Katja (@palixa.and.the.bricks) highlights the same figs using a black background to make the rainbows pop. Her message is just as beautiful:

Acceptance and Kindness. Compassion and Support. Respect and Empathy. Community and Inclusion.

Those are the values represented in my pride habitats. Those are the values I wish everybody would live by. It would make the world a safer and a better place.

The rainbow stripes in this stack from Jessica (@dontbrickmedown) can’t be contained!  love how one habitat drips into the next.

giikei_mocs kicks things off with the silent protagonist, Gordon Freeman.  Built at a comparable scale to the recent Iron Man Mk3, Gordon looks slick in HEV suit (Mk4, maybe it was a Tony Stark design). Of course he comes armed with his signature crowbar. The builder promises instructions will come in the future.

Giikei also assembles the iconic Headcrab, seen both solo and attached to an unfortunate host. Depicting in FPS mode with Gordon’s crowbar is a great touch.

pakaru_builds contributes an energy-wielding Vortigaunt, a member of the alien species who would later go from enemy to ally int he battle against the Combine. Pakaru does a commendable job recreating the strange configuration of eyes and orifices of the Vortigaunt’s head.

The hideous yet tragic Nihilanth, big bad of the first Half-Life, is reproduced by deniko_productions. The builder perfectly captures the grotesque fetal head with its sharp teeth and a swollen dome to contain its vulnerable brain.

bionicleboss1 pulls double duty, building both a Xen Grunt and a a Gonarch. The former serve the Nihilanth. The latter is the final reproductive stage of the Headcrab and, an alien queen ready to unleash her brood.

v0r0x unleashes the aptly named Bullsquid. A toxic bipedal squid the size of a cow, you might want to bring more than a crowbar to fight one of these. The builder pulls off the alien design with a mix of Bionicle plates and newer constraction armor.

Finally, from builder  tr1butr0n007, we have the humble Snark. These self-destructing critters can be picked up and thrown like grenades, which turns them from nuisance to asset.

The builders in this Half-Life collab call it “Part 1,” so finger’s crossed we’ll see mocs of Combine synths, Antlions, Overwatch and more in the future.

Most of the Summer sets revolve around the core Friends group of Autumn, Ollie, Liann, Nova, Leo, Aliya, and Zac (with Paisley being oddly sidelined to just one set). While 6 different skin tones represented across 8 characters is great for diversity, it makes interchangeability a challenge. But I love a challenge, that’s part of why I customize mini-dolls in the first place!

Hi! I’m Llano, AKA @femmefromtheblock on Instagram. Last May, Pirates was one of the prompts for @FriendsBASH, a new custom mini-doll challenge I hosted, and I host pirate challenge @WeArrrFamily every September, so obviously I had to sift through the mini-doll pieces in all the new Friends sets to find anything nautical and piratical!

Avast ye, scurvy dogs! A pair of pirates hold two unlucky sailors at sword and gun point.

The first treasure I dug out was a new blue striped and bandana-print shirt for Ollie in set 42704 Heartlake City Grand Hotel. The set includes another male character with the same warm tan skin tone, Petch, whose head I used.

LEGO Friends 42704 Heartlake City Grand Hotel | 1,406 Pieces |US $149.99 | CAN $209.99 | UK £139.99

I put together a pirate captain using Nova’s nougat-color head which appears in most sets of this wave. I used legs from Aliya in set 42705 Cozy Fall Forest Cabin. With their white leggings, I appreciate the legs not being tied to any specific skin tone. The shortened arm comes from Autumn, the Friends character with a limb difference (she was born that way, but the amputated-look works well for a pirate). It first appeared in dark green in the 2023 Friends Advent Calendar, and now it’s in the Forest Cabin set. Every other appearance has been in light nougat, so it’s nice to have a limb difference option that works with other skin tones!

LEGO Friends 42705 Cozy Fall Forest Cabin | 1,229 Pieces |US $109.99 | CAN $154.99 | UK £89.99

To get the captain’s other arm outstretched with a flintlock pistol, I used a technique I recently discovered by wedging a mini-doll arm into a 1×2 grate piece attached with a neck bracket. The tattered cape both holds everything in place and helps disguise what’s going on.

LEGO keeps introducing new mini-doll leg molds and the flared pants are some of my favorites. They come in dark blue in several sets this wave, including 42682 Nature Glamping Cabin. The navy color made me think of sailors, perfect for a pair of pirate victims! Since mini-doll heads aren’t double sided, LEGO occasionally includes an alternate expression on a separate head like the “scared” look on the reddish brown head I used.

LEGO Friends 42682 Nature Glamping Cabin | 295Pieces |US $24.99 | CAN $34.99 | UK £19.99

The expression on the light nougat head reads more as “nervous” which is a welcome addition included for Autumn in set 42703 Mermaid Roller Coaster Ride. The red scarves are a recent mini-doll-specific accessory not included in many sets yet. It comes in the Glamping Cabin set, and you even get a spare! It also comes in light yellow and I hope LEGO keeps giving us recolors. Not only does the scarf complete the sailor uniform, it covers a contrasting skin tone, allowing this striped torso with a light nougat neck to work for the reddish brown head by swapping the arms!

LEGO Friends 42703 Mermaid Roller Coaster Ride | 864 Pieces |US $109.99 | CAN $154.99 | UK £89.99

If we dive below the pirate-infested waters, we’ll discover an undersea mermaid kingdom! Unlike minifigure mermaids, mini-doll tails are articulated, allowing for swimming poses or sitting in a throne. This summer’s Mermaid Roller Coaster introduces two new Friends characters, Serena and Azurea. In-universe, they are entertainers in mermaid costumes, a clever way to bring fantasy characters to the grounded world of Heartlake City.

A deep sea diver makes contact with a mermaid queen and her cove full of merfolk and marine life.

You’ll find enough lovely and rare pieces used as decorative coral formations in the Roller Coaster set to add color and whimsy to any underwater scene. You get the new willow leaf piece in satin trans bright green for the first time and a new rock piece in satin trans purple, though the bottom of the rock piece only comes in set 42693 Creative Flower Shop. The coral piece in dark orange and Ninjago/Gambit power blast piece in light yellow each make their second appearance after being introduced in set 10366 Tropical Aquarium! This is also the second time we’ve gotten the marine life accessory pack in neon yellow which pops nicely!

LEGO Friends 42693 Creative Flower Shop | 377 Pieces |US $29.99 | CAN $42.99 | UK £24.99

Our first mini-doll mermaid tails in lavender and the new warm pink come in the Roller Coaster with intricate metallic printing and dual molding to give the fins a satin finish! My mermaid queen mini-doll uses the first hair piece in the new blue violet color found in set 42702 Spinning Flower & Fairy Teacup Ride. The torso with metallic blue shell printing used on my tentacled mermaid also comes from the Roller Coaster. Her head and hair are from Astrid from the Grand Hotel set, our first time getting the Glinda hair in light yellow! The merman uses Leo’s standard medium nougat head, and the diver uses Liann’s warm tan head, both included in many sets this wave like the Roller Coaster.

Continuing the colorful fantasy scenes, I had to make some custom fairy mini-dolls using the new wing piece! Ever since 2017’s DC Super Hero Girls sets, we’ve been getting mini-doll wings in plastic film material. The Fairy Teacup Ride introduces a new hard plastic mold in satin trans dark pink! You’ll also find it this Summer in Gabby’s Dollhouse set 11214 Fairy Roller Coaster and Tea Party in satin trans light blue!

LEGO Friends 42702 Spinning Flower & Fairy Teacup Ride | 321 Pieces |US $39.99 | CAN $54.99 | UK £34.99

Tea time! An acorn and berry are served at fairy tea for their very special squirrel friend.

My Fairy Queen uses Aliya’s head and lovely new floral torso which appears in 3 different sets across this summer wave, including the Teacup Ride. Her white skirt appears in the Grand Hotel set, as Astrid’s gorgeous wedding dress. The other fairy uses the pink hair and flower head accessory from the Teacup Ride, Autumn’s head which appears throughout the wave, and a new torso for Astrid from the Creative Flower Shop.

Although formal gowns have appeared throughout the Friends theme, suits and ties are less common. The Heartlake City Grand Hotel gives us a dark azure groom’s suit for Petch, and a dark purple suit for the concierge, Valentine! The purple suit gives Joker vibes, but gave me the idea to make more niche DC villains, The Terrible Trio! The colorful suits (along with Fiyero from Wicked’s blazer torso) and some animal masks make for great mini-dolls of the Shark, the Vulture, and the Fox.

LEGO Friends 42700 Candy & Cupcake Ferris Wheel | 602 Pieces |US $59.99 | CAN $84.99 | UK £54.99

The Terrible Trio terrorize a pizzeria! Batgirl takes out the Shark with a deftly thrown batarang. BAM!

The poor Pizzeria employee uses an alternate “scared” head for Liann included in set 42700 Candy & Cupcake Ferris Wheel and the torso from set 42694 Pizza Truck. The new pizza box print and menu sticker come from that set too and inspired my pink and red checkered build.

LEGO Friends 42694 Pizza Truck | 190 Pieces |US $14.99 | CAN $19.99 | UK £12.99

Even though she relies mostly on 2017’s DC Super Hero Girls pieces, I had to include an updated Batgirl custom to complete the scene!

What do you think of the custom mini-dolls and scenes I created taking inspiration from the Summer wave of Friends sets? I included what parts I used from the new sets, but leave a comment or DM @femmefromtheblock if you have questions on other parts used!

Thank YOU for taking a look, thank you to The Brothers Brick for inviting me to write this article, and to LEGO for supplying the sets! I hope next time you see LEGO mini-dolls, you look at them a little differently and see the possibility of creating something unique with them.

Centuri Chan’s door knockers perfectly recreate their puppet counterparts and are hands down my favorite part of the build. If you want to see more of this build, you must first choose which door to knock. One leads to the castle at the center of the labyrinth, the other to certain death. No pressure.

Centuri Chan first built Jareth out of LEGO ten years earlier as one of their earliest character mocs. Last year, following up the builder’s incredible Alice in Wonderland display, Centuri built out the Labyrinth and other characters.

The lumbering Ludo looks great in bricks, the monster’s fwendly smile and kind eyes charming enough to melt even a heart of stone.

The gallant Sir Didymus and his steed Ambrosius also impresses with big Muppet energy, shaggy in all the right places.

Up on the wall sits one a goblin who looks pulled straight from a Brian Froud illustration with a spikey armor piece for its helmet.

Even the humble Worm makes an appearance with a perfectly-chosen minfig head and cleverly placed feather plumes as hair.

In an era of franchise movies designed to play it safe, Labyrinth holds up especially well today – a bold and messy film with a that is both a technical marvel and a dream to get lost in. Centuri Chan’s tribute is just the way to celebrate the film’s legacy – a passion project full of big personalities with a hand-made touch.

Marin built out the ship’s interiors with as much detail as the hull, with bunks for the crew, a galley, and an impressive captain’s quarters complete with an organ. There’s even a jail cell for oversized fairy prisoners.

Perhaps the most impressive feature it the ship’s stern that’s designed to look like a skull, complete with it’s own prate hat (with a smaller skull on it also wearing on a hat!). I love the rudder sticking out of the toothy maw like a blackened tongue. The skull motif was inspired by the Charon’s Chest from Pirate builder legend Captain Barbatos.

Instructions for Marooned Marin’s Jolly Roger are available on Rebrickable.

Seen in full, Meleys is truly dragon royalty, with nary a stud in sight, but oh so many spikes. Custom cloth works wonderfully for the leathery wings.

Pinball machines bring out the kid in all of us, hanging out in an arcade losing quarters and setting high scores. And the Classic Space era of LEGO sets appeals to so many of us who got our first LEGO sets back in the 70’s through 90’s. The Brothers Brick contributor Bre Burns hits it out of the nostalgia ballpark with a fully functional LEGO pinball machine called “Benny’s Spaceship Adventure.” She spent several months perfecting the design with over 15,000 LEGO bricks, including LEGO Mindstorms NXT programmable bricks to make sounds and count your high score.

Bre has kindly shared loads of details about her LEGO masterpiece, which stands over two and a half feet tall, exclusively with The Brothers Brick. Let’s pull back that ball launcher, flick those flippers, and learn more about this amazing LEGO creation!

But first, let’s take a look at the pinball machine in action as Bre shares its working features and tells us a little bit about the design process in our latest TBB video.

Technical details

The complexity of creating a fully functional LEGO pinball machine is rather mind-boggling to those of us who work mostly with System bricks. What’s truly astounding is that Bre herself is new to Technic — Benny’s Spaceship Adventure is her first major LEGO Technic and Mindstorms project!

Bre tells us that the pinball machine incorporates three LEGO Mindstorms NXT “brain” bricks (one “mother” and two “subordinates”) connected to each other via Bluetooth. These NXT bricks control 9 NXT servo motors, 7 touch sensors, 2 color sensors, 2 light sensors, and 2 ultrasonic sensors.

In addition, the game includes 7 sets of LEGO PowerFunctions lights, at least 10 9-volt PowerFunctions single-bulb lights, a 9-volt double-bulb flashing light, 4 M motors, and 1 XL motor. Light-up features are further enhanced with a 9-volt fiber optics element.

The entire pinball machine can run on three or four PowerFunctions battery boxes, but can also be powered using an old 9-volt LEGO Trains speed regulator plugged into the wall.

Even the bouncing bumpers user LEGO rubber bands (more than 30), and the balls themselves are LEGO! Bre used several LEGO Mindstorms steel castor balls, of which one to four are on the table at any given point in time (depending on your luck and skill).

Build process

Bre tells us that she first came up with the idea for Benny’s Spaceship Adventure after Emerald City Comic-Con (ECCC) in March 2017, and spent the next few months building the first version, with a “mad dash” to finish it ahead of BrickCon in October. She unveiled the current version at this year’s ECCC in Seattle, just over a year after she began building. Overall, she spent between two hundred and three hundred hours to design, build, and program the pinball machine.

For those who played with Benny’s Spaceship Adventure at BrickCon last year, we asked Bre about the differences between the earlier version and the current version. How did the design and functionality improve? “At BrickCon, it wasn’t very functional due to programming bugs and limited strength in building connections that didn’t survive the drive to the Con,” Bre tells us. “At the time, removing the tabletop (or playfield) was the only way to get inside and fix things, which was really difficult.” But today, the machine includes lots of little doors and drawers to get inside and tweak or fix things, as well as much stronger connections to improve stability during gameplay and transportation for display.

Bre entered Benny’s Spaceship Adventure in a LEGO Technic contest called “Amazing Technic Machines,” and it’s no surprise to us that her amazing machine won! LEGO sent Bre several of the components she needed to finalize her creation, including the parts she used to build the movement feature with Benny’s Spaceship on top of the rear panel.

We asked Bre what she learned from displaying her final version at ECCC in March. “At ECC I realized,” she says, “That, like most real pinball pinball machines, leveling issues, realignments, and periodic breakdowns needed to be addressed, but I was able to achieve my goal of giving a couple hundred people the opportunity to play it.”

Resources, software, & tools

But before LEGO sent Bre a whole bunch of free brick, she had to gather most of the rest of the 15,000 parts. How did she do that? First, she planned sketched everything out on pen and paper to help estimate what she would need. Next, she turned to LEGO Digital Designer, but that turned out to be rather inefficient, “due to the need to see all the physics in action.” Nevertheless, she designed some of the side panel artwork digitally before she began sourcing various parts from the LEGO Store Pick-a-Brick wall (“at least 20-25 cups”), BrickLink, and eBay.

The mosaic parts were created by overlaying a digital LEGO grid, created by a computer program that Bre’s fiancée uses at work, onto images. The program was then used to place digital bricks into the images to get the right looks and part-counts. Printouts were used as blueprints.

We wondered how she managed the cost of purchasing multiple NXT bricks. “I began purchasing the robotic components on eBay,” she says,”And kept with NXT because I couldn’t afford multiple EV3s.” Bre then used the LEGO NXT-G software to program the bricks, learning as she built by watching LEGO Mindstorms tutorials on YouTube. Here’s a bit of the program Bre built to run her pinball machine.

This early version of a flow diagram illustrates just how complex the interactions are between the sensors and other input devices, the Mindstorms NXT “brain” bricks, and the various motors and other output components.

Challenges & obstacles

Bre set herself a particularly challenging goal — use only official LEGO products. What impact did that constraint have on the process? “No gluing, screwing, fabrication, or modification of any of the parts, including balls, rubber bands, and even the use of the LEGO NXT-G software instead of another programming platform.” We watched Bre build and rebuild her pinball machine during BrickCon and ECCC, and continue to be impressed with how committed she has been to this goal!

She also tried to build the table itself as close as possible to a 6.5-degree standard pinball grade.

How the heck do you move this from place to place without it falling to pieces?! “I get asked a lot about this,” Bre tells us. “The machine sits on a custom piece of plywood and is moved as a whole unit. It can technically be broken down by taking off the tabletop (which is actually two parts), and sliding the faceplate (the Classic Space logo) through the top. But leaving these in place actually holds it together better, so I don’t take them off during transport. Honestly, it doesn’t transport well, because bumps eventually throw things out of alignment.”

Ultimately, Bre was fighting with the limits of the plastic medium and the laws of physics, which both proved the most challenging obstacles as the table flew apart repeatedly, hammered by steel balls in motion. But she persevered over nearly 14 months, with help from her fiancée Jessie, who designed the little control room and the platform for Benny’s moving spaceship, among other things. But LEGO is a global community, and Bre was able to collaborate not just with local friends and LEGO builders like fellow SEALUG members, but also people far away like Steve Hassenplug, who built one of the earliest LEGO pinball machines.

What is Bre the proudest of? “LEGO is meant to be played with,” Bre says, “And I wanted this to be an inspiration to young builders, so getting people to play it and seeing kids’ faces light up made all the difficulties totally worth it.” Her pinball machine is a wonderful marriage of functionality and aesthetics, with wonderful mosaics on the case surrounding an incredibly complex mechanical interior.

And what did Bre learn from this marriage of System, Technic, and Mindstorms? “Combining these elements is easier than some may think,” she says, “And that really enhances the build. I had only really used System until this point and learned how to incorporate Technic and Mindstorms by teaching myself from scratch. If I could do it, anyone can. It’s meant for kids, after all!”

Our thanks to Bre for sharing so much great information about her amazing Technic machine! See more photos in the gallery below…

The post Working LEGO pinball machine built from 15,000 bricks features Benny in all his Classic Space glory [TBB Classic] appeared first on The Brothers Brick.

As a master of unique character builds and one of the collab founders, tee_baum_bricks introduces Lord Lemmiwinks the Brave and his trusty snail squire Ronald Ectum. These two are very adorably prepared for battle, and we’re fawning over our hamster hero’s armor.

Matthias Freund offers a somewhat grim take on the little hamster, though a soft warm seat by the fire makes for a nice evening for someone else.

Trevor Pearson-Jones is no stranger to TBB features or unconventional builds, and the Hamsterhead Shark is nothing short of what we’ve come to expect out of such a creative builder.

Trevor has developed a habit of having more creativity than one build will allow (see his multiple entries for the Mega Poké-llab), and he fittingly introduced a second build this time around with Huey The Hamstropod. In a purist move for the ages, this furry snail leaves behind a slime trail of plastic LEGO bag trimmings.

The Hamster of Justice by Bushido Bricks is a S.H.I.E.L.D. classified hero with multiple powers and backstory deserving of its own Disney+ series. Check out the lore on Benny’s post!

In “Hamster’s Bad Day”, Thundrabuilds shows off a lucky mouse and a not-so-lucky hamster. We choose to believe he’s okay, but if he’s not, this could also work as a prequel to Matthias’ build.

justice_for_rosie_gold returns to the collab with The Hamstolotl, a bright and adorable hamster variation to offer some reprieve from the grimness!

Collab newcomer tinibrick keeps the cuteness and weirdness going with Dave the Hamsterhead in a parallel image that is equally trippy and mesmerizing.

In the crossover that nobody expected, Anderson Liu takes the hamster straight to Formula 1. Who needs a hamster wheel when you can get speed like this?

Hats off to all of the builders that participated in the #HamsterMadness collab! We can’t wait to see what you build next.

The best thing about such big builds is all the detail and easter eggs that can be squeezed in. And the LEGO Shedd doesn’t disappoint!

Let’s get a lay of the land first. It’s a bit tricky to judge from here, but by my rough calculations this is 250-odd studs wide by well over 300 long. That’s big!

All sides of the building are covered too. Here’s a minifigure’s-eye view that will be familiar to anyone who has ever visited the aquarium.

The outside is full of detail, including some lush gardenscapes. I particularly like the use of a Duplo figure as a statue!

You may recognise some of the visitors, especially in the car park outside! Is animal transport Mack’s side-hustle in the Piston Cup off-season?

Since this is a build designed for the exhibition circuit, many of the roofs have been omitted to allow viewers to see inside parts of the building. I love rays, so I know which bit of the aquarium I’ll be heading to first!

As with many aquariums, the centrepiece is the oceanarium where we can see dolphins performing tricks to the denizens of brick-built Chicago. (Should that be Brickago?)

As for the rest of the tanks, they’re displayed along the outside of the build, allowing just about every aquatic LEGO creature to be represented…

… And yes, I mean every one of them!

It’s a build truly epic in scale. If you can’t make it to Brickworld today, make sure to check out all the details in Matt’s Flickr album!
