Your first thought of dragons, wyrms and wyverns might be scary mythical beasts. But with adept use of his LEGO pieces, Joey Klusnick reminds us that dragons have feelings, too. It’s named the Weeping Wyvern – clearly named after its resemblance to weeping willows. But the poor guy is actually weeping! But why? There is a missing goat poster pinned to its left ankle. Perhaps someone used too big a nail, or the goat is this wyvern’s pet? It’s anyone’s guess, really. The only other plausible explanation is that it’s seen the eye-watering prices of the original goat on the LEGO aftermarket… The post What woes will this willowy wyvern to weep? appeared first on The Brothers Brick.

Take some asteroids, throw in a pinch of alien viruses, stir it all up with a laser beam, and what do you get? Deoxys the Pokemon! Add some plastic to the mix and you get this fantastic LEGO model by Dylan Mievis. This Pokemon’s signature loopy DNA arms are made of 45-degree elbow bricks.

Join BrickNerd as we look at a sampling of the many sets with historical references, some of them very tiny! LEGO Building Systems (40505) is the latest LEGO House exclusive set. It pays homage to the three primary LEGO building systems: Duplo, System and Technic. One of the keys to LEGO’s early success was the implementation of a “system of play” where products were all compatible. I’m sure even Godtfred Kirk Christiansen (GKC - second generation owner) couldn’t have imagined how a “system of play” would eventually become a “system of systems”! In the set provided to BrickNerd by LEGO, each of the three systems is represented by an iconic product shrunk down in midi-scale on a separable display stand....
