How to Mix Metal Bricks with Your LEGO Sets for Epic Creations

If you love building with LEGO®, you already know the thrill of snapping together bricks to bring your imagination to life. But what happens when you take that creativity up a notch with metal LEGO-compatible bricks? At Metal Brick Co., we craft high-quality CNC metal bricks that fit seamlessly with your favorite plastic LEGO piece...unlocking endless new ways to build.

Here’s a fun guide on how to mix our bricks with your collection for next-level creations.


1. Add Strength Where It Counts

One of the coolest perks of metal bricks is their durability. If you’re building large structures like a tower, spaceship, or custom display stand, use metal bricks at the base or in key support areas. This gives your build extra stability while still keeping the creativity flowing with plastic LEGO bricks on top.


2. Use Metal Bricks as Hero Pieces

Metal bricks instantly stand out. Use them as eye-catching accents in your build, like a gleaming gold keychain brick on a mech, a silver gear detail on a spaceship, or copper highlights in a castle design. They bring a level of realism and shine that makes your custom LEGO builds feel more epic.


3. Create Unique Weight and Balance

Plastic LEGO is light, which is great for most builds. But sometimes you want a little heft. Mixing in metal bricks can give your creations a solid feel, perfect for handheld models like swords, shields, or custom vehicles. It makes them feel less like a toy and more like a collector’s piece.


4. Experiment with Textures

Pairing smooth metal with colorful plastic LEGO creates a striking contrast. Try blending shiny silver bricks with bright red LEGO for a futuristic vibe, or combine copper bricks with earth tones for a steampunk effect. This mix of materials brings depth and personality to your builds.


5. Showcase Your Creations

Once you’ve built something epic, display it! Metal bricks catch the light beautifully, making your model look more like art than just a build. Put your creations on shelves, desks, or even in custom display cases to highlight the premium look that metal brings to your LEGO-compatible projects.
