In celebration of Mothers Day and the many AFOLs who became mothers or mothers who discovered LEGO through their children, we present this guest post from our own Kimberly Giffen. The day arrives when the oldest child receives her first LEGO set, and the time for endless hours of building with your children has come. As a family with an AFOL mother and four kids, so many hours have been spent on building. We build together, they move on to something else, and I continue building. There is joy in the process. Watching as my oldest leans into the storytelling aspect of LEGO while one of the twins blows my mind with his part usage. The progression of helping with sets to watching them finish advanced builds all on their own. We have learned together. They would give me build requests. Mom, can you build a house, a school, a waterfall...

The Imperial probe droid floating up above the snow drift in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back with its long limbs unfolding like a nightmare spider was terrifying enough, but this microscale model by Tim Goddard of the heavy viper droid seen in Solo: A Star Wars Story took that fright to a new level.

The details on this tiny nightmare capture the sense of menace quite well. The post This LEGO heavy viper droid may be small but he packs a punch appeared first on The Brothers Brick.

We’ve featured a few 101-piece LEGO challenge builds recently, and this cute wizard built with 101 parts by Syrdarian really makes me smile. The big round eyes and small smile, made from a single rounded tile, give major Adventure Time vibes. The staff that is almost as tall as him is also a great touch, and that little bookmark ribbon poking out the top is just magical.
