In breaking Lego news this week…

1. Birds From Bricks

Thomas Poulsom has announced the release date for his upcoming book Birds From Bricks. This follows on in some ways from Lego’s extremely successful Lego Ideas kit 21301 which depicted some lovely bird designs including the red breasted robin and my particular favourite the Hummingbird with flower.

The release dates for the book is the 15th April 2016 in the UK and April the 1st 2016 in the US. The book is currently available for preorder on Amazon UK
& Amazon US.

Thomas has in the past used his love of Lego building to aid him in his quest for conservation and ecological stability, including building models of endangered species and championing their cause, which makes his book a particularly worthwhile purchase.

2. Hellicarrier in Taiwan

The release of the Avenger’s Hellicarrier by Lego in 2015 was extremely popular and helped to enhance the popularity of the already much-loved Lego Avengers series among Avengers fans and Lego enthusiasts alike.

Taking it to the next level however was Taiwanese builder Zio Chao who with his small taem of builders have managed to create a set that is more than twice as large as the offical Lego set, contains five times as many Lego pieces and looks absolutely amazing.

3. Deadpool Lego Parody

Lego fan Ryan Reynolds has launched his own mock-line of Lego Deadpool sets which Lego will be releasing later on in the year. His comedy is based upon highlighting the way that Lego sets can potentially ruin and spoil parts of films yet to be released and the capacity these ‘spoilers’ have of creating misconceptions about the film in fan’s minds before they’ve even seen it.

I particularly enjoyed his parody set of Deadpool lounging about outside his country cottage retreat.
