We had a dream of finding an overlooked and underappreciated builder that we could share with you here on BrickNerd. These dreamcatchers by Vincent Sereks have helped us to find one.
Read MoreThe LEGO community has always pushed the limits of the LEGO minifigure when it comes to dynamic poses. But Guy Himber from Crazy Bricks has always looked to “break the mold” and grant new flexibility to customizers and LEGO fans alike. We chatted with Guy at length about his newest Kickstarter project “Crazy Legs” and how they might impact the fan community.

Read MoreThe first day of spring can feel like a breath of fresh air, a chance to begin again, and an excuse to spread your wings—the same three feelings I get from looking at Kelly Bartlett’s stunning LEGO butterfly artwork.
Read MoreWe interview builder Gerry Burrows and get a close-up look at his life-size LEGO mech that he can sit in and move himself, find out all the work that goes into making large-scale LEGO models, and discover his favorite milkshake flavor.

Read MoreLEGO fans manifest their love of the hobby in many ways—some collect, others build. But Lucas “Legorio” Peña makes LEGO a permanent part of his life—literally.
Read MoreWhen an AFOL thinks about a“con,” they may think of “friends” or “MOCs” or “games.” With this year’s Bricks LA virtually in the books, I wanted to focus on the nerdly little details that the Very Important Builders (VIBs) in attendance may have overlooked. This is the third year that registered BricksLA participants received custom con kits designed by Tim Heiderich. The development of these kits involves some head-of-the-class Nerd Skillz. Not just run-of-the-mill nerdity like NPU (nice parts usage). We’re talking archival research and city planning and font detail. Super-duper-uber-BrickNerd fodder! Put on your highest prescription reading glasses to learn more.
Read MoreThe LEGO community encompasses many people from designers in Billund to builders far and wide and thousands of enthusiasts in between. At LEGO fan conventions, you get a good cross-section of where all these people come together with builders, photographers, resellers, printers, and engravers sharing their passion projects. One of the frequent faces at these events is Guy Himber of Crazy Bricks who I got nerdy with chatting about his recent project of prehistoric proportions, Dino Dudes.
Read MoreToday we get the chance to meet Ray Jacobs. Ray is an AFOL of the ’80s—which can be clearly seen in his work. From the infamous Mad Max car to the Ford Falcon Pursuit Special to his Fozzie Bear’s 1951 Studebaker, Ray is no stranger to classic cars. Combine that with his love for ambulances, busses and fire trucks, and you have the perfect setup for his newest build, a gorgeous 1920’s antique fire truck.
