Great Scott in 357 Bricks, LEGO Speed Champions Time Machine from Back to the Future (77256)

By Bill Smith September 5, 2026

Holiday gift lists fill quickly with licensed toys, yet few manage to serve both the parent who still quotes the clock tower scene and the kid who just learned what 88 miles per hour means. LEGO Speed Champions 77256 Time Machine from Back to the Future does that job in 357 pieces for $22.49 (was $28), aimed at ages 9 and up. Finished size stays compact at just over 6.5 inches long, 4 inches high and 2.5 inches wide, so it fits a shelf, a desk or a mix of other 8-wide Speed Champions cars without dominating the space.

Marvel Recreated the Entire Avengers: Doomsday Trailer Brick by Brick, and the LEGO Version Somehow Feels Bigger

By Bill Smith August 24, 2026

Marvel just released an official LEGO version of the first full Avengers: Doomsday trailer, and the whole thing runs shot for shot against the live-action cut that dropped in July. Disney Consumer Products, Marvel Studios, and the LEGO Group built it together as part of their “All Moments Lead to Doomsday” campaign. Real cast voices stay in place, including Robert Downey Jr. delivering Doctor Doom’s lines. The result lasts almost exactly as long as the original, missing only the final countdown clock, and it pulls off a level of precision most fan stop-motion attempts never reach.

Turning the LEGO Game Boy Into a Cartridge-Playing Handheld is Possible, Just Not Easy

By Bill Smith August 21, 2026

In October 2025, LEGO released its 421-piece Game Boy kit, which is an almost full-size plastic tribute to Nintendo’s 1989 handheld. It’s near enough to the actual thing that the familiar gray shell, pink A and B buttons, cross-shaped control pad, volume wheel, and cartridge slot feel perfect in your hand. Two brick-built carts for Super Mario Land and The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening slide into the back, with lenticular screens displaying the Nintendo logo or brief animated images from both games. Buttons click, but nothing powers on or plays.

Building a Fully Adjustable LEGO Monitor from a Broken Laptop

By Jackson Chung August 4, 2026

An old laptop that had served for more than six years suddenly shut down mid-game and refused to power on again. Its owner, the LEGO builder known as Koenkun Bricks, recovered the hard drives without trouble and found them intact. Rather than scrap the machine, he decided the screen still had a future as a second monitor for his desk. The plan was simple on paper: free the LCD panel, give it a proper controller so it could accept a standard HDMI signal, and enclose everything in LEGO so the whole unit could tilt, rise, and spin as needed.

By Bill Smith July 21, 2026

Fans of the 1990s X-Files sci-fi series now gain a fresh way to revisit its world through bricks. A designer from Brisbane named Brent Waller first shaped the concept years ago as a personal project. He started with Mulder’s office during a rewatch in 2014 and later expanded the idea to include more scenes from the show. The submission won a spot in LEGO’s 90s Nostalgia Challenge on the Ideas platform, leading to this official release.
