The LEGO community is lucky to have so many blogs, magazines and channels that create amazing content about our hobby. Here at BrickNerd, we celebrate getting nerdy about the bricks!

This past month, we visited Brickworld Chicago, Paredes de Coura and Brick Rodeo. We took a deep dive into LEGO math and LEGO roofs. We chatted with a Pixar director, turned on the lights at LEGOLAND, and celebrated a LEGO wedding. We even published instructions for a baby spaceship and a truck, learned about Philippine architecture, got up close with some Bio-Cup creatures, and even got some LEGO wet on purpose. We’ve published so many interesting articles, that we’ve included an interactive calendar of them at the bottom of this post so you can make sure you didn’t miss a thing.

But there are many more fascinating stories to be told from within the LEGO community, so here are some of the best LEGO articles that caught our contributors’ attention throughout the month of June. We applaud the effort that went into each of these features, so click on the headlines or photos to head to each story or video. They are well worth your time!

Brick Fanatics: The LEGO Group Is (Mostly) Doing Right By Queer People

As LEGO has grown in popularity as a brand, they have been making concerted efforts to represent more people in its products. The LEGO Group’s recent LGBT+ friendly activities are very impressive, although there is arguably still room for improvement.

BrickCentral: Using Flags To Control Light In Lego Photography

We often say that light is the basis of photography and this is absolutely true. The more light you have at your disposal, the better. But sometimes we need to limit the amount of light or direct it in a special way to create a certain atmosphere. In this situation, the so-called black flags come to the rescue

Jay’s Brick Blog: A Deep Dive of The 2022 Lego Inside Tour Set – 4000037 LEGO Factory AGV

On an average day at the LEGO factory “Kornmarken”, each of the robot-like AGVs lifts and transports around 7.1 tons of LEGO bricks – and they do it all by themselves with no one to steer them around. In this year’s exclusive LEGO Inside Tour set, we salute the hard-working AGVs.

Maty’s Dice: Master Builder: Milan Reindl, The First And Only Czech One So Far (translated)

New Elementary: LEGO Cloth Fest: Eero Okkonen

The most common connection point on cloth pieces is a stud-sized hole. This is convenient, as a stud-sized hole also fits a pin, LEGO TECHNIC axle and a 3.18 mm bar - the latter, very loosely. This is also on minifig capes that connect to the tall neck stud of a minifigure torso.
