Thank You.

All gave some, some gave all. To all the men and women of the armed forces, past and present, thank you for your service.  Your sacrifice preserves our lifestyle, and for that I'm grateful. And to Si_MOCs, thanks for this tribute.

KRATOS

I was just thinking a couple days ago it's been a while since I've seen a real kickass robot. Luckily m_o_n_k_e_y is here to fill my mechanical gawking needs. The proportions on this thing are quite cool. It's big and beefy without being clumsy. Love those chunky hands too.

You Could Not Wish For A Finer Blade

One of the greatest accomplishments of The Hobbit (and Lord of the Rings for that matter) is the production design. Especially the armor and weapons. The elvish weapons are just gorgeous. And this MOC by Cole Edmonson of Thorin's blade captures the elegant lines and distinct design so well.

Live On Stage...

This Iron Builder is starting to heat up. This entry by Brickthing is absolutely amazing. Not only from a building standpoint, but this is some top notch MOC photography. Well played sir, well played. 

Who?

You remember Mr. Owl? The one who taught us how many licks to the center of Tootsie Pop? Well, he cheated, turns out it's not three. Thankfully this isn't Mr. Owl, so I won't have to avenge my friend's broken tooth. Nice work mihaimariusmihu.

1Up!

Being a long-time Nintendo fan these MOCs by dm_meister make me smile. Who can forget the thrill of scoring a mushroom and getting an extra life, slightly increasing your odds of getting to Bowser. Only then to get your butt handed to you by the boss. 

Micropolis Hotel

Micro buildings always catch my eye. There's something so captivating about them, especially when they're done well. Like this hotel from Lupinzar. Per request of the artist, please whistle or hum "The Girl From Ipanema" while viewing this post.

Oh Great, Cthulhu's Out

I saw this amazing MOC in person at BrickCon, and again recently on Tested. I'm happy it's finally been photographed properly so can share it all with you. Behold Cthulhu, by the great Carlmerriam . This is serious out-of-the-box and next level building, love it.

One Small Step...

I've always been a great admirer of the US space program. My first memory is sitting on my dad's lap, watching a NASA mission unfold on TV. We always wanted to go watch a shuttle launch together, but sadly he passed away before we ever got the chance. He was also very patriotic, and I see his smile in every US flag I look at. Thanks Legohaulic, I love this MOC and I know my dad would have too.

Oasis Encounter

Last week while driving in LA I spotted a guy stuck on Lincoln Blvd actually using a hookah in his car, today I see one brick-built, coincidence? Well, hardly, but this is a cool MOC by Disco86 anyway.

Rainbow Lorikeet

This beautiful bird sculpture comes to us from qi_tah. With the exception of perhaps fish, birds are the most colorful creatures on the planet, and this MOC captures that perfectly.

Guess Who?

I love how insanely creative AFOLs can be. Check out this version of the classic game "Guess Who?"  Gilcélio has created a version using sig figs of his friends, and it's completely playable. Check out the video!

Geological Survey Mechanoids

Legoloverman is a master of the pocket-sized robot, just look at these little beauties. Each one of them has a specific job to do, and is customized to do it. Yet, they all look like brothers. Functionality fused with aesthetics, perfect.

Hall Of The Silver Throne

 Digger1221 offers up this lovely throne room, with some delicious details. The brick walls, border work and the throne are great, but my favorite parts are the floor pattern and the candle stands, excellent.

Saruman's Orthanc Vic Viper

This is a awesome mashup, Lord of the Rings meets Space meets Vic Viper. It's Novvember so VVs are showing up all over the place. But this one is so damn clever. I totally want to see more of these, c'mon everybody, licensed VV FTW!

Tigelfáh Castle And Town

This is a massive and incredible collaborative build by SlyOwl,  Kǻrrde, peggyjdb, workshysteve, Invicta Bricks, Malravion, Cuahchic  and Derfel Cadarn. It was recently featured at the Great Western LEGO Show at STEAM in Swindon UK. The attention detail and work that went into this is stunning. And with eight different builders, there's tons of pictures to look at. Click through and enjoy!

Yeti Cave

This is a fun little vignette by Praiter Yed depicting a captured hero suspended from the top of an ice cave by a large white creature. His trusty rapier just out of reach. It all seems so familiar...

Mmmm, Breakfast

Schfio has put out quite spread this morning. And what better way to start your day than with a delicious breakfast including cereal, toast, cheese and eggs. I love how the butter has the corner taken off, brilliant.  Alright, now I'm hungry.

Arkham Asylum

This is epic.  Xenomurphy has built an amazing version of everyone's favorite (and easiest to escape) prison for the criminally insane, Arkham Asylum. And as if this MOC wasn't amazing on it's own, there's an entire 82 page book of the making of it in his photostream, and it's free. Go there, now.

Hornetzven P5

Wow, this is one of the crazy-coolest sci-fi vehicles I've seen in a while. So many unconventional and innovative techniques. The wheels are planet hemispheres, but that in-wheel suspension is wild!
