LEGO has revealed a “new” LEGO City Space set with the Space Explorers Pack (60441). Even though it’s a new set, it is just a 3-in-1 Super Pack featuring some of the newer released City Space sets including the Space Construction Mech (60428), Interstellar Spaceship (60430), and the Space Hoverbike (30663) polybag. The whole pack will retail for $31.99 which is a bit cheaper of you would have bought all three sets separately. I priced the polybag at $5 which brings the price of all three sets to $34.99 so you save $3. Most of you may pass on this one if you have the sets already separately but completionists may be interested in it. The set will release on May 1.

Today’s guest article comes from Charlie Stephens, an AFOL from Virginia and a member of NOVA-LUG known for building GBCs and mosaics. You can find him online on Instagram. When forming a collaborative LEGO build, you don’t always need to have a standard. For efforts that are smaller, involve fewer builders, or are more character-focused, you can definitely get by with a few discussions on how large the builds will be and what scale you’ll be working in. But if you’re looking to have a larger, consistent display, you’ll definitely want to form a building standard. Members of NOVA-LUG recently went through this process, so follow along and we can show you some of the lessons we learned along the way! Getting Everyone on Board During discussions at BrickFair Fredericksburg 2023, we had a handful of folks who wanted to collaborate on a build. As we were tossing around ideas on...

If you’re looking to get more of the Series 25 LEGO Collectible Minifigures, Amazon currently has a $8.95 coupon you can use on the 6 Pack Box to give it basically a 30% discount. This discount drops the price of the box down to $20.99 which makes each minifigure $3.50 each. Series 25 does include a few army builder characters but the main one is the Goatherd which includes the new white goat. As a warning, this is a mystery box so you’re not guaranteed anything.

In this article, I’m going to take a break from the technical topics of motors and train power systems and talk about some thoughts I’ve had about trains and building style! Over the past few years, I’ve been thinking about the “conflict” between the two key attributes of LEGO train rolling stock: Appearance - Aspects such as prototype fidelity, details, and scale define how the model looks Practicality - Aspects such as robustness, reliability, parts consumption, and buildability define how easy a wagon is to build, how well it runs and whether is it just a nudge away from falling to bits! Why have I been thinking about this topic? The key reason is that I often publicly exhibit LEGO train layouts with the expectation (both mine and the viewing public!) that the trains keep moving. Keeping LEGO trains on the move makes demands on things like battery endurance, available rolling...

The Mimic Dice Box (5008325) gift with purchase set for the new LEGO Ideas Dungeons & Dragons: Red Dragon’s Tale (21348) sold out in less than a day and the secondary market for the set looks to have become the most expensive GWP in recent memory. Currently, they are going for about $135-$140 on eBay while BrickLink is still in the low $100s. We don’t usually talk about reselling sets that much but this topic is a part of the hobby and for some, a job. For a long time now, reselling LEGO has been a polarizing topic. Fans are usually either for or against it but there’s also some in-betweeners as well. As we know by now, the yellow box GWPs are a more limited quantity than the standard box sets and some of them tend to command a higher premium if you missed out originally. Since it’s still early...

A nice easter egg from the designers. Some time ago, a good friend of mine (Richard from The Rambling Brick) pointed out that the Collectible Minifigure newspaper kid is holding a newspaper with a front-page article on the original classic town police officer. What’s more, though, is that the headline, judging by the ascenders and descenders of the heavily obscured text, appears to read Happy Birthday! In this installment of Behind the Design, I take a look at the iconic LEGO minifigure smile to reveal its design secrets, learn how it has evolved, and show examples of how it has been utilized over the decades. In The Beginning The original LEGO minifigure designed by the late Jens Nygaard Knudsen has remained an icon in the toy world since its inception in 1978. But if you look closely, the original 1977 patent and indeed the earliest sets depict an ever so slightly...
