November has arrived which means BrickNerd is celebrating Nerdvember! It is a month where we get EXCEPTIONALLY nerdy (well… nerdier than normal) and dive even deeper into LEGO topics, techniques, themes, history, lore, MOCs and more. But it also means we host our annual contest where you can reimagine our mascot Nerdly to win some amazing prizes! So what’s the contest theme this year? We’ve done a high fantasy theme and a survival theme. This year we are feeling a bit more… energetic. Welcome to Nerdvember 2024: Animation Edition! Animated Excitement Yes indeed, animation in all its forms is the theme of the contest. We want you to get creative with our mascot Nerdly (here are basic instructions as a PDF download) and customize it to an animated character of your choosing. We’re looking for the best that animation has to offer! Will you make something classic from Disney or Pixar?...

As of this post, there is less than 19 hours left to get your pre-orders in for the BrickLink Designer Program Series 3 sets. There are only two sets that have hit the 30,000 maximum limit which are the Forest Stronghold and Camping Adventure but there are two that are very close behind. The only set that will probably not hit the max is Lost City but has reached the minimum amount required for it to be produced. This means that there will be a very limited number of this set made and may get a bigger demand on the secondary market. • Harbormaster’s Office• The Art of Chocolate• Lost City Harbormaster’s Office – $199.99 The Art of Chocolate – $229.99 Lost City – $289.99 The post Last Day for BrickLink Designer Program Series 3 Pre-Orders appeared first on The Brick Fan.

While I don’t typically watch coming-of-age or supernatural TV shows, I binged Wednesday back in 2022 and thoroughly enjoyed it. When the new LEGO Wednesday sets were announced last month, I wanted to build something representing a little bit of the show, so when LEGO offered to send something spooky our way, I didn’t hesitate to volunteer! You may recall the many horrors of Galidor I’ve explored as well as mangled minifigs, so playing around with the Wednesday sets seemed like a natural fit. I started taking a look at the characters then building the sets. Building the Wednesday Sets As soon as they showed up on my doorstep, I realized I would get to build the whole theme! In all my years of building, I’ve only built a single BrickHeadz, so naturally, I started with 40750 Wednesday & Enid. They both look fantastic next to their minidoll counterparts that I...
