The ever-popular Collectible Minifigures are back, and this time they’re headed for the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Announced today, LEGO’s newest line adds 22 characters from Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, joining BrickHeadz like Harry and Hedwig and traditional sets like the Quidditch Match. Although many of the characters have appeared in previous sets, each character features an all-new design with detailed printing, making the familiar wizards and witches look better than ever before.

I love how LEGO bricks can be used to express and build subjects other than the usual way we see 3-dimensional stacks of bricks. Sheo pulls this off very well with a portrait entitled “Evelyn.” When I first had a look at this, it reminded me of an art form that’s so very familiar yet I still can’t put my finger on it — elegant and polished with clever use of tiny accessories or parts that seem to just blend in like that cutlass forming the bridge of her nose. While the portrait of Evelyn enchants, the Trickster featured below hints at an evil, mysterious character. The post The art of painting with bricks appeared first on The Brothers Brick.

I was finally able to buy one of these sets from overseas at a lower-than-ripoff price!

Here's the largest of the kart racing sub-theme sets to grace the Friends line this season.  Almost none of my viewers want to see anything Friends related, but I still like checking out some of the sets, myself!Video: LEGO Friends The Big Race Day set review! ? 41352Original linkOriginal author: theJANG

Thanks to a Brickset notification I decided to try out UK-based IWOOT.com and quickly discovered they offered reasonable shipping prices to the US for in-stock merchandise.  Since the global pendulum of LEGO fan pain & envy swung in Europe's & Asia's favor this season, I was happy to find a retail source for some of the Ninjago sets the Americas won't widely receive until August.  They didn't have the ONI Titan or Destiny's Wing in stock at the time I placed my order.  I'll get them later.Videos:LEGO Ninjago Dragon Pit review! 70655LEGO Ninjago Dieselnaut set review! 70654LEGO Ninjago Stormbringer dragon review! 70652LEGO Ninjago Firstbourne (Fire Dragon) set review! 70653LEGO Ninjago Throne Room Showdown review! 70651Update 6/24/2018: Added Dragon Pit.Original linkOriginal author: theJANG
