In honor of our 9th birthday, we are giving away some presents! We will select three people who support BrickNerd and either become or are existing Patrons or have made a one-off donation of at least $5 by the end of the month to receive a brick-built Nerdly. Time’s running out!

You can join our Patreon here or make a one-time donation by clicking the yellow donate button below. Any and all contributions, no matter the amount, are appreciated as they truly help us continue providing the best quality LEGO content we can.

BrickNerd is a passion project for the more than 45 dedicated international AFOLs who have contributed to its reboot by writing articles in their spare time. That number more than doubles to 100 people if you include all our guest contributors and donors who have each dedicated time and effort to help BrickNerd succeed. But we need your help too.

How You Can Celebrate With Us

Internally, we have a few guiding principles for the new BrickNerd: Community over consumerism, story over scoops, and people over products. You’ve probably noticed by now that we don’t post many news articles about upcoming sets, rumors about products, or excessive clickbait headlines with tons of embedded affiliate links. We don’t even have much display advertising to keep the focus on the articles rather than distract you while you read. BrickNerd exists to celebrate the LEGO community—not to make money.

So how can you help us celebrate our birthday? By becoming a BrickNerd Patron, of course! We want to continue giving back to the community by writing high-quality articles, conducting research into LEGO topics on your behalf, sponsoring LEGO conventions, hosting building contests with cool prizes, and making some amazing swag to share—all while NOT shoving lots of ads in your faces.

We want to keep drawing on the expertise in the community to get nerdy and talk about building, sorting, transporting, lighting, photographing, collecting, buying, and customizing LEGO. We want BrickNerd to continue being a place to come together as a community and celebrate the culture of building LEGO. With your help, we can continue doing all this and more.

There are TONS of perks of becoming a BrickNerd Patron too like swag, access to our private Discord, joining us on video calls, and even chromed LEGO elements! So what are you waiting for!?

Any Support Helps

If Patreon is out of your reach but you still want to support BrickNerd, you can follow us on Instagram and Facebook, share our articles with your friends and groups, leave encouraging comments, or use our affiliate links when you shop at LEGO or Amazon. We really appreciate the support.

Happy Birthday, Nerdly!
