From MOCs to the BrickLink Designer Program with Alex Kastelic | Episode 58
Have you ever looked at an incredible LEGO MOC and thought, “How did they even come up with that?”
For some LEGO fans, creating their own builds is a huge part of the hobby. For others, following the instructions and building official LEGO sets is where most of the experience comes from.
So what does it take to go from building LEGO sets to creating something of your own?
In Episode 58 of The Hidden Bricks, From MOCs to the BrickLink Designer Program with Alex Kastelic, Alex joins us for a conversation about MOCs, creativity, and what goes into turning an original idea into something other LEGO fans can build.
We’re talking about where MOC ideas come from, what makes certain builds stand out, the challenges of creating from scratch, and what makes the jump from a fan-created MOC to the BrickLink Designer Program.
We’ll also get into the upcoming BrickLink Designer Program series, what fans can look forward to, and whether Alex can convince Mav and Em to finally try building MOCs of their own.

The Spaces We Build for LEGO | Episode 57
Have you ever looked around at your LEGO collection and thought, “Okay… where am I supposed to put all of this?”
For some LEGO fans, the hobby has its own dedicated room. For others, it might be a corner of an office, a few shelves, the basement, or wherever there’s enough room to build.
So what makes a great LEGO space?
In Episode 57 of The Hidden Bricks, we’re talking about the spaces we create around the LEGO hobby—from building areas and displays to storage, organization, and making the most of whatever space you have.
We’re also getting into how our LEGO spaces change as our collections grow, balancing room to build with room to display, what happens when LEGO starts outgrowing the space available, and the incredible setups throughout the LEGO community that inspire us.
And of course, we’re talking about what our dream LEGO spaces would look like if space and budget weren’t an issue.
What does YOUR LEGO space look like? And what’s one thing you’d change or add to make it even better?

What Makes a LEGO Set Actually Fun to Build? | Episode 56
Have you ever finished a LEGO set and thought, “That was an awesome build”… or maybe, “I never want to build that again”?
Some LEGO sets are fun from the first bag, while others might look incredible when they’re finished but feel repetitive, frustrating, or way too long along the way.
So what actually makes a LEGO set fun to build?
In Episode 56 of The Hidden Bricks, we’re talking about the LEGO building experience itself—from clever techniques and satisfying details to repetition, hidden surprises, Easter eggs, and those moments that make a build memorable.
We’re also getting into whether bigger LEGO sets actually mean better builds, what can turn building into a chore, and the sets we’d happily take apart just to experience building them all over again.
What makes a LEGO set fun for YOU to build? And what set gave you one of your favorite building experiences?
