Here are the next 36 fan builds that could become official Lego sets.

My favorites are The Travel Suitcase and the Japanese Castle, though I’d be happy with many of them! Here’s the full list.

Don’t get your hopes up for a Zelda castle or the house from Up, as Lego has repeatedly rejected designs like those before. And since Lego’s new Jazz Club already has a pizza parlor, I’m afraid the amazing Modular Arcade might not make the cut.

How to make a working Lego computer brick.

Remember when this man brought Lego’s classic computer bricks to life by putting a working computer and OLED inside? I have bittersweet news.

Consolation prize: here’s a rough idea how to make one yourself! Also, they play Doom.

Help pick Lego’s first official Dungeons & Dragons set.

Lego recruited its own fans to design an official D&D set, and you can now vote on the five finalists by signing up for a free account. Winners don’t just get bragging rights, but also 1 percent of the proceeds!

I’m a little annoyed that awesome Ultra Mimic got snubbed, but I might add an awesome dice tower to my collection.

Just a harmless treasure chest.

Dungeons & Dragons is getting an official Lego set based on designs from fans — and those fans are telling Lego loud and clear that the Mimic deserves consideration. Over two dozen different Mimic designs have been submitted (out of 621 total entries), but I can’t get over how beautifully / terrifyingly Varghoss’s Ultra Mimic here comes to life.

Lego is releasing an incredible set based on The Office

It will be available for preorder on Friday for $119.99
