VERY interesting news from The LEGO Group at #ces today— the new “Smart Play” System with interactive light and sound bricks that react to movement and interact with NFC tags. Definitely looking forward to picking some up soon! What are your initial reactions?
Here is an up close video of Snoopy firing his Sopwith Camel guns. The plane is an old @Lego set (3451) but I added the motorized propeller movement and the flickering gun effect. The lighting board used was created by @brickstuff . Thanks to Rob and Barb for their help figuring out what all I’d need to light the guns. #lego #snoopy #snoopyvrsredbaron #legoafols #legoartist
Playing around with some tiny lights while building some #legospace sets. Would folks be interested in us making these? Personally I really like the effect!
Hiding the chaos behind the bricks.
When I light up my LEGO sets, I don’t want wires everywhere. So I built a “fake wall” to drop the wires behind, and at the bottom there’s a hidden panel that folds down so I can connect everything neatly. To make this work, I use USB adapters from @brickstuff /store/p288/branch24-2pk.html
Lioness Manor
Back in his home country again, Sir Lionel immediately pushes his steed (and his squire) to Lioness Manor- where the lady of the land watches over the road home.
More flexigons! This time with a summer vibe. Scroll through to see an :exploded view" of the individual modules in this layout. Lighting seems to be becoming standard on these castle MOCs for me now- it is Brickstuff- a company headquartered in my home state.

Today is the final day of World War Brick 2025! We have so many great models arrive we’ve had to add 20 more tables to fit them all! Thanks to everyone who has turned up and supported our event so far. Still one more day to see all the great models and one more day to raise the bar on our charity drive.

Long time World War Brick collaborator and local lighting magician, Rob and the BrickStuff family, will once again have a vendor booth filled with products and advice on how to electrify your MOCs. We also plan to have our first “World(WB) of Lights” event after the Saturday night charity auction (best lighted MOC willl be eligible for a trophy!). Thanks goodness we’ll have experts on hand to help make your creation a winner. Winners aren’t born, they’re built… and we plan to assemble the team to make that happen!
#brickstuff
We are so excited to announce that we’ve partnered with Minnesota’s own @brickstuff to bring their light and sound LEGO accessories to the Portland metro! Couldn’t resist playing around and putting 4 of their lights in the recent Speed Champions Mustang Darkhorse. For the rest of May, spend $20 on BrickStuff accessories and get 15% off of a used set of your choice (consignment items excluded)!
Working on a big batch of our insanely bright Ultrasabers to fill orders for May the 4th— this is the 3D-printed shell to protect the hundreds of microscopic LEDs inside the saber. #lego #legolights #legoafol #legostarwars #legostarwarsminifigures #darthvader #lightsaber
