The only thing worse than 'Floor is Lava' is probably 'Floor is LEGO Brick'. LEGO bricks are famously torturous to step on. The studs, the sharp corners, the unforgiving plastic, all of these combine into creating something that feels like modern day torture. Step on a lego brick with enough body-weight and that thing practically digs into your tissue, causing probably one of the most painful experiences according to the internet. However, what if there was a 'right' way of stepping on LEGO bricks?
My two sons and I have a few holiday traditions: baking cookies, decorating the apartment, and putting together seasonal LEGO sets. It's an activity we can do as a family, and the results make for a beautifully festive decoration. This year, I'm buying the super-cute LEGO Christmas Table Decoration set for $44.99 at QVC (I'm even buying one for my brother and his family).
There was an official 1,872-piece LEGO Back to the Future DeLorean for collectors, but it wasn't cheap. The LEGO Group has addressed this predicament with an affordable Back to the Future LEGO time machine set that costs just $28, which is nearly one-eighth of the price of the previous one. The set can be pre-ordered right now with release slated for 1 January 2026.
LEGO has given us the McLaren P1, the Ferrari Daytona SP3, and countless Formula 1 cars that look stunning on display. But there's always been one glaring omission in the brand's racing lineup: the steering wheel itself. Now, a first-time creator named Vince_GT has filled that void with a 1:1 scale sim racing wheel that transforms LEGO's passive racing collection into something you can actually grip, shift, and play with.
I haven't owned it (although I might after writing this story), but I have been the proud owner of a similarly constructed Squishmallow, and the top portion of hair on these designs is both fluffy and soft. Your very own Sasquatch, complete with wee footprints, and at more than half off the normal price. The 20-inch Squishmallows are jumbo and work well as a pillow or backrest, though they might be too large to rest on your bed.
It's fun to dive into LEGO Star Wars or Harry Potter sets but once they're built, many people hesitate to actually play with them. They often feel more like display pieces than toys. That's why every LEGO fan should have a brick box filled with hundreds of colorful pieces: It's the foundation for pure creativity, letting you build, rebuild, and invent completely new ideas without limits.
Lego's Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse minifigure collection releases September 1. If you haven't preordered a mystery box or two, you may want to secure your minifigures ahead of Monday's launch. As expected, the Spider-Verse Lego minifigure collection has proven to be quite popular. Walmart is the only retailer still taking preorders for the $30 Spider-Verse minifigure 6-packs as of August 28. Amazon briefly reopened preorders earlier today, but those units were claimed in less than 10 minutes. Preorders are also sold out at Target.
The new Hogsmeade Village Collectors' Edition, set 76457, is the kind of LEGO release that gets both die-hard Potterheads and design aficionados buzzing. The set drops in September, perfectly timed for cozy autumn builds and holiday wish lists. For those who keep tabs on LEGO's forays into adult-targeted, high-concept models, Hogsmeade feels like the natural next step after Diagon Alley's blockbuster reception.
