Read MoreLong time readers know how much we love swag around here. From the very early days of BrickNerd there’s always been plenty of custom printed badge and Nerdly bricks on hand to give away. And through the years we’ve had t-shirts, glasses, lanyards and all manner of silliness printed specifically to give away. Some say it’s promotion (and for tax purposes it is) but I’ve personally always thought of them as “thank-you’s”. Thanks for reading, thanks for saying hi, thanks for watching our videos, thanks for sharing your stuff, thanks for putting up with me. And it all goes back to a single fateful day when I happened on an ad for a fairly new sticker company called Sticker Mule. They were offering custom die-cut stickers and that sounded pretty nifty to me so I ordered some. I was blown away by the quality, the speed, the order experience and the customer service. I quickly ran out at BrickCon that year and didn’t hesitate to order more. Since then they’ve expanded their services and we have jumped on board with just about everything they offer. We have multiple buttons, magnets, coasters, poly bags and even packing tape, all with our mascot on them and all of it makes this supposedly grown man far too giddy. Since I started my other endeavor Nerds&Makers I’ve been adding to the pile of fun swag in the studio. In fact I just got new circle stickers yesterday and I’m expecting a new offering from them any day now, charms! So if you’re in the market for some cool custom stickers or any one of their other offerings head over to their website. And I look forward to saying “thank you” to you all soon.
Like a scene out of The LEGO Movie Knights, Princesses, Cops, Robbers, Pirates, Superheroes, Friends, Ninjas, Jedi and more will converge upon one location to celebrate the one thing they all have in common - a love for LEGO. Hundreds of AFOLs and TFOLs have spent countless hours putting together their LEGO creations to share with the thousands of visitors who will marvel over their mastery.
Next week Wednesday through Sunday is the BrickWorld: Chicago convention and BrickNerd will be there blogging live about the best MOCs. Come find me (Philip) at the Knight’s Forest Castle MOC display to pick up some BrickNerd swag while it lasts!
I hope to see you there!
