Calling all LEGO and Doctor Who fans, a new TARDIS minibuild is available from the best custom LEGO printers in the galaxy, Minifigs.me. Not only do they stock every Doctor Who generation under the sun, they now have the TARDIS to go with them, making for the perfect combination and display piece. The build comprises of custom printed tiles that make up the classic Police Box we all know and love, you can even turn the printed window and image bricks to have alternative version of the TARDIS.

Custom-built using genuine LEGO parts, including re-printed LEGO parts. Each minibuild can be completed and displayed in two different ways (as pictured). Turn around the window and image bricks and choose the alternate ‘push to open’ tile in order to create the other version. – Minifigs.me

Having been a fan and affiliate with Minifigs.me for some time now, I can confidently say that they produce some of the best designs and prints out there and at a very affordable price. They have worked with passionate fans of Doctor Who and created the full line up in Minifigure form, finally getting a similar scale brick-built TARDIS is the icing on the timey-wimey cake!

This particular build doesn’t come with any Minifigures, but don’t let that stop you from adding your favourite Doctor to the basket, why not chuck in a couple of companions too. There are so many to choose from that I can’t list them all here, but below are a few that have proven popular over the years.

The bundle of classic Doctors is a great option to grow your collection quickly, as there is a Doctor for everyone included, especially for the older Who fans.

New releases:

Donna (Companion) Noble Anniversary Edition

Purchase

To celebrate the anniversary of Doctor Who, Minifigs.me have recreated Donna in minifig form. Why not buy the 14th Time Lord to make a perfect pair?

This minifig also comes with a double-sided head with too many teeth…Uh-oh!

Printed onto genuine LEGO parts, this fabulous minifig comes with a double-sided head and a microphone. One for the era!

Korra (The Element Bender)

Purchase

Airbending is the final thing on this minifig’s to-do list, then she will become a true mini-avatar.

Inspired by the Legend of Korra series. Printed onto genuine LEGO parts. Comes with a double-sided head and custom-printed arms.

Beatrix Potter

Purchase

Beatrix Potter was an English writer and illustrator who was most famous for her children’s books featuring a well-known rabbit called Peter. She was also a scientist and conservationist and all-round great woman – so Minifigs.me made her into a minifig.

20% of sales of this minifigure are split between Kiva and the Chrysalis Youth Empowerment Network.

Hidden Mini(Figures)

Purchase

These three women were hidden figures who helped to get us to the moon!

All were mathematicians. Katherine Johnson was famous for her calculations of orbital mechanics, Mary Jackson was NASA’s first black female engineer, and Dorothy Vaughan was the first black woman to become a supervisor and then became an early proponent of computer programming.

These figures are all custom-printed onto genuine LEGO parts. We feel they would fit nicely with the LEGO Ideas Women of NASA set, so we are offering the option of buying them with their names printed on white 1 x 4 tiles. That way, you can create your own little display MOC and use the name tiles to complete the look!

20% of sales of these minifigures are split between Kiva and the Chrysalis Youth Empowerment Network.


Top Picks:

Graduation (Customisable)

Purchase

Help your minifig attend their graduation in traditional attire with this rather fancy fully printed gown! You can choose the colours on the robes and the gender of the minifigure to suit your needs.  

Goat Pin Badge

Purchase

A cute gift for animal lovers, or perhaps a little treat for yourself?

Custom LEGO Mother’s Day Gifts From Minifigs.me! https://www.thebrickpost.com/news/custom-lego-mothers-day-gifts-from-minifigs-me/ https://www.thebrickpost.com/news/custom-lego-mothers-day-gifts-from-minifigs-me/#respond Sun, 25 Feb 2024 10:00:20 +0000 https://www.thebrickpost.com/?p=25532 It’s now March and Mother’s Day is just around the corner, here is a look at what the team over at Minifigs.me have to offer for those LEGO loving Mother’s!

Be it a custom printed message on a Brick or a jigsaw-style collection of tiles that make up a photograph, or a fully customisable LEGO MinifigureMinifigs.me has you covered. Below are a handful of the wonderful gifts they have to offer.

Don’t forget to use the links throughout this article as a 10% discount automatically gets added to you basket during checkout!


Starting off small but still sweet are the 2×2 Mother’s Day card tiles, these prints look fantastic and portray the heartfelt message perfectly. There are two designs to choose from, Pink with Red Heart and Purple with Flowers.

Continuing the along the tile theme is a 1×2 coupon tile for a Spa Day, it’s one of those easy but truly appreciates gifts. I’ve never been on a Spa Day, maybe one I’ll get to experience it. For something so small the detail is incredible, just look at the writing on it, crisp!


If you’re looking for something a bit more chunky then you can’t go wrong with the 2×4 brick. This one has ‘Best Mum‘ written on it, with a handful of Flowers dotted around it.


Why not go traditional and gift her a Box of Chocolates or a Bouquet of Flowers? Of course every so far has been scaled to suit Minifigures or make smaller gifts. These chocolates and flowers are a perfect combo for a Sigfig or Minifigure character.


After something proper gifty? Try these custom LEGO puzzles, not only are they fun but you can customise them with your photo and names!

There are two puzzles to choose from, both technically the same just different lettering. One has ‘I Love You Mum‘ above the photo, whilst the other has ‘Best Mum‘ beneath the photo.


If your Mum has her own Sigfig/Minifigure characters, then I’d personally go for a display stand, this one is also customisable with a photo, it also has ‘Best Mum’ written underneath.

If she doesn’t have a Sigfig/Minifigure character yet then this is the perfect time to get her one. The Minifigs.me ‘Build-a-Fig’ is perfect for this and has a ton of options to choose from, including customisable torsos, tiles and display stands.

Create Your Own Custom Minifigures With Minifigs.me!


We really hope that this short but insightful article gives you an idea of what is available for the LEGO loving Mother in your life. We only scratched the surface of what Minifigs.me have to offer so why not head voer to their website and take a look for yourself.

Don’t forget that all links on this page point to them and automatically adds a 10% discount to your basket. If for some reason the links don’t work please feel free to use our Minifigs.me code: TheBrickPost-0921

Jmbricklayer Medieval Hotel (31103) Review https://www.thebrickpost.com/alternative-brand/jmbricklayer-medieval-hotel-31103-review/ https://www.thebrickpost.com/alternative-brand/jmbricklayer-medieval-hotel-31103-review/#respond Mon, 24 Jul 2023 13:58:45 +0000 https://www.thebrickpost.com/?p=29108 JMBricklayers have kindly sent us a handful of sets to reveiw and showcase to you what they have to offer in terms of brick sets. Stuart (Brick McBricksworth) recently wrote a great review for us of the brand new JMBricklayers Mechanical Chameleon (70124) set, which you can check out here if you haven’t already.

Today I have a very exciting set to show you, the JMBricklayers Medieval Hotel (31103). I chose this set to review as it most reminded me of the recent LEGO Hocus Pocus (21341) offering, both being medieval style buildings and have roughly the same size & feel about them. I’ll be doing a comparison review separately to this one once I have built the LEGO Hocus Pocus (21341) set.

As Stuart mentioned in his review there is some stigma surrounding alternative brands, but I’m here to convince you and the die-hard LEGO fans out there that some brands are worth checking out, especially if the leading brand doesn’t produce a certain theme or set.

Diving straight into our review of the JMBricklayers Medieval Hotel (31103), which includes lighting, we’ll start off like any other review, the box and what’s inside.

The Box & Contents:

The box itself has joined in with the recent trend of being simple yet bold, showing off the set inside against a solid black background. The image of the set is embossed slightly which gives it a more premium feel to other brands.

Inside the box are 11 numbered bags, a light kit and an instruction manual. There is are also separate bags for the Minifigs and larger plates.

The manual is laid out in a way that makes more sense to the builder, with previous steps greyed out with only the new parts highlighted and where they go. I particularly like this method as it makes the whole process that much more enjoyable.

A nice selection of plates are included, these mostly form. The base one which the Medieval Hotel sits upon.


The Build:

This is my first ever JMBricklayers set so I was a little apprehensive on what the the quality and build would be like. I’ll say right off the bat that both are great. The parts in offer here are very similar to the leading brand and in most cases have strong clutch power, sometimes a little to strong. That being said the parts stay together well, for plates this is even more so, try prising two JMBricklayers 2×2 plates apart, I dare you!

The first bag comprises of the Minifigs (later in the review) and the rather smart Wagon build.

In tru block tradition there has to be a small side build, here in the Medieval Hotel (31103) set is a Wagon. It suits the overall look and theme of the build and doesn’t look at all out of place. The curved roof, dark brown Wagon and the many accessories packed into and into this thing is crazy, in a good way. I presume it’s meant to be a permanent fixture to the grounds around the Medieval Hotel as no Horses were included. This is fine with me as this type of Wagon is traditionally left in one please whilst settled for long periods of time.

The next couple of bags build and complete the base on which the Medieval Hotel sits. This for me is always the most stressful part of any build, especially when so many plates are involved. Layering plates on top of each other could have been avoided and replaced by bricks. As mentioned before the clutch power of the plates especially is very strong, not necessarily a bad thing as the final product is strong and sturdy, it’s putting them together that hurts the fingers.

You also get a feel of how big the building will be from the bases footprint. Not sticking to a traditional square baseplate and going for a more natural look really works well.

As you build up the ground floor, porch and chimney the building really starts to look great, here is when I really started enjoying the build experience. Having bigger bricks to play with helped get the walls built faster and time seemed to fly by. There were obviously smaller elements to add, again plates stacked on each other, these helped raise up the pillars in between the windows to the right height in order to fit long tiles to them to create the Medieval beams.

The ground floor is somewhat hidden at the back due to the overhanging porch roof, which in itself looks great. It’s a shame as it over shadows the lovely stained glass windows. Thankfilly more can be seen on the other side.

The first floor continues the shape but with one of the wall coming slightly in to create a balcony area for the guests to wander out on from their room.

I particularly like the colour scheme of this floor, the snad green bricks goes well with the dark brown (wood) coloured beams. I’m not entirely sure if this colour was possible back then but I’m not complaining, it looks great.

It takes 2 or 3 bags to get this far, adding the first floor, building up the chimney and adding beams for the roof. Placing random bricks to make up the chimney gives it very realistic look, like something you’d see in real-life and old buildings.

The last few bags, not including the final bag, constructs the top floor and roof. As you can see from the above image the wall colour is sand blue, another interesting choice of wall colour, one I love!

Add the light grey roof and JMBricklayers are onto a winner, the outside of the Medieval Hotel looks absolutely stunning and I must say I am pleasantly surprised with the set. I can picture this and others from their Medieval range looking amazing in a larger town setup.

The interior looks just as good with a multitude of details and accessories to bring this set to life. The ground floor is where the guests meet and dine, with a bar area and a dining table,fully stocked I might add.

The first floor is where I presume the guests sleep, although there is only one bed and room, not quite a Hotel, more of an Inn I’d say.

There’s a comfy looking bed and rocking chair along with a book case and writing/map making desk complete with ink well & quill. Don’t forget the door to the balcony, add that and the many windows and you have a nice place to rest & sleep.

Up in the loft/attic space you’ll find tm where the supplies are kept, there are tons of bottles and what I presume to be Mead or Ale on the barrels, every good Inn needs quality beer. Randomly there is also a Cat lurking in the dark, it must be the owners.

Back outside and you’ll notice there is lots to look at an taking. On one side you’ll find Chickens, nicely tucked away by the side of the Hotel. The whole place is surrounded by foliage and trees, which adds so much to the overall look & feel of the set.

I’ll be honest and say one tree in particular is very frustrating to piece together, the stud-shooters are really designed to do the job the designers intended. Sure the tree holds for the most part but a slight bump or tap and the whole thing pops and falls apart. I managed to get a photo or two before removing the light green Birch tree altogether.

The other two trees are great and very sturdy, these are my favourites anyway as the Autumnal colours look lovely.


Overall the set is good and like I mentioned above a nice surprise to have something that is of higher quality than other alternative brands. I’d love to have another 1 or 2 sets to add along side this one to truly get a small Medieval town started.

For my first JMBricklayers set I am happily surprised and would love to give another one a go. Even the Minifigs are good. The designers have pulled this Medieval Hotel out the bag and it looks wonderful. There were some frustrating parts to the build but nothing to worry about, we got there in the end!


Lighting it up:

The set includes a very simple light kit, this lakes me happy as some light kits are ridiculously fiddly. This one consists of 3 1×8 transparent plates and a thin LED strip unfortunately there aren’t any instructions for the light kit installation so I popped all three inside the ground floor and let the light shine through the stained glass windows. It looks stunning, especially in the dark!
