This week is a big one for adult LEGO fans — it’s Pokémon launch day, two engineering-focused Ideas projects just crossed the 10,000 supporter milestone, and we paid a visit to Bricktastic in Manchester. Here’s everything you need to know from February 21–27, 2026. At a Glance: This Week’s Key Releases Set Number Pieces Price…
Most LEGO city builders spend months — sometimes years — perfecting the buildings, roads, and street furniture above the baseplate. The facades are immaculate, the modular buildings are perfectly aligned, and the streetlights actually glow. Then someone asks to see inside, and the whole thing has to come apart like a badly planned renovation. Underground…
Most builders spend weeks perfecting their exterior facades, sourcing the right blocks, and nailing proportions — then throw down a grid of sea lanterns and call it done. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Interior lighting is one of the most underestimated skills in Minecraft building, and it’s also one of the highest-impact changes…
This week is shaping up to be one of the most exciting in recent memory for adult fans. From a long-awaited Ideas set finally hitting shelves to the most anticipated licensing collaboration in years launching in days, there’s a lot to unpack—and if you’re UK-based, there’s even something happening this weekend that’s worth knowing about….
There’s a moment every serious Minecraft player experiences — usually somewhere around hour 200 of a survival world — when you realise that getting anywhere takes forever. Your desert mesa is 4,000 blocks east. Your guardian farm is buried under an ocean 6,000 blocks north. That’s the moment the Nether stops being a terrifying hellscape…
This week brought one of the most talked-about IP announcements in recent memory for the adult LEGO community. From the debut of the LEGO Pokémon line as large-scale display models to a BrickLink Designer Program vote that puts serious creative power directly in AFOLs’ hands, there’s a lot to get through. Here’s everything adult builders…
Building a realistic LEGO city means thinking about where all those minifigure vehicles actually go when they’re not cruising down your carefully constructed streets. Whether you’re planning your first modest downtown block or expanding a sprawling metropolis, parking infrastructure is one of those details that separates a collection of buildings from a functioning city. After…
Most Minecraft builders start with the same furniture basics: two stairs for a sofa, a fence with a pressure plate for a table, maybe a door as a vertical panel. These pieces work fine for your first survival shelter, but once you’re ready to design sophisticated interiors that feel lived-in rather than staged, you need…
Planning a Lego city without thinking about transit first is like designing a real city around buildings instead of people. The most dynamic, interesting Lego urban layouts start with one deceptively simple question: how do minifigs move between districts? Train tracks winding between downtown and industrial zones, bus routes connecting residential streets to rail hubs,…
Another month, another collection of incredible developments in the worlds of Minecraft and Lego! January 2026 brought us adorable baby mob overhauls, a jaw-dropping 1:1 Manhattan recreation, and the announcement of LEGO’s first Pokémon sets—not to mention a partnership that gave us £199 LEGO-themed Crocs. Whether you’re a master builder, a redstone engineer, or someone…
