It’s Star Wars Day!!!! And what better way to celebrate than to build the latest super awesome LEGO set, the Tantive IV!

Tune in to either our YouTube channel or head over to our sister site Nerds&Makers’ Twitch Channel.

The Grid...
A digital frontier...
Me and special guest James Morr (SpastikChuwawa) are going on the game grid today. We're going to take on Master Control Program and build the new LEGO Ideas Tron Legacy set live!
Join us at 2:00pm PST, and have your quarters ready.
It's December, and that means we're counting down to two things Star Wars The Last Jedi and Christmas (not necessarily in that order). And what better way to count down that with a LEGO clock or watch? Join me as I check out a new Stormtrooper alarm clock and BB-8 watch as build a couple holiday polybags. Anything that passes the time before Santa visits is a good thing right?
I've always had a fond spot for NASA and the space program, and the deepest respects for those men and women who make it happen. This new LEGO Ideas set celebrates some of the women who blazed the trail to the final frontier. Join us as we build it live starting at 10am PST.
Yes, it's been too long since we've built live, so let's do it! Join me and Mrs BrickNerd as we build the new LEGO Ideas 21312 Women of NASA live.
Building starts at 10am PST, it's a fairly small set so it won't take very long, perhaps we'll sneak in something else to build. See you then!
Attention LEGO nerds, sports buffs, Michael Jordan fans and shoe hounds, we've got a special event just for you.
Join me and Mrs BrickNerd as we build a custom Nike Air Jordan shoe LEGO model from bricksnkicks.com live!
Join me and Mrs BrickNerd at the BrickNerd homestead live tomorrow as we build something a little different. At the intersection of LEGO nerds, sports enthusiasts, Michael Jordan fans and shoe aficionados there is bricksnkicks.com. And tomorrow we're going to build this custom LEGO model they sent us. The build starts at 10am PST, join us!
Join Me and Mrs BrickNerd as we build LEGO 31067 Creator Modular Poolside Holiday live! We'll also be talking about our amazing trip to Paredes de Coura Fan Weekend and the wonderful country of Portugal (with a side trip to France)
Building starts at 8:00pm PST, watch for the hangout shared on Facebook and join us!
While we were in Portugal for Paredes de Coura Fan Weekend we had the distinct pleasure of rooming with the group from LEGO. One of those people was LEGO designer Tiago Catarino, and we learned that his first set was newly on the market. Well, needless to say we nabbed one for him to sign, and another to build.
Join us tomorrow at 8pm PST while we build it live!
Join me and Mrs BrickNerd live from BrickNerd Studios as we build the latest LEGO Architecture set, 21035 Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.
Building starts at 1pm PST and doesn't end until it's done, join us!
UPDATE: technical difficulties, please stand by...
Yes, you're right, it has been a long time since we've built live. But tomorrow me and Mrs. BrickNerd are going to break the dry spell and build LEGO 21035 Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.
Join us at 1pm PST for some brick clicking, architecture building action. Guaranteed 19% more exciting than organizing receipts. See you then!
Batman has many enemies, but none are quite so unusual as Clayface. I mean, how do you fight a guy made of clay? Well, come to think of it, bringing some water, a throwing wheel and a little patience might be an approach, but I digress.
Join me and Mrs BrickNerd as we build 70904 LEGO Batman Movie Clayface Splat Attack live! Building starts at 9am PST!
What better way to kick off a birthday than to hang out with Mrs BrickNerd and you guys and build? Tomorrow we're building the new LEGO Batman Movie Clayface Splat Attack set.
Join us starting at 9am PST!
Choo Choo! The holidays are here (yay!) and it's time to build another great holiday themed set from LEGO. This time it's 10254 Winter Holiday Train, and it looks fantastic. Join me and Mrs BrickNerd live starting at 10am PST!
Even Scrooge will enjoy this
The holidays are upon us, that means A Christmas Story is on all the time at my house, fires in the fireplace, holiday tea, wrapping presents and of course a holiday LEGO set or two (or three...ok four...).
So me and Mrs BrickNerd are going to build the new Winter Holiday Train live tomorrow starting at 10am PST. Come hang out with us and lets get this holiday started right!
I've only ever seen a Caterham Seven in the wild once, at a mall in Irvine CA, but I was instantly smitten. Of course I've seen Caterham cars on TopGear many time, but seeing it in person was different. It's an unusual beast, with a energy even when parked. Well now I get to build one, and you should join me while I do it. It's guaranteed 13% more exciting than watching bananas discolor in real-time. Building starts at 10am PST, see you then!
The fine folks at LEGO were kind enough to send me a copy of the gorgeous new Caterham 7 Ideas set, and I want to build it with YOU! We don't see many of these cool cars here in the states (unless you hang out in Beverly Hills or know Simon Cowell) so they're extra exotic here. I can't wait to build it!
Join me live tomorrow morning at 10am PST, see you then!
It's time for another round of Disney magic! Yesterday we started building the Disney Castle, and over the course of about 5 hours we managed to get just over half way done. It's a magnificent set, full of wonderful details and interesting techniques.
Join us today as we finish it. Building starts at 9am PST, see you then!
We're huge Disney fans at our house. We go to Disneyland several times a year, we're Disney Vacation Club owners and we can't get enough of Begal BBQ and Dole Whips. Obviously we're also huge fans of LEGO (duh) so when those worlds collide you can bet we get excited. Join me and Mrs BrickNerd live for the next two days starting 9am PST as we build the new Disney Castle. It's going to be a magical time!
