I went into this ready to say “bah humbug” to a $330 LEGO Christmas tree. I ended up with a holiday build experience that reshaped how I think about LEGO, value, and what really matters when you’re building together.
Read MoreFrom Scala origins to modern molds, here’s everything you didn’t want to know about LEGO’s most chaotic holiday bird, the turkey. Why is it as big as a minifig? Why are the drumsticks so weird? Let’s investigate.
Read MoreThanksgiving is about being grateful—and for enjoying food with family and friends. Minifigs may not need to eat like we do, but judging by these scrumptious creations, they enjoy it just as much!
Read MoreThe characters from LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 23 are celebrating Thanksgiving but there is a nosy neighbor on the loose. Join us on a photographic journey through a festive feast for the eyes!
Read MoreAlright BrickNerd fans! It’s Thanksgiving in the US of A, so we all know what that means, right?!? Tryptophan coma? Binge-watching football? Playing Pull-My-Finger with your eccentric uncle? No, no and no. You guessed it: A LEGO turkey MOC round-up! I hope you’re hungry!
Read MoreTraditions come and go. No one really cooks Christmas goose anymore and I've often wondered why, but after seeing this fully armed and raging turkey by Legohaulic, I have a theory. We humans take way too much pride in our domination of other species, and some day we'll get what we have coming when they rise up. In the mean time there's plenty of leftover turkey in the fridge.
We're thankful for many things here at BrickNerd, but by far mostly for you dear readers. Break out the bricks, pop a turkey in the oven and turn on some football (or at our house A Christmas Story and maybe some MST3K marathon)
Have a happy Thanksgiving if you're celebrating it, if not feel free to eat too much anyway!
When you think of Thanksgiving you probably think of relatives taking up all the parking out front, uncle Larry polishing off the brandy and what the heck is cranberry sauce anyway? Oh, and maybe turkey. For instance Tyrone the turkey, who skates, moves his head, flaps his wings and gobbles thanks to his NXT gizzard!
I couldn't have said it better myself, Dave Kaleta. Happy Thanksgiving and Chanukah everyone.
Everyone's getting ready for the holidays. Traditionally Thanksgiving kicks things off, but I was seeing Christmas crap in Michael's in August. Anyway, if you like football, drunk distant relatives and copious amounts of food, Thanksgiving is your day. And you only have a little more than a week to wait. Mr. Rancor couldn't wait, but thanks to DigiNik13 and this awesome picture, we can all look forward to a little gobble gobble.
