One good turn deserves another! The Volkswagen Camper Van is back again, this time with a new coat of paint and fitted out for a beach trip! We couldn't be more stoked - Surf's Up!   Light My Bricks has a lot of fond memories when it comes to VW auto sets. The T1 Camper was one of our first ever light kits, followed shortly by The VW Beetle. Back then LMB hadn’t develop more advanced components like our NC Push Board or Flicker Effects Board, so in comparison to more up to date kits, it may look a bit more stripped back! However the fundamentals of a great light kit are all there with th ..read more

There appears to be no limit to LEGO's innovation when it comes to new products - and all of these newly developed helmets are no exception!

LEGO first launched the all new concept in April last year with the Boba Fett, Storm Trooper and Tie Fighter Pilot helmets. An awesome innovation that saw them follow up quickly with the equally iconic Iron M ..read more

Well, Rome wasn't built in a day - and neither was our new light kit for the LEGO Expert Creator Colosseum!   Light My Bricks fans have been asking since the sets release "will you design a light kit for the Colosseum?" and "when is the light kit for the Colosseum going to be released?!". We're proud to say the wait is finally over and the historical Roman LEGO landmark is now lit. The extended delay from LEGO set release and light kit availability was the result of a few different factors. First, when the LEGO announced the set back in November of last year, it wasn't obvious to our te ..read more

"Follow the light to a truly moving experience.' - LEGO. The LEGO Motorised Lighthouse #21335 was a truly welcome surprise after a string of movie and game-inspired sets.

It’s for this reason that the LEGO Ideas series consistently produces some of our favourite sets! With a hefty 2065 LEGO pieces in the set, it's one of the biggest LEGO set ..read more

LEGO Ferrari 488 GTE “AF Corse #51” Review & Lighting Journal

It seems the team at LEGO can read our minds from time to time over here at LMBHQ. Just when we were starting to mumble about wanting a new auto project to work on, LEGO goes ahead and announces the TECHNIC Ferrari 488 GTE ‘AF Corse #51’ An awesome looking TECHNIC set, the GTE appears to contain the same level of amazing detail as a Supercar, such as Lamborghini Sian or the Porsche 911 GT3 - just at a smaller scale, which helps with build time... and with the wallet! At a reasonable piece count of 1677 our team had the GTE built in around 5 hours total, though a chunk of that was taken up app ..read more
