BrickSpace and BrickCraft (Other apps by us!)

BrickSpace is an app for building Micro Lego Spaceships.  These are truly incredible designs by 4estFeller, one of the best micro space designers you can see on Flickr.  The BrickSpace app is the only place you will find instructions on how to build these spaceships and space scenes.  It also has a fun quiz. Learn more here.





BrickCraft is a new app we made that is in the iTunes store. Check it out if you are at all interested in Minecraft and Lego bricks. Click here.

Series 8 Update for MyMinis

Yesterday the MyMinis update for series 8 was submitted, so it should be live/approved in a little over a week, as currently the app store approval wait time seems to be about 10 days.  I was luckily able to find the figs at a Toys R Us store here in a few days ago, but they then appeared in the Lego store yesterday for the time, so September 1 seems to be the official US release date.  They come in a black bag this time and most of them were easy to find but there were a few surprises.  The Conquistador is my favorite! The Touch Guide in the app will help you find them easily. I also fixed the picture for the Bride in Series 7 as her dress was on backwards, and added some additional pictures to the Series 7 Touch Guide.
