For Sydney's third LEGO® Certified store in Castle Hill we decided to make our giant LEGO® minifig a Conservationist cuddling some cute koalas!  We always try to localise our models to make them represent the area of the store and with so  many wildlife parks not far from Castle Hill, it gave us the perfect [...]

We are very excited to announce that Jurassic World by Brickman in Melbourne will be able to re-open from 6th November as the Victorian Government eases restrictions within the state! We are also extending our stay through until the end of January 2022 to try and give those who missed out during the lockdowns a [...]

For Perth's first LEGO store in Karrinyup we had the task of building both a giant LEGO minifigure as well as a mosaic for the store wall. Being the first store in WA we couldn't go past a chance to build some of WA's most iconic creatures- some Quokkas! When it came to building this [...]

We are super excited to be able to finally reveal some of the models we built for the new LEGO® certified stores opening in 2021! As with all of the stores so far we built one giant minifig model and a huge mosaic for the new store in Townsville. The builders, from left, Darren, Eamon, [...]

The models we built for the Canberra LEGO Certified store were actually some of the first ones we finished in 2021, but unfortunately lockdowns meant a major delay in the store's opening. That said, I think you can agree the store was worth the wait! For this store we chose to create our minifig posing [...]

After two years of designing and building, we were thrilled to surprise people at The Tan Track in Melbourne with an up-close preview of our latest exhibition opening April 1. The three dinosaurs we took to The Tan were Blue, a fan favourite Velociraptor, and two adorable baby Triceratops and Sinoceratops. The world-first exhibition features [...]

Happy Lunar New Year! This year it’s the Year of the Ox, so we’ve designed a LEGO brick ox you can build! In keeping with Chinese traditions we’ve made it from mostly red LEGO pieces ( with a Chrome Gold “One Ring” piece on the nose for extra luck!). But as with any of our […]

So back in 2012 when the LEGO Group celebrated their 80th birthday in Sydney and all the guests, including Kjeld Kirk Kristensen (3rd generation owner of LEGO) built some undersea creatures, including this LEGO brick Lobster Ryan designed!  After Kjeld and the Australian and New Zealand LEGO staff built them Ryan built a big fish [...]

As promised during of of Ryan’s last Facebook livestreams, here are the instructions for building a LEGO egg! This is NOT an easy build- it uses SNOT and complex plate layering to recreate the curves of an egg shape and requires using 106 LEGO pieces. None are super rare or uncommon, but remember you don’t […]

Dating back to the 18th Century Japan, the Beckoning, Maneki-Neko or Lucky Cat is a popular good luck charm and is said to bring good fortune and success! Our model builder Tullett wanted to build one for his Brickvention model as he has a growing collection at home and wanted to challenge himself using technic […]

When Ryan presented the Brickman team with the opportunity to build whatever that wanted for Brickvention, Mark’s mind went immediately to dragons! Titled “The Sad Tale of Sir Warick the Overconfident”, Mark’s finished LEGO model is dominated by an enormous brick-built dragon blasting a single unfortunate knight, Sir Warick, on horseback with its fiery breath.

Our original interactive Brickman Experience exhibition is back home in Melbourne these school holidays at Harbour Town Melbourne for the final time in Australia!
