The LEGO community is lucky to have so many blogs, magazines and channels that create amazing content about our hobby. At BrickNerd, we celebrate getting nerdy about the bricks! This past month, we’ve explored Norway and Denmark and visited Paris, Los Angeles and Louisville. We’ve learned about Braille Bricks, the dark arts, horses, molding, clear plastic, the history of LEGO and more! In fact, we’ve included an interactive calendar of all our articles at the bottom of this post so you can make sure you didn’t miss a thing.

But there are many more fascinating stories to be told from within the LEGO community, so here are some of the best LEGO articles that caught our contributors’ attention throughout the month of January. We applaud the effort that went into each of these features, so click on the headlines or photos to head to each story or video. They are well worth your time!
