I found this nice little LEGO vignette from Nannan (one of my favorite LEGO builders) the other day. The idea is very creative, and there are also some very useful LEGO building techniques to check out, especially the construction of the Christmas tree. So let’s take a look! 🙂

LEGO Christmas Ninja Style by Nannan

Here you can see Lloyd, Jay and Kai, three of the ninjas from LEGO Ninjago, dreaming about what they would like for Christmas. In the meantime, Sensei Wu, dressed as Santa, places some present under the tree (including a baby golden dragon for Lloyd – very cute). Now see the video below where Nannan shares some of the interesting building techniques.

I found the construction of the LEGO Christmas tree very impressive. It is not easy to build realistic LEGO trees in the first place (we have addressed the subject previously – see links at the end of this post), and building such a cute tree in such a small scale requires some serious design skills. Also, I like that the tree is very sturdy and won’t fall apart easily, plus it doesn’t require a whole lot of parts. This is a tree-design that you could use not just for Christmas trees, but also for other trees in your LEGO creations. If you need some LEGO tree elements you can find them at the Pick-A-Brick section of the Online LEGO Shop.

2014 LEGO Star Wars sets more details

Although the 2014 LEGO Star Wars sets won’t be available until March (at least in the USA), LEGO has updated the official LEGO Star Wars website with description and images of all of the 2014 LEGO Star Wars sets, along with short videos on each of them in action. It is worth checking them out! 🙂

2014 LEGO Star Wars Sets

We have already talked about the LEGO Star Wars MicroFighters sets (see: 2014 LEGO Star Wars MicroFighters), so I won’t repeat the information here, just want to mention that it is worth checking out the videos. They make the MicroFighters look really fun.

LEGO Star Wars Micro Fighters

Then there are four 2014 LEGO Star Wars battle-packs: the #75034 LEGO Star Wars Death Star Troopers, the #75035 LEGO Star Wars Kashyyyk Troopers, the #75036 LEGO Star Wars Utapau Troopers, and the #75037 LEGO Star Wars Battle on Saleucami.

2014 LEGO Star Wars Minifigures

There are also nine 2014 LEGO Star Wars regular sets: the #75038 LEGO Star Wars Jedi Interceptor, the #75039 LEGO Star Wars V-Wing Starfighter, the #75049 LEGO Star Wars General Grievous’ Wheel Bike, the #75041 LEGO Star Wars Vulture Droid, the #75042 LEGO Star Wars Droid Gunship, the #75043 LEGO Star Wars AT-AP, the #75044 LEGO Star Wars Droid Tri-Fighter, the #75045 LEGO Star Wars Republic AV-7 Anti-Vehicle Cannon, and the #75046 LEGO Star Wars Coruscant Police Gunship.

Again, the 2014 LEGO Star Wars sets won’t be available until March (my understanding is that this is the first time the January release of LEGO Star Wars sets have been delayed – due to the early February launch of The LEGO Movie). However you can check out the currently available LEGO Star Wars sets at the Online LEGO Shop.
