Rebecca - by JAvier Soravilla; The muse for this chibi adventure Javier Soravilla (LegoWyrm on Flickr) is well-known in the AFOL community as a prolific MOC builder of anime-inspired chibi characters. A couple of months back, his build of Rebecca from the anime series Cyberpunk: Edgerunners really caught my eye. I thought to myself “Man, what a cool figure to have on a display shelf!” It turns out that I was not alone in that sentiment. There was so much interest in Rebecca that Javier kindly created building instructions for her a week later and posted them on his Flickr account. With Javier’s instructions as my starting point, I decided to try building some “original” chibi characters of my own. I chose to build the “LycoReco girls”, Chisato and Takina from the recent anime series Lycoris Recoil… But what I didn’t realize at the time was that the “O.G.” who developed...

It seems that LEGO has a bunch of stock for the LEGO Ninjago Micro Ninjago City (40703) as they are literally giving it away with purchases of $20. The 339 piece set was originally available back in March 2024 when it was an LEGO Insiders reward item costing 2,700 points. It was then bundled with the other micro Ninjago sets for 5,400 points but I guess nobody wanted to spend their points to get it. You can also double up the LEGO Ninjago Micro Ninjago City (40703) with the Winter Gazebo (40778) with purchases of $150. It looks like it’ll also work with pre-orders but the Gazebo will not so plan accordingly. As a Rakuten/Linkshare Affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

Are you a LEGO fan who is tired of hearing, “Can’t you give me other gift ideas than LEGO?” during the holiday season? Are you a loved one of a LEGO fan looking to give something different because your LEGO fan has already bought all their gift ideas for themselves? Are you an AFOL who also loves tools? Are you curious as to what other AFOLs use to build? If you answered yes or maybe to any of those questions, then BrickNerd is here to help you!

Once again, the holidays are upon us! As folks may have noticed over the years, Christmas is pretty popular here at BrickNerd, and we’ve gotten nerdy about all manner of holiday decorations and traditions. We’ve covered the trees themselves with the UCS Christmas Tree (Eiffel tower) and how to make a large-scale wooden LEGO tree. We’ve had plenty of articles on ornaments (Roguebricks Christmas Bauble Secret Santa and Deck the-Halls with Balls of LEGO). If you go way back in the archives, you even find full a brick-built tree! Expanding beyond our own little Nerdom, you have Chris McVeigh’s two excellent ornament books, and the LEGO company’s own ornament offerings, but we will stop there to keep the list short! But I can’t recall ever seeing anyone who has made Christmas tree lights out of LEGO… Well, now someone has! Light proof of concept on a single bulb demo light Let...
