Brick Fanatics has announced that their in-house magazine will be ending as of today. The magazine started a year and half ago with the publication coming out monthly. Brick Fanatics will now be using those resources and focusing on other projects that “offer a greater and more direct LEGO experience to readers.” Subscribers will be getting a refund for issues left on the subscription. You’ll have to email them at [email protected] with your name and order number. It’s sad to see another LEGO magazine go away but in the digital age, it’s hard to rely on print media, especially for news. Brick Fanatics Magazine to conclude Brick Fanatics Magazine, the print publication dedicated to building your world of LEGO, will cease production from Issue 12 After 18 months of hard work and fun, 12 editions of Brick Fanatics Magazine packed full of brick-based content and some quite remarkable, overwhelming support from...

After writing these intro texts for 15 days straight, it’s hard to sound enthused and try and come up with something new every day. Maybe I should tell a story, and break it up over the...[[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]Original link

Ok, I know old radios weren’t called boomboxes, but hear me out. It’s a box, and it plays music, is there any real difference? At what point does a radio become a boombox? When you add a tape deck? Now granted I don’t really see one of these on the street next to some cardboard blasting RUN DMC, it’s more likely to in a sitting room with some Glen Miller streaming out.

LEGO’s new Creator 3-in-1 31105 Toy Shop Town House and its predecessors remind me of a yearly recurring mini-modular theme for a younger target market. This yearly 3-in-1 tradition has always caught my eye in one way or another, simply because it’s a faint reminder of its bigger cousins the ever-popular Creator Expert Modulars, like the recently announced 10270 Bookshop, but without the hefty buy-in cost. This year we get a 554 piece Toy Shop Town House to explore. Let’s take a look at what’s in store for us. The set is expected to retail for 49.99€, and will be available in January. The box and packaging The set comes with 4 bags, an instruction booklet, two loose plates and no stickers. The build experience The build starts off with a perimeter of wall structures and a few printed tiles of LEGO boxes on the shelves. It’s a nice surprise to...

Welcome to Day 16 of our LEGO Advent Calendar countdown. Each day, we’ll reveal the four mini-builds from the LEGO Harry Potter, LEGO Star Wars, LEGO Friends, and LEGO City 2019 advent calendars along with commentary from The Brothers Brick team. If you’re opening one (or more) of these advent calendars along with us, we’ve made sure the pictures and commentary on each day’s models will be behind a jump so we don’t accidentally ruin the surprise. Will we deem Day 16 keen? For Day 16, we have a chess set from Harry Potter and a Trade Federation MTT from Star Wars. Dave: This Harry Potter Advent is making all the others look bad this year. That chess set is better than the one that comes in the ginormous 71043 Hogwarts Castle! For Star Wars, we have a MTT (Multi-Troop Transport) from The Phantom Menace. This is an ambitious vehicle to do...
