Black Box Of Magic

Cast ye eyes upon this matey, but beware...there be magic in this here box, black magic for sure. Ye be warned.

Silver Moon

Avast there, here be a fine example of mechanical metal suit, and it be shiny as well. And that be a mighty strange cannon it carries, but deadly no doubt. You have plenty to fear landlubbers, take heed.

Saddle Up Apone...

I just watched this movie the other night. Still holds up beautifully 27 years later. This MOC depicts the scene where they discover the location of the colonists.  This brilliantly detailed and lit interior comes from Missing Brick, who has a whole series excellent scenes from Aliens. Custom minifigs by Matthias.

Thanks for the head's up Pete 

The Black Pearl

BricksOnWheels is a builder after my own heart.  Not only am I a big Pirates of the Caribbean fan (the ride and the movies...well, some of the movies) but I actually spent nearly a year of my life in London working on POTC4. This pirate themed Scania truck is just beautiful, and I recognized this lovely pirate as soon as I saw her.

Sandyman's Mill

It's been a bit of a LOTR week for me, I even watched Fellowship of the Ring (well, the first half of the extended edition) yesterday. So the lovely village of Hobbiton is fresh in my mind. And this MOC by TheBrickAvenger would fit in perfectly. I really like the stonework on this, and that roof is perfect.  

The Abyss

This cool little mech by Toto Hermanto looks like it would be right at home in the deepest undersea trench, and in the darkest corners of space. Give this thing a trans yellow canopy and it would be pretty neo classic space. 

Super Yetee Bros.

 Chris McVeigh created this MOC for THEYETEE, an awesome online t-shirt company. They're opening a gallery this weekend in Aurora Illinois and invited artists to create Yeti and bigfoot inspired art. If you're in the area drop by and if not, check out their site, they have crazy, nerdy, geeky cool tees.

The Tower

Oh my. I was all set to go out and set up to shoot episode 106, but I thought "one last peek at Flickr". That's when I saw this. I implore you dear readers to stop what you're doing and click through. Then look at the larger versions of this and all the pictures. This is an absolute visual treat, from bottom to top. Outstanding work Kris_Kelvin.

The Comedian

Pate-Keetongu brings us an excellent rendition of the way cool, but ill-fated Comedian from The Watchmen. It appears to be fairly posable, always a challenge with characters. I like the doors as shoulder pads too, clever. The head is the real star of this MOC though, it's excellent.

Mecha Link

Oh yeah, a Gundam style mech of Legend of Zelda's Link! Julius Von Brunk has fused japanese style mecha and nintendo's classic character, and the result is greater than the sum of it's parts. Ganondorf's about to get his butt KICKED. 

Come On!

How is it possible that a scene so thrilling, so iconic, so groundbreaking could be depicted so...cute. Yes, it's Ripley in the powerloader vs the queen alien, or should I say squeen? It's adorable!

Oresteia

Master of the small ship Phall Macaroni calls this a NB-02 courier class, I call it sweet. Great use of colors, angles, details and design. Not only is the ship excellent, check out that stand. It implies some kind of robotic functionality, very cool.

Goobers

I love these. Flickr user cmaddison has created a fun new form factor called "Goobers". With a minimal amount of pieces he has generated so much emotion and character that they are irresistible. I have a feeling we'll be seeing more of these type of MOCs.  

Yo Ho Ho And A Bottle Of Rum

This is a absolutely beautiful MOC depicting the Hispaniola as she prepares prepares to make sail to Treasure Island. The attention to detail is superb, as is the build quality. I especially love the diversity of all the buildings, each has it's own personality. The brick-built sails are also very charming. Click through for lots of other pictures. Nicely done Matthew Hurt.

Helium-3 Harvester

This crazy cool concept from Robiwan Kenobi  is for harvesting helium-3 from the surface of the moon. There's so much clever building and parts use that you can stare at this thing for ages. Then you can wrap your head around the fact that this is based on feasible science. Way cool.

Firethorn Mech...With Working Flame Thrower!

Disclaimer: Do not attempt this, you or your bricks could get seriously burned, seriously. 

Prepare to have your mind blown LEGO fans. Siercon and Coral have unleashed a slew of MOCs in the last day. But this one, holy cow, a mech with a working flame thrower! Watch the video to see it in action.  And check out their photostream for all the amazing last minute MOCs for Iron Builder. These two are machines!

Some Say...

...His shadow is inexplicably in the shape of a meat grinder, and that he is spooked by the sound of vacuums. All we know is he's called THE STIG.

Mecha Charizard

Sure that other trainer has some great Pokemon, and a ton of badges, but you have the advantage. Wait until he gets a peek at Mecha Charizard! Wait, what's this? He's choosing Mr. Mime? Alright Mecha Charizard, stomp that worthless piece of...

VW Roundup

With two simultaneous contests running, Flickr is VWriffic these days, and it makes me happy. Here's just a few of the brilliant little offerings to date. 

Kaname Madoka

It's another stunning and beautiful anime MOC from Moko. As usual I have no idea who it is or where she's from, but she's gorgeous. There's lots of detail to gawk at but look at those shoes, fabulous.
