18 months ago, I began building my first ever LEGO cosplay, the ā€œLEGOlorianā€. I did not expect that it would lead to one of the most incredible opportunities I’ve ever had - getting asked by @lego themselves to make a trio of brick-built cosplays for Star Wars Celebration Japan. This is a project I’ve been so excited to finally reveal, and I’m super proud with how the suits turned out. It was incredibly challenging, but also incredibly rewarding to see it all come together. So grateful to have had this opportunity and I’m still pinching myself that it actually happened. If you saw these in-person over the weekend and/or got a photo, I hope you enjoyed the builds! #legostarwars #cosplay #mandalorian #bobafett #bokatan #darthvader #starwarscelebration #moc #legocosplay #afol #legomaster #legolorian

Presenting the world’s largest collection of replica LEGO lightsabers! I’m really stoked to finally reveal my expanded collection of replica LEGO lightsabers. This has been a project I’ve been working on for almost 3 years now, with my first ever LEGO lightsaber post dating back to February 16th 2020! Each design in this display is an original @built_bricks creation, with the one exception being the official ā€œLuke’s Lightsaberā€ set in the top left corner. There are 60 different hilt designs featured in this display, with 77 individual pieces total (some designs have multiple build variations). There are around 30k pieces in this display, all of which are 100% genuine LEGO. Each & every hilt has been taken from some form of Star Wats media, with some definitely more obscure than others! It’s been a huge learning experience for me and I’ve learned so much about not just lightsabers, but building techniques and approaches to set design. Thank you once again to everyone who has supported this series through comments, shares, suggestions, DMs, & instruction purchases. I wouldn’t have been able to develop this series without the support of the LEGO community on here and I’m really appreciative that you guys are enjoying these designs as much as I enjoy making them. If you want to build any of the hilt-only variants, you can find instructions on the @brick.vault web store, as well as some on my personal Rebrickable page. The bladed variants are available as custom sets through @brickerbuilds , though some shown here are currently unreleased - keep an eye out for those ones in future! Links to all product listings can be found in my bio.

I can’t thank @brickhyk enough for this gift! He’s taken my mini LEGO Luke Skywalker lightsaber and 3D printed it in life-sized scale. And to top it off, he’s even added a blade. This thing is so cool, I can’t thank him enough for sending me a copy - if you want to make one for yourself, I believe he’s selling it and/or the print files for it on his website. I was also suprised to find he’d packed two bonus builds for me, which guessing by the parts is an upscaled mini-build of an X-Wing and TIE Fighter. So I’ll be sure to update with a video putting those together! #lightsaber #lego #3dprinting #legostarwars #popculture

Part 1 of my @yolopark.official AMK Mini review was interrupted by my cat Brie, I hope you enjoy it anyway šŸ˜‚ The Yolopark AMK minis combine Transformers with the building style of Bionicles to create some really fun little action figures. I bought all of Wave 1 last year which got me into the series, and Yolopark have been kind enough to send me all of Wave 2 to take a look at. I’ll be taking more of a look at the build experience in Part 2, so make sure to like and follow for that! You can also use code BUILTBRICKS to get 5% off Yolopark AMK kits šŸ”— #yolopark #transformers #hotrod #toyreview #cat

With 1480 pieces, you too can build your own wearable LEGO Magneto Helmet! 🧲 Though I think my first version of this back in 2024 wasn’t too bad, I’m much happier with this redesign. It’s much less of a bucket now and sits much more comfortably on the head. Definitely worth the effort to redesign it I think! šŸ’ŖšŸ§± If you’d like to build one of these for yourself, you can find instructions on my website, Open Studs, and Rebrickable šŸ”— #magneto #lego #xmen #popculture #cosplay

Another helmet build finished in just 3 days! šŸ§±šŸ’Ŗ I’m really happy with how this has turned out, especially the purple trim around the outside as that’s key to making the whole thing work. Stay tuned for the full wearable reveal! 🧲 #magneto #lego #xmen #popculture #cosplay

You know what a Day 2 video means, it’s head slap-band time again šŸ˜‚ Today was all about combining the submodels created into Day 1 into the top dome of the helmet. I’ve refined this structure over the years to something that’s stronger than ever, and it makes my wearable LEGO helmets really robust šŸ’ŖšŸ§± Stay tuned for the Day 3 update where I add the rest of the pieces! 🧲 #popculture #magneto #legomarvel #cosplay #fandom

My third wearable LEGO helmet build for 2026 begins! And like Batman, a Magneto helmet is something I’ve done before, all the way back in 2024. I’ve now re-worked the helmet to be smaller, improved the overall shaping, and to use my upgraded helmet frame that makes it way stronger than it was in the past. If you want to build this new version yourself, you can find instructions on my website, or at Open Studs or Rebrickable šŸ”— #magneto #legoxmen #cosplay #doomsday #xmen97

Here’s an in-person comparison between the official LEGO Darksaber and the MOC I made for @brick.vault Whilst I think the LEGO GWP is a decent swing at the design, it’s proportionally off, and is surprisingly fragile. I think my MOC captures the proportions and 3D details a bit better overall, and it’s much sturdier model But which one do you prefer? Let me know in the comments below! #darksaber #legostarwars #mandalorian #legoreview #afol
