Considering that LEGO is a Danish company, models of London buses have arrived with surprising frequency, with six large-scale versions released over the years, and a multitude of miniature ones appearing in models of London landmarks.
The latest one, 40953 London Bus, will turn up next week.
40921 Up-Scaled Blue Astronaut Minifigure is set to join the collection of 6-scale minifigures next month, a figure that fans of the 6x-scale models have been waiting for since they debuted in 2021.
As you'd expect, this one is much the same as its predecessors in terms of design, although the hip joints have been improved considerably.
There are just a few days left now to vote in BrickLink Designer Program series 10 but we still have a few projects to highlight. This article has been contributed by enowicki10:
I am very excited to introduce one of my latest entries into the Bricklink Designer Program Series 10, titled Deep Space Explorer.
Developed as the fleet’s premiere research and exploration starship between 1978 and 1987, the Deep Space Explorer is still at the forefront of cutting-edge technology today.
Bristling with a variety of sensors and detachable vessels, the Deep Space Explorer’s mission is to explore, map, and research the far reaches of unknown space.
Crewed by 1 friendly robot, 3 Pearl Gold astronauts, and 3 Dark Turquoise astronauts, the Deep Space Explorer is ready for any mission.
11376 Ford Model T was revealed last week and the discussion about it appears to have been positive on the whole.
We weren't sent one to review (which is fine, we receive more than we can handle as it is) so we have not had a chance to build it yet.
However, ex-LEGO designer Tiago Catarino has, and has just posted his video review on YouTube.
Unfortunately, he found what he believes is an 'illegal' technique that is stressing elements to breaking point.
BrickLink Designer Program series 10 voting has begun, so this week we are publishing articles written by project designers.
In this one, Lucas Michlik (BrickAndMortar) describes Rolling Dough Pizza Co.
Pizza is one of my absolute favourite foods. There's just something perfect about it. And when I was thinking about what my LEGO city was missing, it hit me: a proper neighbourhood pizza spot. Not some generic chain, but the kind of place with character, where locals actually hang out. That's how Rolling Dough Pizza Co. came to life.
The recently revealed gift with purchase 40885 Duck Family is now available at LEGO.com, free when you spend over $100/€100/£90 between now and the 24th of February.
BrickLink Designer Program series 10 voting has begun, so this week we are publishing articles written by project designers.
In this one, Lucas Michlik (BrickAndMortar) describes Sugar Spun Scoops Ice Cream Co.
Some builds start with a technical idea. This one started with a feeling.
Sugar Spun Scoops Ice Cream Co. came from memories of carefree summer days at the park, those long afternoons as a kid where time didn’t matter, colours felt brighter, and everything seemed just a little bit magical. I wanted this model to feel like something pulled straight from a childhood daydream: playful, exaggerated, and full of joy.
From the very beginning, I knew this set had to be boldly colourful. My first idea was simple but iconic, a giant ice cream cone on the roof. But once I started playing with that idea, it evolved into something much more imaginative. What if the ice cream was melting? And if it’s melting… where does it go?

Welcome to my submission the Bricklink Designer Program Series 10: the Dwarf Stronghold
The Dwarf Stronghold is a Dwarven bastion nestled in the snowy Wheldhyal Mountains. Its green stone doorway and golden doors herald the splendour of the Dwarven Realm. Before the gates stands the white stone guardian: Kir Dremdol, ancient protector of the Dwarf Lands. Can the ancient Dwarf rune powers bring him to life? Or is he simply a stone statue? You must decide.
BrickLink Designer Program series 10 has begun, so over the next week or so we'll be publishing articles written by designers about their projects.
In this one, Lucas Michlik (BrickAndMortar) writes about Autumn Riverbend Retreat.
There's something special about the places we grow up, the quiet corners that stick with us long after we've moved on. For me, those memories of a small-town childhood became the inspiration behind my Autumn Riverbend Retreat, a cosy seasonal build that captures the peaceful charm of riverside autumn days.
The botanical collection has been going for six years so, inevitably, just like Star Wars with its myriad X-Wings and Millennium Falcons, subjects are now being repeated.
40524 Sunflowers, which was launched in 2022 and well received at the time, now looks crude in comparison to 11502 Sunflower Bouquet, which utilises recently introduced foliage elements to create far more impressive and realistic helianthus blooms.
21349 Tuxedo Cat was launched two years ago to great acclaim among cat lovers, so it's perhaps not surprising that a recoloured version, 21376 Orange Cat or, as we'd call it in the UK, a ginger and white cat, is to be released next month.
Although it's essentially just a recoloured version of the black and white cat, some design improvements have been made.
LEGO Ideas has kicked off a competition seeking entries that celebrate Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters.
The entry requirements are quite specific, so if you're up for a challenge, and you know anything about Yu-Gi-Oh (that counts me out then...), head to LEGO Ideas to find out more.
The winning entry will be made into a LEGO set, sometime in 2027 at this rate.
The botanical collection continues to surprise, delight, and innovate and that's particularly true of 11510 Magnolia Branches which is the first to include dual-colour moulded parts that have been produced specially for the set.
A set of BrickHeadz has today been revealed at LEGO.com, bringing a new franchise to the blocky characters, 12 years after its last appearance in LEGO form.
The 567-piece set 40878 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Figures contains, as you would expect, all four of the reptiles and will cost £34.99 / $39.99 / €39.99 when released on 1st April.

Lifestyle images recently added to the Speed Champions 77251 McLaren F1 Team MCL38 page at LEGO.com have revealed a hitherto unseen Technic version of the racing car.
They have presumably been added there inadvertently: given the similarity between the two models it would be easy for someone in the company to muddle them up when looking at thumbnails.
It appears to be built to the same scale as last year's 42206 Oracle Red Bull Racing RB20 F1 Car and 42207 Ferrari SF-24 F1 Car and unfortunately it suffers from the same annoying problem that they do. We have no further details, but will of course let you know when we do.
View more images after the break.
Along with the botanicals, Winnie the Pooh and up-scaled astronaut revealed earlier today, a number of other sets have been announced as well, including Duplo Peppa Pig, a couple of paper bags, and BrickHeadz characters from the Pixar film Monsters. Inc. and Fortnite.
40861 Sully, Mike and Boo figures, and the other boxed sets listed after the break, will be available from March 1st. The paper bags may well be GWPs at some point.
11375 Ferrari F2004 & Michael Schumacher is the third in the series of historical Formula 1 cars that are modelled at a larger scale than Speed Champions, thus affording a higher degree of detail and accuracy.
That is certainly the case here: it's perhaps the best model of a Ferrari Formula 1 car to date, but it suffers from a major, inexcusable, flaw: one shared by many LEGO F1 cars.
Two new botanical sets have ben revealed today, one of which includes dual-moulded petals.
11502 Sunflower Bouquet and 11510 Magnolia Branches will be available from 1st March.
View photos of both after the break.
A gift with purchase that will be offered during the run-up to Valentine's Day on the 14th February has been revealed.
40886 Penguins in Love contains 278 pieces and will probably require you to spend £135/$150 to acquire it. We'll let you know when we have more concrete information.
More information about LEGO's partnership with Crocs that we first reported on earlier has now been published, including images that clearly show how ridiculous and impractical they will be.
Disappointingly, for those anticipating a new element for the accompanying minifigure's footwear, its shoes are simply made using a pair of plates.
