What better place to spend your holiday from the Mushroom Kingdom than Isle Delfino? French builder Clément (issemclem) put together an impressive recreation of the Isle’s Delfino Plaza, bustling with activity and some familiar buildable Mario figures aside some that we haven’t seen before. At the center of the plaza is the massive Shine Gate (now fully cleared of Shadow Mario’s goop), towering over a Pianta plaza that is ripe with detail. A closer look at all of the tile work and detail that went into the foundation is recommended, as you may notice printed tiles from the Rivendell and Fountain Garden sets make an appearance alongside printed parts from the Super Mario sets (like the large coins from the Piranha Plant set). The plaza features some of the buildable Mario figures (like Yoshi and Toad), but also features some new character builds from Clément that feel right at home next...

LEGO collaborations between creators are always fun, especially with minifig creations, as it takes a type of building that can feel quite small assemble into something epic. It’s also inspiring, when working with friends and those you admire, to see what your fellow creators will make of a theme. This particular constellation of minifig builders first came together for a dark ronin-themed collab called Prism of Shadows that we all posted on last Halloween. We had such a good experience that we wanted to keep the group going, and so, for our next theme, we chose the Knights of the Round Table. We started by curating a list of knights, then randomly assigned one to each builder. We all did a little research on our respective knights to inform our interpretations. As a small side build, we all made a chair, so our Knights could sit at the Round Table. David...

Here at Brothers Brick, we love a good goose. Even (especially?) robotic ones! Paul Friesen designed this wired goose as a gift for Mechatronics students at the University of Waterloo, based on the program’s mechanical Canadian goose mascot. The mischievous bird even comes with a hammer for constructing chaos! Paul’s design is compact, highly-poseable, and built from common elements, and with these free LEGO goose instructions, you can build your own. With a few color swaps, you could easily modify the metal bits match your favorite flesh-and-blood goose.
