Any LEGO fan can’t help but be impressed by large LEGO sculptures. In recent years life-sized car models have become an increasingly common subject. Join BrickNerd as we look at a sampling of these models and try to separate the mundane from the truly inspirational. California – The Land of Cars via elsief1 The first time I saw a life-sized LEGO car was at LEGOLAND California in 2004. The driving school attraction had just gotten Volvo as a sponsor and an XC90 SUV was placed outside the school entrance. It was certainly impressive just due to the sheer scale of the model! The curves of the vehicle were well represented using basic bricks and plates, while black bricks were effective for the glass of the windows. If I’m recalling correctly, the model was initially displayed on the ground before the raised simulated rock platform was added. As part of the corporate...

Alright BrickNerd fans, today is National Radio Day in the US… and it’s also National Bacon Lovers Day! (Not sure who comes up with these things or why, but that’s what we’ve got to work with in a pinch.) Whether you’re tuning into the crackle of the airwaves or the sizzle of the skillet, lucky for us, there are plenty of LEGO MOCs to check out! Vintage Let’s kick it off with something from BrickNerd’s own Andreas Lenander. There was a time when radios were people’s connection to the outside world: news, entertainment, and of course, the emergency broadcast network- Shriiieeeeek!!! We all know that sound. Good times! Cooking Up Some Tunes Here we’ve got two variations from Johan Alexander (Jalex). First is a seventies-era radio that’s familiar to me from my childhood. We had one in the kitchen, too. But they could also run on batteries, so you could take...

It has 2,405 pieces and will be priced at $259.99.

Following the LEGO Harry Potter Borgin and Burkes: Floo Network (40690), LEGO has revealed another gift with purchase set with the Collectible Weasley Clock (5009008). There’s so information yet on how to get it but but I’m guessing it’ll be part of The Burrow – Collectors’ Edition (76437) whenever it releases. Just like in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the clock shows where each of the family member is at. From The Burrow’s living room to a Harry Potter fan’s home: the Collectible Weasley Clock. As Harry Potter once said of the real Weasley Clock, this magical room decor is useless for telling the time but otherwise very informative! The clockface has a spinning center to point at one of the possible locations: ’Home’, ’School’, ’Work’, ’Traveling’, ’Lost’, ’Hospital’, ’Prison’ and ’Mortal Peril’. This LEGO® Harry Potter ornament makes a cool gift for girls, boys and fans aged 6...
