The LEGO community is lucky to have so many blogs, magazines and channels that create amazing content about our hobby. Here at BrickNerd, we celebrate getting nerdy about the bricks!

This past month, we celebrated April Fools (revealing LEGO expiration dates) along with the rest of the LEGO fan community, visited LEGO Campus in Billund and Solvang in California, played Dungeons and Dragons and sold a MOC. We twitched for bricks, updated classic art, began some Bionicle, and wished for figs. We even built Hellboy, enjoyed some April showers and announced the winners of our Festival of Mundanity contest! We’ve published so many interesting articles, that we’ve included an interactive calendar of them at the bottom of this post so you can make sure you didn’t miss a thing.

But there are many more fascinating stories to be told from within the LEGO community, so here are some of the best LEGO articles that caught our contributors’ attention throughout the month of April. We applaud the effort that went into each of these features, so click on the headlines or photos to head to each story or video. They are well worth your time!
