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 visited the Philippines and outer space. We learned took a deep dive into LEGO plastics and a pool! We learned about setting the right scale, how to make timelapses and how to edit the background of MOC photos. We posted instructions for a pirate ride and some awesome brick-built desk warriors. We chatted about dragons, midlife creativity, fairy tales, oversized heads and a mystery mold. 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 May. 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!
