Arrakis, Spice, Desert… hearing these words when the LEGO Dune Atreides Royal Ornithopter was revealed was a wonderful day if you are a nerd. Growing up in the 1980s, the book Dune and subsequent movies inspired my love of science fiction even more. So this got me thinking: When and how did all of these promotional tie-ins and intellectual property (IP) LEGO sets get started? How did we get from Classic Space or Pirates to an awesome branded flying mosquito? Dune Atreides Royal Ornithopter by LEGO Expanding upon the original article “Everything You Want to Know About Tiny Themes: IPs” by fellow BrickNerd Griffin Rose, I wanted to look at the earliest instances of partnerships and co-branded sets that have since kicked off their modern onslaught of IP-based sets. Way Back When… Since the early days, LEGO has produced sets in collaboration with various other businesses. Some of the earliest of these...

I always find Febrovery too short of a month—28 days of rovers showing up in my feed isn’t long enough to satisfy me—so realizing that this year we’d get an extra leap day of rover goodness was a good feeling. And boy was it a good day. Not only did we get an extra rover from the regulars, we got this beauty from Scott Wilhelm! This rover has everything you could wish for or imagine, and then some—massive tires, full interior, movable crane, lights, and remote-control motor. No wonder builder Scott Wilhelm waited for a February with 29 days to tackle this project! In fact, even with that extra day, I was wondering how he pulled it off—so I asked him about that and a few other questions while I was at it. Geneva: In the description you mentioned that you’ve been wanting to do a big rover with those giant...

For me, the LEGO hobby is mostly about building MOCs. As I have explained in previous articles, it is a creative outlet. An important aspect of my MOCs is that I want to create original models that no one has seen before. I follow many artists and designers on Instagram for inspiration, but when it’s time to start building, I try to put my own ideas and tastes into the MOC.  When it comes to coloring your MOC, I believe it comes down to tastes and preferences, but I also think there are ways to use color that work better than others. In this article, I will share my thoughts about colors and MOC design. The Blank Slate In this article, I will give examples of ways to use various colors on a single MOC I’ve made you can see below. As this is a digital MOC, I will not check...

In our previous article “LEGO Community in the Time of Covid,” we mentioned that build challenges have become a popular and excellent way to connect with the global AFOL community.

Since our article was published last year, these challenges have only gotten bigger and better! In 2021, there were 2,605 habitats built by 330 participants all over the world.   We sat down with Jen who runs @brickfambuilds to chat about her awesome build challenge and its effect on the AFOL Instagram community. Inez: Hi Jen! Before we talk about the minifigure habitats, could you tell us something about yourself and your LEGO journey? Jen: My LEGO journey is brief: My 6.5-year-old twins loved Duplo when they were small. So naturally when they were around...
