærbæk Fan Weekend, you’ll know that there are a surprising amount of LEGO Group-related buildings hidden in plain sight all around the town. From its humble farmland beginnings, Billund has been the perfect spot to expand the company’s facilities as needed. As the LEGO Group broke ground on the new Innovation Campus last month, I thought it would be pertinent to share just how many nooks and crannies of the otherwise sleepy town are bustling with brick-based life! Out of respect for the staff around town I won’t be including exact locations, but if you find yourself walking about while visiting, you’ll now know what you’re looking at!
