We often talk on this website about how hard it is to make LEGO creations out of gold. Not literal gold, obviously, although presumably that is also quite difficult. Goldsmiths, get in touch and let us know. No, gold-coloured LEGO bricks have traditionally been limited to just a few select parts, making it quite hard to build anything substantial out of them. Not that you’d know that from looking at Joe Lam‘s hall of armours! These 12 sacred Cloths form a key part of the manga and anime Saint Seiya, and are all based on the zodiac signs. Joe’s build represents each one superbly! Can you spot them all? The post Who says LEGO gold is hard to build from? appeared first on The Brothers Brick. Original linkOriginal author: Theo Spencer

Just because Sakiya Watanabe has been nominated for our LEGO Creation of the Year, doesn’t mean he’s going to rest on his laurels! And just to reinforce that dedication to improving his craft, here he presents an updated version of the bald eagle we featured 10 months back. We were full of praise at the time, but Sakiya wasn’t satisfied. The curse of the perfectionist! In case you can’t spot the differences, they include an updated tail, water splash and head. The photo angle also appears to have been carefully selected to better hide some of the underlying structure. There is one thing that hasn’t changed, however. We’re just as awe-struck this time around! The post The second bird catches the fish – after it’s been rebuilt appeared first on The Brothers Brick. Original linkOriginal author: Theo Spencer

Team Cherry recently announced upcoming updates to the latest Hollow Knight installment, a sign that the Silksong hype isn’t going away anytime soon. While I’m still working my way through the postgame act, Coosey_Goosey shared three new wonderful character builds from this incredible game – including one character that we haven’t seen built or covered on The Brothers Brick yet! They’ve also made free instructions available for all three builds, which you can download by visiting Coosey_Goosey on Rebrickable. Join us as we take a closer look at each of these buggy builds below. Hornet is understandably one of the most popular character builds we’ve seen from Silksong, but Coosey_Goosey’s take is one of our absolute favorites. The modular technique used to shape her dress is expertly done, especially where all of the portions come together to meet the collar. Hornet’s slender figure is a key visual attribute, and the Darksaber...

Paul Hetherington seems on top of the world right now, so I reached out to see if he’d be game for an interview. He said, ”Hey, Lino, that would be amazing! It would be an honor to be interviewed by my favorite interviewer. Now that Barbara Walters is gone, we need more decisive journalism to clog up the internet.” With that said, let’s soften the lights and get our decisive journalism on. Sit back, relax- and you might want to mix yourself a good, strong Tiki drink for this one. TBB: (Lino) Thanks for being with us, Paul. Look how handsome you are! Your smile can light up an adult book store. We last interviewed you in 2017 when Kanye and Diddy were topping the charts. Since then, I’ve lost my hair and gained 15 lbs. and, well, Kanye and Diddy are facing their own challenges. How are you holding up?...

By now, you will have seen our shortlist for our annual Creation of the Year award. What?! You haven’t? Well head on over here to see it! It’s one thing to create one, year-defining build. It’s another thing entirely to consistently hit such heady heights in multiple builds over the course of a year. That’s what our Builder of the Year award celebrates! This might be someone whose builds were just too good not to feature over and over again (think last year’s winner, Maxx Davidson). They might have achieved success in other spheres, such as winning contests (Jonas Kramm won his Iron Builder round in 2017) or gaining LEGO Ideas sets (Sandro Quattrini, 2021). Or perhaps they showed growth, taking their builds to new heights like Dicken Liu did in 2023. What will set our 2025 winner apart? Take a look at our shortlist and cast your vote in the...
