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 visited BrickCon, Skærbæk and På Kloss Hold, explored Italy, Tatooine and beyond, posted the ultimate guide for LEGO Masters Challenges and found our own Nerdly on set in Norway. We learned about tiny themes, fighting robots, rock raiders and vinyl decals, and saw some sorting horror, cute creatures and Creations for Charity. We’re so busy that we’re even expanding the BrickNerd team! 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 October. 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!
