A hot category this year with some really good games for LEGO fans, we have minifigures online, we’ve had Jurassic World, we were supposed to get Avengers but we are still awaiting that but instead we got the game changing Dimensions. This was a big curve ball no one so coming and it has no…

We have another new award today, thanks mainly to Mark Guest. He created Blocks then, for reasons only a select few know, parted ways and created Bricks and Bricks Culture. Add to that Brick Journal and Hispabricks means we had enough publications to warrant an award. With this award both Adam and myself work for…

The more the years pass, the more I appreciate MOCs over actual LEGO sets. I find that the only limitation is your own imagination and this year has been another awesome year. I’ve had the pleasure of featuring some amazing MOCs in Blocks Magazine both in the Flickr Its and Showcase section. We have also…

We move on to an excellent category now. Our judges were tasked at picking their favourite project of the year from the LEGO Ideas selection.

It’s one of my favourite awards today as it’s all the sets I love, and boy what a year it’s been for big sets! Where to begin? Well, we got the Avengers Helicarrier – I own it but it has to be one of my least favourite large sets ever! We have also had two…

It’s the first weekend in December and it means we hit the big set phase of our awards. Today’s award goes to the best set from LEGO priced at £60 all the way up to a £100. This usually means (for most themes) the biggest set of the range that year and also begins to…
