Tom Loftus' MOCs using May 2025 Pick a Brick parts
LEGO® Pick a Brick paused this service earlier this year, but they have just resumed the addition of new parts a month earlier than anticipated!
We caught up with the team in February 2025 at the Bricktastic show in Manchester, UK where they displayed the elements due to arrive on Pick a Brick (PaB) when the service resumed. At the end of the show they kindly offered these elements to me – one of each – and I've explored their potential in original LEGO build creations using my own collection.

Review: 76970 Baby Dinosaur Dolores Aquilops from LEGO® Jurassic World™ Rebirth
For me, a highlight of LEGO® sets over the last few years has been some of the brick-built creatures that would have been unthinkable in the past. As part of their LEGO® Creator 3-in-1 line, they have now made all manner of brick beasts; crocodiles, giraffes, pandas and more have all been depicted in impressive style.
