Youtube: Foley Square in detail!
Published on 20.12.2018
Just in time for Christmas, our third big Manhattan module has been released! The Foley Square and its surrounding skyscrapers was rebuilt out of 1214 bricks.
In the current video, Marco presents the module in detail and tells which striking buildings and squares you can discover. For example, did you know that in New York City there is a 170-meter-high house without windows?

It's Christmas time: Foley Square and preview!
Published on 18.12.2018
Just in time for Christmas, the next Manhattan module has arrived! The 1214-piece Foley Square fits the north side of City Hall and is the third major set of our Manhattan construction project after the World Trade Center.
The Bluebrixx Specials section of our webshop is growing rapidly and soon we will divide it into subsections. In addition to the many now available sets, you will also find isolated products with red markings that are currently out of stock and will be reproduced later. Do not worry, every one of our products comes back!
Especially exciting are the sets with the green mark "coming soon". Here you will find a lot of very different topics:
- 12 more freight cars, some of which should arrive in the next few days
- the first 3 fire engines, for which we are missing only the sticker sheets
- The Manhattan module "Foley Square", which could arrive here before Christmas
- The next Manhattan module "Brookfield Place", the first module on the banks of the Hudson!
- new military sets of the Wehrmacht, US troops and as terrain
- the first passenger cars and locomotives!
- a spaceship and a flying car!
Some of the new products will take a while to be produced and to be stocked, others are already on their way to us. But you can easily find out when your favorite set arrived: on each product page of the sets that will be available soon you will find a button "Inform, if available" and you can deposit your e-mail adress. As soon as the set goes on sale you will be the first to find out!

YouTube: Focusing on current news!
Published on 13.12.2018
Christmas is approaching and Marco presents in the new Youtube video three products that have just arrived.
The first Bluebrixx Special offers you to build 24 trees of different sizes and shapes. With over 500 bricks, the set is a great supplier of dioramas!
Our first freight cars are now joined by a closed car with brakeman's cab, perfect for the end of a freight train. The doors can be opened, too.
In our first book, "Panzer aus Noppensteinen", we introduce four iconic tanks of World War II, including background information, pics and detailed instructions. With the help of the illustrated parts list you can build the models with bricks from your own collection, but you can also find the tanks in our shop.

It's beginning to smell a lot like Christmas!
Published on 11.12.2018
Just two weeks until Christmas and our christmas elfs have their hands full! Not only do they prepare to ship your orders, they are also unpacking many new items these days and stacking them on our shelves.
Already arrived:
- The book "Tanks made of Bricks" full of information and great instructions for building four well-known tanks
- a set of over 500 bricks for the construction of 24 individual trees, perfect for dioramas
- A closed freight wagon with box wagon braker, the ideal wagon for the end of a freight train
But that's not all! Over the next few days, we'll be seeing three fire engine models, a lot of new freight cars, and last but not least, the next big Manhattan module: the Foley Square! It kind of looks like Santa's work ...

Youtube: Speedbuild & Review Video of the Tirpitz by Cobi
Published on 09.12.2018
Two new videos have been released on Youtube this week! In the first video Marco sets up the German battleship Tirpitz, a model by Cobi with 1982 bricks. Since that took over 4 hours, the video was a little bit faster and the parts are just flying together.
Our product designer has so much to tell about the model that we made a second video. A review about the product. Marco reports on the construction process, the parts and the stickers and then he gives his personal opinion about the set. Sneak Peek: he had a lot of fun!
Here's the video: https://youtu.be/YoXFEZZl3xA

Bluebrixx specials on the online store
Published on 04.12.2018
On the online store of bluebrixx.com we offer a lot of bricks sets by different manufacturers, from bags with single bricks to large architectural models. Of course, the Bluebrixx specials, which we develop and produce ourselves, are particularly important to us.
Especially for our own brand Bluebrixx-Specials we have revised our webshop. For some days now, all our products have always been visible, even if they are currently not on stock. These are then marked as "CURRENTLY OUT OF STOCK".
Even new sets that are in production are shown in the shop before they are released, marked with "coming soon". You can even be notified by email when an out of stock set gets on stock again or an interesting novelty arrived!

New Manhattan module: World Trade Center is available!
Published on 02.12.2018
Last week we extensively presented you the World Trade Center on Youtube, now the set is available!
With 683 bricks the module currently presents the tallest building in the US. On a scale of approximately 1: 2000, the spire of the One World Trade Center reaches a height of 27 cm, which corresponds to 541 meters in the original. Impressive, isn't it?
The module connects to one side of the City Hall module. Together, the two sets already form a distinctive part of the New York skyline.

Youtube: The first cargo trains by Bluebrixx are on stock!
Published on 30.11.2018
In the latest Youtube video, Marco introduces the first three freight cars that have just arrived. A large flat car offers space for bulky cargo, which our product designer demonstrates with a few bricks. He also filled the bulk goods wagon on a test basis and he also knows a lot about the tank wagon.
All three freight cars are now available in our online store! We are curious how you AFOBs like it.
In fact, right now we are planning the production of other train cars and we are thinking about which sets should be offered next. What do you think? Write us on Youtube a comment what you prefer.
