TreeBeard, by @BrickBuiltJosh Ground cover can look great built with LEGO plates and studs and a few well-placed botanical elements. But what if you want something lusher? More wild? Fuller and vibrant and detailed? Then you need to level up your game. And yes, it is tedious. And yes, it is time-consuming. And yes, it is parts intensive. But for someone who loves nature and landscapes like me, it’s worth it. Especially if you use it in smaller builds or strategically in focused areas of a larger MOC (Covering an 8-foot-long build at this level of lush detail may drive you out of your mind). As LEGO bricks become more and more detailed, with intricate tiny parts, more botanical-focused sets, and creative recolors, it’s opening whole new doors for lush, vibrant landscapes not possible even 10 years ago in this level of detail and variety. So for the start of Spring...

Now that we’ve finally had time to marinate the announcement of the new LEGO Pokemon theme, we can now speculate on what we could be getting in 2026. The Pokemon license had been with Mattel under the Mega Bloks/Mega Construx umbrella since the early 2000s. We won’t’ speculate on why The Pokemon Company International decided to switch building block companies but LEGO fans are glad they did. I even guessed it when the LEGO Super Mario theme was announced in 2020 that we could be seeing a LEGO Pokemon theme in the future. Now fast forward to today where we start guessing what we could be seeing next year. The obvious thing is for minifigure scale sets with molded Pokemon characters with all the main ones like Pikachu, Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle. With that, we can also have brick-built Pokemon after they’ve evolved. Speaking of brick-built Pokemon, LEGO could also do...

Before we get started, I need you to watch this scene from GoldenEye: I, like many of you, lost count of how many times I watched this James Bond movie. I spent a small fortune renting it over and over again at Blockbuster Video (R.I.P). I was taken by how cool the activation mechanism was. There are countless other examples of key-enabled doomsday machines from popular movies of the time, like WarGames, Crimson Tide, The Rock, Under Siege, etc. Maybe the Cold War hangover that drifted into the 90s fueled a generation’s obsession with very powerful machines with elaborate activation methods, or maybe it just scratches some deep part of our brains that like mechanisms, buttons, and lights. Regardless, I have long dreamed of having a machine in my life worthy of key-activation. Today, with LEGO, an Arduino, and a small bit of coding, I have achieved that dream.  We Need...
