LEGO Speed Champions 77242 – 77251 Formula One car collection: is this peak Speed Champions? [Review]

Next week, the Formula One teams will emerge from their bases and hit the track for the first time in almost three months, with pre-season testing preceding the season-opening Australian Grand Prix. What better time, then, for LEGO to launch not one, not two, not even three – but 10 (yes, count them, ten!) F1 cars than on March 1st? These form part of a wider tie-in between the Danish brick company and the world’s premier motorsport series. All ten current constructors are represented, and with part counts ranging between 242 and 275, they can be pre-ordered now with an RRP of US $26.99 | CAN $34.99 | UK £22.99 each. On the surface, they all appear very similar – but are they? Will one stand out to take the chequered flag ahead of all the others? Or will the racing margins be too tight to call a winner? Read on as we build all 10 to find out!

LEGO 10362 French Café – a slice of Paris [Review]

LEGO’s focus on deep building experiences for adults really took off with the debut of the Modular line in 2007 and Architecture one year later. With LEGO Icons 10362 French Café, the first set in a new Restaurants of the World subtheme, LEGO seems to be splitting the difference between intricate diorama detail and shelf-ready display piece. For whom does this slice of the Belle Epoche toll? Does it toll for thee? Available now for pre-order, and shipping on March 1st, LEGO Icons  10362 French Café retails for $79.99 | CAN $99.99 | UK £69.99 on the LEGO website. You may also be able to find it through third party vendors on Amazon or eBay.

LEGO Art 31215 Vincent Van Gogh Sunflowers – And it was all yellow [Review]

The LEGO Art theme promises to give builders a deeper appreciation of great works through the guided creation of their own replica masterpieces. Van Gogh’s Starry Night started as an Ideas project and was soon followed by The Great Wave of Kanagawa by Hokusai and DaVinci’s Mona Lisa. For the fourth painting to get the brick treatment, LEGO returns to the Dutch Impressionist Vincent van Gogh with 31215 Sunflowers. Containing 2,615 pieces, it’s the largest LEGO painting in the Art line, and one that the LEGO Company worked closely on with the Van Gogh Museum for maximum authenticity.  You can acquire your own copy of this iconic work starting on March 1st for US $199.99 | CAN $259.99 | UK £169.99. Is it time to invest in a second Van Gogh for your collection? Let’s have a look!

LEGO Architecture 21062 Trevi Fountain: No half (stud) measures [Review]

Can you believe LEGO’s Architecture theme has been going for 17 years now? That would make it old enough to get a driving license in the UK! It’s testament to the diversity of the theme that in all those years, you can count the number of buildings to receive repeat sets on one hand. We can add another finger to that hand now, as 21062 Trevi Fountain re-visits one of Rome’s most famous landmarks. The first iteration of this set – 21020 – included 731 parts, but that number has now ballooned to 1,880 pieces in the 2025 version. It will release March 1st, but you can pre-order it from LEGO’s website now for US $159.99 | CAN $209.99 | UK £139.99. You may also be able to pick it up from eBay or Amazon, once it has released.

Ninjago City rises again with newest towering modular: 71837 Ninjago City Workshops [News]

With the release of the Ninjago Movie in 2017, LEGO debuted the first LEGO City modular super-set, with a new expansion following every two years. Today, as the fifth entry in the beloved line, LEGO announces LEGO 71837 Ninjago City Workshops. After the scenic Gardens and bustling Market, fans can now visit an industrious district where mechs are built and danger hides in the form of villain Dorama and his mechanical puppet. While this latest entry contains roughly half the pieces of the previous Markets, at 3,244 parts it’s still likely to be one of the year’s biggest builds –  one that packs in play features, innovative techniques, and oodles of Easter eggs. Ninjago City Workshops will be available to all on March 1st, 2025, and can be pre-ordered now for US $249.99 | CAN $329.99 | UK £229.99.

The Brothers Brick is looking for new Contributors to join our team [News]

Here at The Brothers Brick, we strive to bring you the best LEGO creations we can find, all made by those in this fantastic community. But covering all these great builds, along with plenty of LEGO news and reviews, takes a dedicated team of volunteers to keep our site running. I was once recruited by TBB using one of these posts, and we’re once again looking to fill our ranks, specifically with Contributors to help us find and highlight the best builds on the internet and social media, as well as elaborate on LEGO-related stories and news within the community. While all are welcome to apply, we’re especially interested in growing our ranks outside the US, be it LEGO fans from Eastern Europe or Southeast Asia. Non-native English speakers are welcome, and can offer TBB unique perspectives on the brick we all love. Are you interested in helping us out? Read on for more on the open positions at TBB and how to apply!
