March came along, and just like spring, it laid fertile ground for a host of interesting articles, fascinating features, insightful deep dives, and eye-catching videos from all across the LEGO community. We are lucky to have this many outlets and channels that keep creating incredible content, and these are the best of the month.

Here on BrickNerd, we found missing Star Wars minifigs and learned about maxi-figs. We posted instructions for some charming daffodils and for a rainbow leprechaun. We shared how to start building Bionicle, organize your collection, and build backgrounds for photos. We’ve chatted with builders about laptop drafts, sources of inspiration in space, and character building. We even highlighted Johnny Thunder, a moving Mario, and pop art in Paris. In fact, we’ve published so many interesting articles in March, 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 and videos 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!
