Read MoreIn our first installment, I looked at pianos from LEGO Friends sets. In this installment, I analyze EVERYTHING else, from minifigures to keytars to Ideas and beyond. And after building some seventy LEGO pianos, I had to try my hand at creating my own…
Read MoreWhen did the first LEGO piano appear in a set and how did it evolve from being built with bricks to more curvy variations today? And what is the standard height of a LEGO piano built for a minidoll? Let’s get nerdy about all things piano!
Read MoreBrickolaje has put together a great little set of various Sci-fi vehicles for the cute pets from the Friends line. Each one shows the pose of it's respective pilot really well. He also built a hangar bay for the vehicles, check it out on his Flickr page!
Here is something a little different that I missed back in July (does this count as MOCstalgia?) I am not and never will be a fan of the Friends Mini Dolls. They just doing sit well with me. However in this MOC from Tyler Sky they seem perfectly at home. I love bold colours on space ships and cool design features. And just look at the backdrop. I wish I could hop into that Jumper and blast off somewhere for food on a blanket!
Ok so I've got to admit, I'm not a massive fan of the LEGO Friends sets (mainly I just don't like the figures) but SuzEaton has won me over with this chess set. Each piece is themed, including a skier, halloween witch, DJ and bakers. The queen piece is represented by a prom queen and the king features one of the Friends as a mechanic. I strongly suggest checking out the individual pieces via the album. This half of the board fits together with a LEGO Elves themed board built by Suz's husband.
Stephanie isn't going to take any guff from the First Order. Her and her trusty pooch are ready to dish out some starfighter whoop-ass in this specially modified T-70 X-Wing by Bricksky. Don't let that color scheme fool you, those quad lasers pack plenty of punch.
This is all kinds of clever. When builder koffiemoc accepts a challenge, he goes all out. These were all build for a revamp contest on lowlug.nl. He decided to build interpretations of LEGO 6350 Pizza To Go, and did so in the styles of City, Friends, Pirates, Wild West, Roman, Castle and my personal favorite, Star Wars. Yes, that sign is in Aurebesh.
It's a rare Saturday that I am at home. Usually I share my Saturdays at work with Joe Public, so you can imagine my excitement to have a Saturday off. Yesterday however, my Saturday off coincided with a BrickNerd workday (lets face it, every day is a BrickNerd workday, but I digress) so, what to do? Raid the BrickNerd archive shelves, that's what!
Read MoreAnne Mette V and her son Lasse have created this massive and thoroughly detailed animal park, with a central fountain, balloon ride, and circumferential tram. Check out their album for all the different venues. Lions, Tigers and Bears, oh My!
As we settle in for Star Wars Day Eve (that's a thing, isn't it?) I take a random glance at my Flickr feed and was delighted to discover this, the Friends Star from pricey73! It seems to be the absolute polar opposite of it's Imperial counterpart in all ways with the exception of shape. But really, who would build a giant space station that's shaped like a cube?
Halloween is upon us, and while there are the classic costumes like witches, cowboys and ghosts, there are kids out there (and awesome parents) who take it to the next level. For instance Elijah, Aliyah and Jonah here at LEGOLAND CA today. You can have your ninjas and transformers, these kids are Footi from the Mixels, a Nixel and Olivia from LEGO Friends, excellent!
