In less than a day, the US is already out of stock on a few LEGO Black Friday 2023 gift with purchase sets on the LEGO Shop. The Marvel Taxi (5008076) which came with the Avengers Tower (76269) and Majisto’s Magical Workshop (40601) are already gone and it may seem that the mini Falcon Knight’s Castle is also gone from the Rewards Center. I can’t confirm that because it only shows that I redeemed the code but I’ve been told by a few readers that it already went out of stock 30 minutes after Black Friday started. If you still want the promos, your best chance is to see if a local LEGO Brand Store still has them in stock or you may have to resort to the secondary market. It seems that LEGO is doing well for Black Friday this year even if the promotions don’t seem as flashy as...

It’s never too late to learn a new way to connect these LEGO bricks! And Maxim Baybakov shows us how it’s done with this North Tower creation. Fully embracing the half-stud measurement (the most important unit of measure in LEGO building, in my opinion), this tower slowly converges into a tight square of 10×10 studs using a brilliant studs-out technique that I’ve never seen put into practice like this. The finished model looks clean, with the only exposed studs included for effect. There’s even room for such great details as that adorable brick-built front door! Maxim gives us a peek at the interior technique with the graphic below. Such a complex means of generating that half-plate indent while ascending up the fortification, employing SNOT (studs not on top) with bar and clip connections to bring the tower into being. I’m definitely going to give this a try on my own as...

Every once in a while, you come across a LEGO creation on Flickr that just makes you stop and say “Wow!” That’s exactly what happened when I spied this exquisite ladder truck by Dan Nguyen. It’s an impossibly-realistic design, from bucket all the way back to to the rear step. I certainly appreciate the array of compartments, typical of a fire truck. And each is filled with the tools of the trade. Vehicles remain one of my (many) weaknesses when it comes to my own designs, so I’m in constant awe of those able to bring real-world transports like this to life.

Since LEGO launched their Botanical theme, we have seen a number of models inspired by the lineup of realistic-looking plants in LEGO form. This American Pitcher plant by moptoptrev is a well-done recreation of this predatory plant that lures insects into a deep bell-shape lined with sweet-smelling fluid that then traps the poor helpless bug. And if you have wings, flying won’t save you as the lid drops into place to seal your fate. The post This LEGO plant eats flies like you for breakfast appeared first on The Brothers Brick.
