Review: 40921 Up-Scaled Blue Astronaut Minifigure

Posted by ,

40921 Up-Scaled Blue Astronaut Minifigure is set to join the collection of 6-scale minifigures next month, a figure that fans of the 6x-scale models have been waiting for since they debuted in 2021.

As you'd expect, this one is much the same as its predecessors in terms of design, although the hip joints have been improved considerably.

Throwback Thursday - Auckland Airport celebrates 60 Years

Posted by ,

Auckland International Airport held a three-day grand air pageant over Auckland Anniversary weekend, in January 1966. This marked the opening celebrations for Auckland's new international airport.

A few weeks ago, the airport celebrated sixty years of operation. As part of those celebrations, they commissioned an Auckland-based LEGO fan to build two scale dioramas of the airport: one model to represent the original layout and the other model to show how the airport will look in a few years when domestic and international terminals have been upgraded and improvements are complete.

Read on as I interview Jon-Paul Hanson, who has created a cottage business of designing and building scale LEGO models for paying commercial clients.

Review: 75448 Clone Shock Trooper Mech

Posted by ,

I have never been convinced that mechs have a place in LEGO Star Wars. Microfighters occupy a similar price point and seem more appropriate for Star Wars, where vehicles are essential to its appeal. Nevertheless, this series continues with 75448 Clone Shock Trooper Mech.

We understand from NINJAGO how popular red mechs can be, considering the number of Kai-themed vehicles produced over the years, so I am not surprised to see the Shock Trooper selected for a mech. It definitely results in an eye-catching colour scheme, even if the minifigure is not that exciting.

BDP Series 10: Deep Space Explorer

Posted by ,

There are just a few days left now to vote in BrickLink Designer Program series 10 but we still have a few projects to highlight. This article has been contributed by enowicki10:

I am very excited to introduce one of my latest entries into the Bricklink Designer Program Series 10, titled Deep Space Explorer.

Developed as the fleet’s premiere research and exploration starship between 1978 and 1987, the Deep Space Explorer is still at the forefront of cutting-edge technology today.

Bristling with a variety of sensors and detachable vessels, the Deep Space Explorer’s mission is to explore, map, and research the far reaches of unknown space.

Crewed by 1 friendly robot, 3 Pearl Gold astronauts, and 3 Dark Turquoise astronauts, the Deep Space Explorer is ready for any mission.

Review: 910060 Sushi Restaurant

Posted by ,

Modular Buildings are no longer accepted in the BrickLink Designer Program, but there are many impressive buildings available in this series, even so. The fantastic 910060 Sushi Restaurant is the latest example, richly detailed on every side and throughout its interior!

The designer, Brickproject, has visibly focused on authentic Japanese architecture, which helps to distinguish the Sushi Restaurant from other LEGO buildings of a similar size. Moreover, a historic tram is included to complete the scene, so this has the potential to be a standout BrickLink Designer Program set.

BDP10: Polar Nomads: Crawler Convoy

Posted by ,

Our next BrickLink Designer Program showcase takes a retro approach to polar exploration, with Polar Nomads: Crawler Convoy by Denmark_Dragon:

A Proper Polar Play Set for Everyone!

Hey! I’m Gianluca and I’m happy to share my model for series 10. Instead of a static building, I designed two large treaded vehicles you can roll around and deploy into a mobile play set. With plenty of support vehicles & equipment to interact with the Arctic landscape, I hope to bring Classic LEGO play to a new Polar environment!

From Town to Now

Late last year, I had the chance to build and enjoy the entire LEGO Town Arctic line from the year 2000. After building all the sets on my table, I oriented them in a convoy of sorts and since I had two copies of 6520 Mobile Outpost, and a handful of extra figures, all the elements together formed a visually commanding assortment of mobile vehicles on the move.

Former LEGO designer finds illegal technique in new model

Posted by ,

11376 Ford Model T was revealed last week and the discussion about it appears to have been positive on the whole.

We weren't sent one to review (which is fine, we receive more than we can handle as it is) so we have not had a chance to build it yet.

However, ex-LEGO designer Tiago Catarino has, and has just posted his video review on YouTube.

Unfortunately, he found what he believes is an 'illegal' technique that is stressing elements to breaking point.

BDP10: Rolling Dough Pizza Co.

Posted by ,

BrickLink Designer Program series 10 voting has begun, so this week we are publishing articles written by project designers.

In this one, Lucas Michlik (BrickAndMortar) describes Rolling Dough Pizza Co.

Pizza is one of my absolute favourite foods. There's just something perfect about it. And when I was thinking about what my LEGO city was missing, it hit me: a proper neighbourhood pizza spot. Not some generic chain, but the kind of place with character, where locals actually hang out. That's how Rolling Dough Pizza Co. came to life.

These are the reviews that we've published recently:

71514 Dino Jet

A colourful DREAMZzz set with two striking dinosaur mechs and great minifigures.

21366 Floating Sea Otters

While different than the original, the model still maximizes the cuteness factor

71856 Jay's Transforming Car

While an enjoyable set in some respects, there are too many problems for the price

60500 The LEGO Van

60500 The LEGO Van is pretty much faultless, though perhaps a bit expensive

11502 Sunflower Bouquet

These life-sized flowers look very much like the real thing

71513 Nightmare Scorpion Digger

A dark and imaginative DREAMZzz set with a choice of two impressive nightmare creatures.
