The LEGO community is lucky to have so many blogs, magazines and channels that create amazing content about our hobby. Here at BrickNerd, we celebrate getting nerdy about the bricks! This past month, we’ve visited LEGO communities in Ukraine, Portland, Las Vegas and the UK. We’ve celebrated women, explored Belville baseplates, built big, and customized small. We’ve explored karate, what AFOLs think of LEGO cons, debated sets vs parts and dove deep into a rainbow heart—not to mention our own mundane contest (reminder, deadline is today)! We’ve published so many interesting articles, that we’ve included an interactive calendar of them 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 March. 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!
