LEGO has announced on the LEGO Ambassador Network blog that the company will be testing some new pop-up LEGO Brand Stores in select locations. The first one has opened up at The Shoppes at Buckland Hills in Manchester, Connecticut. The pop-up LEGO Stores will be somewhat similar to a standard LEGO Brand Store but the main difference is the layout. Some of them will have products sorted by age and the rest will be sorted by price. There are also some other differences which I have listed below from the press release post. A reason for LEGO opening up pop-up shops is that it gives kids and adults a chance to enjoy some of the fun experiences that they would’ve gotten from other stores like Toys R Us. Obviously, we don’t have TRU stores here in the US anymore so reaching out to that market is a great opportunity for LEGO...

It’s another day and another deal to tell you guys about. The LEGO Ideas Old Fishing House (21310) is currently on sale for $129.99 which is 13% off the retail price of $149.99. The set was released a year ago and as more LEGO Ideas sets are released, the older sets get retired to make more room for the newer ones. As I stated in my review, it is one of the most realistic sets that LEGO has released. If you’re still looking for good LEGO deals, the LEGO Creator Brick Bank (10251) is still on sale as of this writing. Now is a great time to pick these sets up as we get closer to the holiday season and retailers start to clear out their inventory.

The Reputation Institute has done a recent survey and has announced that LEGO is the most reputable company in 2018 across the EU5 countries. Topping the E5 RepTrak rankings which include Germany, France, Spain, Italy, and the UK, LEGO was named the company with the best reputation overall over other companies such as Bosch, Rolex, Sony, and Samsung. One of the main reasons why LEGO has named the most reputable company in the EU5 was its commitment to building a strong corporate brand and investment in corporate social responsibility. You can read more about the survey in the link above. The post LEGO Named 2018 Most Reputable Company in EU5 Countries appeared first on The Brick Fan.

There are very few things that are more American than NASCAR races. Hopping on the couch with a soda in one hand and the remote in the other, watching grown men drive cars in loops, one left turn after another, and secretly hoping to see a highly entertaining car wreck. But replace those cars with speeders and now you’re onto something! PigletCiamek has created NALSAR which is sure to satisfy your desire for speed and danger. Now THIS is podracing!

I’m back with another great deal on a LEGO set that’s on sale over on Amazon. The LEGO Creator Brick Bank (10251) from 2016 is currently sale for $145.70 which is 14% off the retail price. We normally don’t get discounts on these type of direct-to-consumer sets, except for using VIP points, so getting anything off is a good deal for us. Since this is an older set, it might be getting to the point where it may be retiring soon so now is the perfect time to pull the trigger on it if you’ve been holding off.

Since those very early days when people figured out mixing crushed wheat with water and getting it hot made for a pretty good snack humans have been baking. And it wasn’t long after that the art was perfected and the baker was born. Fast forward to medieval times and we meet Filia, star baker of the nine kingdoms, built by roΙΙi, and making me crave some pastries. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

This is officially the first SHIPtember 2018 build we’ve featured on BrickNerd. Now I know what you’re thinking, “hey, that’s a car, not a spaceship”. But take another look, this is Elon Musk’s Tesla Roadster and Starman, who is presently cruising through our solar system. Assuming the battery is still good we can assume he’s still listening to Space Oddity too. Nice build brickfrenzy. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

I don’t care much for carrots. When I eat a chicken pot pie, I usually pull them out and set them aside for corgi consumption (you can be assured they are watching me eat said pie, like they are watching me eat biscuits with my tea right now). This MOC by Legohaulic is doing nothing for my aversion to them either, and I’m guessing that bunny is also no longer a fan. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy
