Public service announcement for UK #LEGO fans, double loyalty points from June 19 to 23. Yes, the weekend before payday. Yes, they do want to bankrupt you. Yes, you’ll buy things anyway. That’s how it works! (Don’t buy things you can’t afford, obviously.)

Today isn’t the most exciting New Lego Day…But this set commemorating Hulk’s decision that the best solution to Thanos is to drive a customised monster truck directly at him, but with Hulk acknowledging health and safety concerns so putting on a crash helmet is one of the best things ever. #Lego

If you're celebrating, Happy Valentines Day! And if you're not, absolutely use it as an excuse to build some Lego! Either way, have a great day! #Lego #ValentinesDay

This is such a great build, really looks fantastic. One of those creations where it almost feels like too much thought has gone into it. Just the fact the taxi matches Speed Champions alone is cool. But I really, reallyyyy do not want to think about how much it would cost if they made it! #Lego

This story is ridiculous, to save you reading it. For a start it’s from years ago, but it’s Lego using generic terminology that mechanics, electricians etc. all use related to identifying connectors as “male” and “female”. It’s nothing to do with Lego as a company, who are clearly not anti-LGBT.

@lollujo.bsky.social Sorry that Sega have tried to spoil the cruise! It’s a good job you’re nailing the Lego content. The videos were well made from the start, but the last few months it’s obvious you’ve got more confident with it too. Have a good holiday!

Probably unsurprisingly, my girlfriend also quite likes Lego. I don’t think she’d complain much if I got her a Lego set for Valentines Day. And even with that in mind… …I still don’t think this is a great suggestion for a gift idea, Lego. #Lego #ValentinesDay

To all the people receiving red weather warnings and are most affected by #StormEowyn, you know how there are lots of Fridays where you want to have a lay-in and then stay in all day building Lego, but you have to go out? Today you can do that. Look after yourselves and stay safe!

Star Wars: Outlaws Sabacc, but Lego. All aspects of that sentence are excellent so therefore it is excellent. (Not sure Chopper is delighted with it, but everyone else should be.) #Lego

A new annoyance: Some (quite rare) Lego minifigures have arrived at Brick Orbit HQ with a thin layer of what I can only assume from the smell is vape liquid. Maybe if you’re selling quite expensive stuff, don’t tip that on them? Fingers crossed they come clean and their smell can be removed!

This lighting is top-tier.

I’m sure lots of people have seen this before, but it’s still amazing and deserves to be shared. #Lego #Halo

These guys are going to cause a bit of a fuss when their sets release, aren’t they? It’s very on brand for the show that the image they’ve got has them surrounded by Duplo…But ignoring it to play noughts and crosses. Who’s excited then?

Amazing!

Been away being festive, but I’m here in time to say Merry Christmas to one and all, I hope a great day has been had by all. Anyone get any Lego? I bet one or two of you did. The Endurance has been discovered under my tree, which was lovely. And thanks all for being lovely on here!

My recommendation if you run an e-commerce business that sells toys (and/or adult collectibles) is to not have flu for the last week before Christmas. I feel prettyyyy damn awful, but all orders made it out of the door on time and will hopefully arrive on time. Phew! #Tired #Lego

I asked and such a thing did appear! This is a #Lego / #AFOL #StarterPack with some recommended accounts to follow if you love building Lego sets! (Or you at least like buying cardboard boxes and stacking them on top of one another and meaning to get around to building them!)

My suggestion was adding the Santa hats. My suggestion was excellent. (Especially D-O.) #Lego

Listen, I'll be honest...I have no idea what is going on here or why this will come into existence after January 1. What I do know is that I need it. #Lego #Spider-Man #Marvel

@yorkshirebricker.bsky.social Based on name alone I’ll be your first follower, since I’m also from Yorkshire. If it helps you get a foot into the community, we’ve got a starter pack here that you can use to follow a good few Lego accounts in one go: go.bsky.app/Nr9WSnP

If millennials stopped buying Morrisons Alcohol Free Christmas Puddings with eggs on toast they’d be able to afford a house.

Christmas scene in Lego #lego #christmas

Am I always going to share Lego posts from libraries? Probably.

Isn’t it a bit weird to have a cute Christmas jumper depicting a battle the rebellion barely escaped from in which dozens of allies and friends lost their lives…Just me? #Lego

Thing I learned from this pic: Putting your Winter Village on a white unit immediately makes it look better. If you’re not putting the whole thing on baseplates, this is an excellent way of presenting it.

This is so bad I’m compelled to repost it.

Not sure if this is a controversial #Lego opinion, but the sort of rubber or silicon capes and cloaks that very occasionally appear are much, much better than the cloth ones. They look better, age better and they’re much harder to lose, too.

Lego builders, which are you? And why? Both is an entirely acceptable answer! #Lego

It’s a Sunday but still a work day at Brick Orbit! Today’s task is to finish cutting out the high-res photos of Lego Star Wars minifigures, including a few quite rare ones. Hopefully on the site today! While I work, if anyone has any questions about the business or minifigures, ask away! #Lego

Lego minifigure orders packed for the day, a walk to the post office to commence shortly! Can I just say to the person who has ordered both Statler and Waldorf together: I appreciate you. Appreciate all the orders, obviously. But that is a fun one. #Lego

“Two studs back and one to the left” Amazing homework scenes. #Lego

Some more City F1 pics! For City builders, these have the bonus over the Speed Champions as they’re six studs wide, not eight. Ie. They fit on Lego City Roads. (Although I suppose you can just use Speed Champions and say you’re building Monaco and there’s no room for passing…) #F1 #Lego

Well, this sounds amazing. If you're far enough south to justify going to this, I think you should be going to this. Lego and beer*? And someone else is providing the Lego? This is amazing. *I read the description, drinking is obviously not a requirement. #Lego

I’ve not seen this one before, out next month. Not a fan of the buildable figures like this, but the wings definitely take it up a level compared to others… Pun not intended, but absolutely left there when I realised. #Lego #CaptainAmerica #BraveNewWorld

This is a lovely way to display the Lego Bonsai Tree set.

If you were only allowed to buy one, which would you go for? I’m expecting Wolfpack answers, but I’m saying the Hamster Costume!

Well, that looks ace. I don’t really know what it’s meant to be…Pub? Shop? Dunno. But the style is great. #Lego

Seems worth sharing! I’ve seen some of the pics from this Lego Photography exhibition earlier this year and they were ace. Stick it in your calendar if you’re in the North East of the UK! #Lego

Unsurprisingly since it ran in Women’s Own the year before I was born, I’ve never seen this Lego ad…It’s amazing, nailed it. (And yes, I’m choosing to ignore one or two of the shows selected. It was the 80s.) #Lego

The official My Nintendo Store's currently selling the Lego Zelda Deku Tree for £181.99, which is nearly £80 off its usual £260 price. It's also doing the Lego Mario & Yoshi for £80.49 instead of £114.99. nintendo-uk.pxf.io/qzn9yg (affiliate link)
