Earlier today, we got a first look at the LEGO Ninjago Micro Ninjago City (40703) but the real question is how to get it. Well according to LEGO China Weibo, it’ll actually be a LEGO Insiders reward which will cost 6,500 points to redeem it. Every quarter in 2024, LEGO will drop a new set in January, April, July, and October and it’ll cost 6,500 each. Yes, you read that right.

To be honest, you can actually get all four full sized sets at their current...

But what do all of these terms mean? What goes into each of these processes and why does it matter? These are a few of the questions I aim to answer, but before we start, I must ask another question… What Is Custom LEGO? Custom LEGO could be loosely defined as any official LEGO piece that has been physically modified by the user or any custom accessory...

Today’s guest article comes from Josh Parkinson, a LEGO builder specializing in forced perspective. He shares with us the final build progression and lighting of his North Pole MOC. It was five months since my interview here on BrickNerd, and I had just completed the next major section of my largest build yet, The North Pole. I now had the elf workshops, the foreground foundation built, and the microscale background landscape done (check out Part 1 for the full details). Things were coming together and moving along smoothly. Next up was finishing the foreground trees, building the backdrop, lighting it, and bringing it all to my first LEGO convention, BrickCon. But it was time to put the North Pole MOC away for a bit as I was about to head out on a warm Southern California road trip for my birthday. I had several months before BrickCon—plenty of time, right? Well,...
