Rockin' Fett
/Did you know Boba Fett was a rock star? Neither did I! I also never suspected Han Solo frozen in carbonite could double as an amp, but luckily M<0><0>DSWIM came along to enlighten us. Rock on Boba, rock on...
It's Good To Be Bad
/Disney villains are my wife's favorite, and Maleficent is one of the best. This simple but super effective figure by legorobo:waka captures her essence perfectly. The horns are particularly effective, with clever use of the mini machine guns to get the compound angles.
Bank Of Prophet
/I will admit, beyond just the coolness factor of this MOC, I have no background on it. I never played Bioshock Infinite, and have no real knowledge if it. So I consulted my resident expert (12 year old Connor) and I have it under good authority this this is "awesome". I have to agree.
Do Not Pass Go, Do Not Collect $200
/But do check out this excellent little Monopoly MOC by iridescent nohow. I've spent many, many hours playing this game in my life, and I always seem to lose. Unless we're playing my Star Wars special edition, then I win just for getting the Boba Fett piece.
Spawn
/Back in the 90's Todd MacFarlane's Spawn made waves in the comic world and then in the toy world. Now Orion Pax is here to make waves in the AFOL community with this amazing build of the title character. While I'm not a huge fan of customization, I have to say the paint work and modifications on this MOC are amazing.
Arc170 PunkFighter
/We have a new weapon in the fight against the evil colonial empire, the Arc 170 PunkFighter. We have word that Commodore Tarkin and his right hand man Lord Byron von Vaderham have moved forces closer to the 180th parallel. This modern age vessel should help us turn the tide.

Ready For The Night?
/SM seeks SF
I'm seeking a lady who likes adventure, and isn't afraid of the dark. I enjoy the night life, I like to boogie. I really enjoy gadgets and dressing up for a evening on the town. I have my own car (several in fact) so I can pick you up. While I do spend plenty of time in my parent's basement, I actually own the house since I was orphaned as a child.
If interested please see Commissioner Gordon, he knows how to contact me.
Settlement On Epherna 1
/Micro scale space dioramas always make my geeky heart go pitter patter. This one from Tim C76 makes it go boomshakashaka! Check out all the awesome detail in this thing, from the subtle use of trans blue throughout, to the bevel gears to add texture and my favorite detail the flex tubing in the large dishes to add windows around the edges of the biggest tower.
Die Fry Die!
/Ladies and gentleman of the jury, I submit to you this piece of evidence, a security camera shot from the night of the incident. As you can see, the defendant is clearly...wait for it...relishing (condiment humor) in his act. This wasn't a case of mistaken identity. This wasn't self defense. And this certainly wasn't a case of jaywalking. This was murder, cold and calculated.
Master Greybeard's House
/Whenever I see a build in this style for some reason celtic music or something similar the the Lord of the Rings soundtrack plays in my head. There's just something so wonderfully organic and appealing when it's done right, and this MOC by One More Brick is done right. I especially like the tapered foundation, it feels at once like it might tip over and also sit soundly forever.
Exo Suit Comparison
/Exo Suit designer Peter Reid has posted a fantastic side-by-side of his design vs the final product from LEGO and LEGO designer Mark Stafford. Clearly scale is a major deviation, as well as ankle joints and some of the larger body components like the barrels in the forearms. But as you can see it's faithful to the spirit, and fantastically designed. I prefer Pete's compactness and more mechanical look, but I sorta like LEGO's take on contrast. I prefer Pete's more exposed cockpit as well, but Mark's makes great use of the new handlebars. We'll have a LiveBuild and full review soon enough, in the mean time just stare at this and droooooool.
Tuga-Magnom
/Thinking outside the box and being truly original doesn't come easy, that is unless you're builder Ryckyloko apparently. One look at his photostream and you'll be treated to a great number of MOCs that seamlessly blend Bionicle and System in innovative and organic shapes. Like this insect inspired deep space vessel, crazy cool.
More Sofa (In)Action
/MacLane is on a roll with is awesome "couch" series of MOCs. The latest has everything from a little post apocalyptic relaxation to Cobra and GIjOE in their lighter moments. These are amazing not only for how iconic and instantly recognizable they are, but how each one tells a different (and hilariously mundane) story.
It's Coming...
/LEGO Ideas designer Peter Reid is teasing us, but I'm OK with it. Mainly because I know we're so very close to finally getting our hands on his mechanical bipedal beauty the Exo Suit. I had the honor of holding the original in my hands and I can't wait to play with it's brethren.
LL-6913
/Retro-New is the first thing that comes to mind when trying to describe builder billyburg's latest little space cruiser. Most of the building techniques and parts used are modern, but the color mix along with our brave pilot send me back to the classic LEGO 80's-something space program. However, unlike the mostly exploration based space series of the 80's, I can totally see a small fleet of these things spilling out of a large corsair ship, speeding off to engage some unknown alien threat.
Titanfall WWII
/This so needs to be a thing. Builder Kosmas Santosa has mashed up Titanfall and classic World War II conflict in this amazing MOC. How cool would that alternate universe be? Imagine these things walking out of the water on Normandy Beach. Somebody call EA quick!
Gundam Fever
/I have some alarming news, builder Orion Pax has caught Gundam fever. Although little is known about this disease it would appear the only way to treat it is to build some amazing mechs. I think he'll get better though, if these MOCs are any indication. Check out his website for a ton more pictures of this amazing build.
Update: Alex was kind enough to provide me with an exclusive pic of some Gundam jewelry he's built as a companion piece. Feast your eyes on this serious bling.
Cove Island Map
/This is a fun little concept, a micro scale building of a relief map. Sir Valient packed a ton of detail into this fairly small space, including numerous ships and structures. But my favorite detail has to be the sea serpent, check out the bottom of the map, he's right there.
2025 Mercedes-Benz Ener-G Force
/The latest LUGnuts challenge is all about secret agents, and Lino M delivers quite an entry with this ultra custom spy car of the future. It features a extendable rotating weapons rack, missiles, a buzz saw, and can deploy a motorcycle from the passenger side! And all in a totally badass looking package.
