There's a whole lot of mystery to be solved here. How many bags in the box? What condition is the sticker sheet in? Are there any printed elements? Solve these and more as we build the Mystery Machine live! Building starts at 9am PST. Visit the Facebook page for a link to the Google+ Hangout to chat live with us. See you then!
Zoinks! We're having a LiveBuild tomorrow but we're not going to tell you what it is. Whatever could it be? We're not telling, but you can bet old man Johnson down at the abandoned carnival is behind it all! Yup, there's a whole lot of mystery to solve here.
You'll just have to join us at 9am PST to find out!
Join me and Mrs BrickNerd Dianna as we build LEGO Ideas Big Bang Theory live! Google+ Hangout should start about 8:45am PST and building will start at 9am PST. Head over to our Facebook page to get the Hangout link when it's posted. We'd like to apologize ahead of time for the fact we know nothing about the show, so if you're a fan join us so we know what the heck we're building.
It's guaranteed to be at least 53% more exciting than quantum theory as explained by Ben Stein on valium.
Bazinga!
Yes, we've managed to get our hands on the latest LEGO Ideas set The Big Bang Theory and we're going to build it live tomorrow starting at 9am PST. Join me and Mrs. BrickNerd as we speculate wildly about what we're building (neither of us actually watch the show). See you then! BAZINGA! ...or something.
We've got our grubby little mits on the entire series 5 of Mixels! Join me and Mrs BrickNerd as we build them live on this lovely Memorial Day holiday.
See you at 10am PST!
Tomorrow is special. Not only is it a vacation day as we celebrate Memorial Day with our families (at least here in the US) but it's also my wife's birthday! We thought we'd have some fun and build series 5 Mixels tomorrow. We'll start building at 10am PST.
So come on by and watch some seriously exciting building (ok, it's not exciting) and wish Mrs. BrickNerd happy birthday! See you then.
What better way to celebrate May the Forth than watching a couple of nerds play with LEGO and say stupid things? We're building the Red Five X-Wing Starfighter live starting at 12 noon PST. Join us in the Google+ Hangout!
Tomorrow is Star Wars Day, and we're going to celebrate by building Luke Skywalker's X-Wing starfighter live! Join me and my guest James Morr at 12 noon PST. It's going to be guaranteed 12-17% more exciting than waiting in line for Star Tours (well, at least the outdoors queue) See you tomorrow!
Join me as I build LEGO Star Wars T-16 Skyhopper live! Then stick around for the exclusive first peek at the new BrickNerd Studios.
UPDATE: As feared the broadband went down during the broadcast (Grrr Comcast) about 4:30 in, but it does come back on at 7:20. Sorry about that!
It's been too long since I've built live, so tomorrow I'm going to fix that. It's been a crazy busy couple of weeks moving into and setting up the new BrickNerd Studios. But the dust is finally settling and it's time to do the first LiveBuild in the new place. Join me tomorrow at 11:00am PST while I build the new T-16 Skyhopper and when it's done I'll give a virtual tour and exclusive first look at the new studio. See you then!
Join me and James "SpastikChuwawa" Morr as we build LEGO 76042 SHIELD Helicarrier Live!
Building starts at 10am PST so pop some popcorn, get the kids and grandparents and settle in for a seriously long build. We're not sure we'll complete it today, but we'll have fun trying!
See you soon.
Hey Marvel fans, guess what we have! That's right, I managed to get my grubby little mits on a helicarrier and we're going to build it live tomorrow (or at least most of it).
Join me and James Morr of SpastikChuwawa fame as we mess up step after step of this beast. Guaranteed to be 27% more exciting than that brunch you were supposed to be at. Building begins 10am PST. See you there!
Hey sports fans, are you ready to rumble? There is no pre-game show that is going to be more exciting, more riveting, more Mixely (is that a word?) than the BrickNerd LiveBuild.
Join me and Mrs BrickNerd at 11am PST as we build LEGO Mixels series 4, see you there!
Yes, the Super Bowl is tomorrow, and while you're arranging your chip bowls and getting ready to grill burgers join us live while we build Mixels Series 4. It'll be a way better pre game than the NFL can do, there's only so much Terry Bradshaw and Budweiser commercials you can take you know. We'll start at 11am PST, see you then!
Join BrickNerd Nerd-In-Chief Tommy Williamson and Mrs BrickNerd as they build the latest LEGO Ideas set, Birds
Guaranteed 10% more exciting than watching grass grow.
Build starts at 9am PST, Join us!
Yes, it's been a little while since we've done a LiveBuild, hectic schedules is my only excuse. But we have the latest LEGO Ideas set in possession and we're dying to build it and share with you. Join me and Mrs. BrickNerd tomorrow at 9am PST while we build some birds!
That's right block stacking fans, we're building the new LEGO Minecraft sets live!
Join me and my special guests at 10am PST
It's like watching paint dry, without the fumes!
Yes, we've managed to get our grubby little paws on the new Minecraft sets and we're going to build at least one live starting at 10am PST.
Join me, my son, Mrs BrickNerd and probably some Starbucks coffee and as we try to make building marginally more exciting than say, collating plastic spoon purchase orders from three years ago.
See you tomorrow!
BrickCon is over, but I'm spending some extra time in Seattle with the great Iain Heath. We and a few other AFOLs are going to do a LiveBuild from Iain's house, the Jellydome, starting at 5pm PST tonight!
Join us as we build...something (we're deciding what to build now)
We have all nine series 3 Mixels and they aren't going to build themselves. Join me and Mrs. BrickNerd live starting at 10am PST. Guaranteed to be 27% more exciting than your uncle Carl's stories of working at a fabric store.
Today we are joined by Katie Walker who shares the steps of creating a LEGO cheese slope mosaic that almost looks like a stained glass window.
What is a LEGO cheese slope and how can you tessellate them to make patterns that dazzle and amaze? This tutorial will teach you everything you need to know about cheese slope mosaics.
Can LEGO Botanical sets be used as “tree battle packs”? Yes! Here’s how to transform 10373 Mini Bonsai Trees into minifig-scale trees for all your MOC needs.
August is here with a fresh selection of LEGO contests and challenges. Don’t miss your chance to build a MOC and maybe even win some awesome LEGO prizes. With Frogust, Paradisa, and even some stop-motion in the mix, there’s plenty of inspiration to start building!
Sometimes the best LEGO projects solve problems nobody actually has. Follow the design of the Kong-o-Matic 2000, a motorized machine that plays LEGO Donkey Kong so you don’t have to!
Now you can build your own iconic upscaled LEGO tree! Instructions are available right here on BrickNerd and in BrickJournal’s most recent issue.
From color palettes to clever part choices, building LEGO Pokémon at minifig scale takes skill and a sharp eye for detail. We chat with Radioactive Cheese about how he brings his Pokédex to life.
