All year-round, we here at The Brothers Brick spend our time featuring amazing builds made by the LEGO fan community. But we figured, for the holiday season, it would be great to build something together. For each day from December 1st through the 24th, we’ll be posting instructions to a custom TBB advent calendar build, one part each day. Want to participate? You can find all the parts you’ll need for the TBB Advent Event from our announcement in November. Read on to see what we’re building today! On day 4, the floor is finally completed. We’ll be set to populate it with more builds in the coming days.

In 1986, LEGO released the all-time classic LEGO Castle 6067 Guarded Inn (so beloved that it was even briefly re-released in 2001). Harking back to this bygone era, LEGO just announced the latest in their long-running line of modular buildings, LEGO Icons 10350 Tudor Corner. Launching on January 1st, 2025 for LEGO Insiders members (January 4th for everyone else), the set incorporates design elements from traditional British architecture for the first time, including a ground-floor pub named after the Classic Castle set and brick-built half-timber construction. As its name indicates, Tudor Corner is also the next corner module, following 10297 Boutique Hotel from 2022. The set includes a whopping 3,266 parts with 7 minifigs, and will retail for US $229.99 | CAN $TBD | UK £229. At LEGO headquarters in Billund, Denmark, I sat down for a conversation with the set’s designer François Zapf alongside graphic design team manager Ashwin Visser,...

Harry Potter provides our first Christmas tree of the season, topped with a star....

On the third day of December, my LEGO Advent calendars gave to me… six mystery items that we’re here to reveal! Between City, Friends, Disney, Harry Potter, Star Wars, and Spider-Man, who will have us cooing like a trio of French hens? As ever, our intrepid TBB team is on hand with witty comments, insightful observations, and bad jokes for each day’s builds. And of course, you can add your own thoughts in the comments section each day! So without further ado, let’s crack open the build for day 3… Just 3 days in and another micro doll? This time it’s Ariel with a little gift in tow. Meanwhile, Friends offers up a day-glo snowboard and helmet (on loan from Barbie and Ken, presumably) and a tiny ramp of snow. In the City calendar we have a… SWEATER DOG?! Yes! Hooza good boy? Harry Potter offers up a table full of sweet...
