Something big is coming! In honor of BrickNerd’s 10th Anniversary, we are building something gigantic to celebrate our brick-built mascot Nerdly and bringing it to Brickworld Chicago next month.

That’s right, Nerdly is getting an upgrade! We’re building a Nerdly that is ten times the size as normal to celebrate each of the past ten years! (Well, actually it is 12x bigger to make the math a little easier in studs, but who’s counting?) Work has already begun on this behemoth and structural tests are being conducted to ensure peak nerdity.

We want to celebrate with YOU, our loyal readers and fellow nerds, so there are a few ways to get involved. In addition to the gigantic Nerdly, we are going to create the largest nerd herd ever assembled!

If you are going to Brickworld Chicago, bring a Nerdly along to join the brigade! (Here are the instructions.) We’ll also have pieces on hand if you want to help us build a small army of red Nerdlies during the show to go along with the big one. A few might pop up around the exhibition hall when you least expect it so keep an eye out.

But wait, there’s more! Every Nerdly is welcome. We want you to bring any and every Nerdly ever built in any shape or form. So if you’ve built your own custom Nerdly inspired by one of our Nerdvember contests sometime in the past decade, now is your chance to show it off in the Great Gallery of Nerdly! We’ll have risers for all of your creative builds to highlight the amazingly creative nerdiness this community has to offer.

So what are you waiting for!? Grab your glasses, start building, and get your nerd on because BrickNerd’s collab at Brickworld is going to be beautiful!
