It’s Star Wars Day!!!! And what better way to celebrate than to build the latest super awesome LEGO set, the Tantive IV! You may know it as the rebel blockade runner, or perhaps as the original “smuggler ship” (yup, this was the original Millennium Falcon) and we’re going to build it live starting at 9am PST. Tune in to either our YouTube channel or head over to our sister site Nerds&Makers’ Twitch Channel.

See you then!!!

BrickNerd LiveBuild - Star Wars Timekeeping And Holiday Polybags

BrickNerd_Live_Build.jpg

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?

BrickNerd LiveBuild - Creator Modular Poolside Holiday

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!

LiveBuild Tomorrow!

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! 

 
 

BrickNerd LiveBuild - Batman Movie Clayface Splat Attack

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!

LEGO Batman Movie Collectible Minifigures

The new LEGO Batman Movie Collectible Minifigures are out and TLG was kind enough to send us a box to check out. Here's a quick look at all the figures.

And wouldn't you know it, there's more than one complete set in the box, meaning we have a complete set just laying around the studio, a complete set that someone would be very happy to have, hmmm...

LiveBuild Tomorrow!

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!

1,000,000 Views!

I'm having a hard time believing it, but sometime between yesterday and today BrickNerdTV, the official YouTube channel of BrickNerd.com passed one million views! When I launched the website and the accompanying YouTube channel just over three years ago, crossing this threshold was not even a notion that crossed my mind. In those days I shot in my garage, and had to setup and strike in one day so my wife could park her car when she got home. Now I write this sitting in the studio that has continued to grow for over two years since I moved in. Thank you, thank you, thank you to all that watched, commented (well, some of you :-) and shared. I'm looking forward to making some more silliness to share with you, and I can't wait to celebrate the next landmark, whatever it is. I love you all!

BrickNerd Live Build - Caterham Seven

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!

LiveBuild Tomorrow!

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! 

BrickNerd LiveBuild - Disney Castle - Part 2

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!

BrickNerd LiveBuild - Disney Castle - Part 1

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!
