Rebuild The World – A Festive Rocket Ride
Inspired by the LEGO® Rebuild the World campaign, I initially had the idea for this creation last year. However, with working, covering all the latest LEGO news and building sets to review, I have found little time to build anything of my own creation – that was until now. So the idea was to rebuild something Christmasy into something else. One of the many symbols of the festive season is the Christmas Tree. Which just so...

Click & Snap: Snowflake Village 2019
For the last few years here at BricksFanz HQ, I’ve created a festive themed display, lovingly dubbed Snowflake Village, and of course it’s made from LEGO®. It features many of the LEGO Creator Expert Winter Village sets, released over the last few years, including this years Winter Village Gingerbread House. As the years have gone on, the display has become bigger and this year has even expanded underneath the tree. Plus...
LEGO Winter Holiday Train Powered UP
Like many LEGO® fans, I break out the various seasonal LEGO sets at Christmas to litter the house with brick-based festive cheer. This year is no different, but as I dressed the tree last night I light bulb went off. No I didn’t need to buy new lights for the tree, I had an idea – could I bring the Winter Holiday Train to life with Powered UP? I had recently purchased the Powered UP Passenger Train in the Black Friday...
Click & Snap: Stranger Things Will The Wise
The third season of Stranger Things has been available on Netflix for a couple of weeks now. It’s an incredible programme and if you haven’t watched it already, I highly recommend it. During the new series, Will Byers tries to get the gang to play a Dungeon & Dragons campaign. So he’s dons his outfit to become Dungeon Master Will the Wise. Inspired by this moment I decided to recreate Will the Wise using the new...
Building The LEGO Nano Gauntlet
This time last year BricksFanz received an awesome little promotional build to celebrate the release of Avengers: Infinity War. That build was a miniature LEGO Infinity Gauntlet, the weapon that Thanos used to destroy half the life in the universe. Now a year on, the second part of the story has been concluded with Endgame. If some reason you haven’t seen the film, what follows will be a spoiler. With those who had been dusted...
Amazing MOCs – Flying Kinetic LEGO TARDIS
After her debut last weekend, Sundays are now Doctor Who day. Although the alien Time Lord’s gender change has certainly been the cause of much debate, one constant is the TARDIS. Which has been recreated with LEGO® and combined to mechanical elements to create a pretty cool kinetic model. Built by Josh DaVid, who has a reputation of creating movement based LEGO builds, this flying TARDIS can spin through time and space with a...
Amazing MOCs – NINJAGO Rolling City
We like a good MOC here at BricksFanz. The level of creativity shown by the LEGO® community is outstanding and when this particular build popped up on LEGO Senior Creative Director Simon Lucas’ Twitter feed, I had to share it. The build is called NINJAGO Rolling City and was created by Mark Cruickshank. He has taken the amazing NINJAGO City set and used it as the base to create a vast tank like rolling city. It’s packed...
