Tow Rod

Sure you've seen hot rods before, maybe even some unusual ones. We've seen a popcorn truck, a beer truck, even the Munsters hot rods, but have you ever seen a tow truck hot rod? Well now you have, thanks to the mad skills of Norton74. This thing looks capable of not only leaving the competition in the dust, but he can tow them back to the starting line after winning.

Wheels Of Steel

I've always wanted to play with one of these, but the opportunity has never been there. I cut my teeth on early hip-hop and electro, with the likes of RUN DMC, Newcleus and Sugar Hill Gang (yes, I used to break dance too, that was a LONG time ago). This half-scale twin Technics setup by delta.triangle makes me want to break out my vinyl.

Voltron: Defender of the Universe!

Okay, team:  Activate your interlocks, connect your dyna-therms, and up your infra-cells.  Never knew what that last one meant, but anyway... Let's go Voltron Force!  Check out this detailed and functional LEGO reproduction of a classic 80's cartoon robot by승훈 이.  He's got all the poses, too, not only for Voltron, but all of the individual Lions.  "Form Blazing Sword!"

Wet Nellie

I don't recall if I went to see The Spy Who Loved Me at the theater or not, It came out the same year as Star Wars and I did see a lot of movies back then. What I do recall is watching Bond climb into this lovely machine and speed away, and the collective jaw-drop as it turned into a sub later in the film. That was the very first time I remember seeing a car on screen and thinking "oh I gotta have me one of those". It's still one of my favorite 007 moments, and now it's one of my favorite MOC moments thanks to EROL.

Bad Robot

If someone told me you could convey the logo for JJ Abrams' production company Bad Robot in around 22 parts I would have been skeptical. Yet here it is courtesy of builder Takamichi Irie. I love it when so few parts can come together to create something instantly recognizable, very clever. I've been wondering how this and the Disney logo will factor in to the classic Star Wars film opening, I guess we'll find out in just over a month (!!!)

Jurassic Park III

You just have to wonder about theme park operators and giant, dangerous, prehistoric beasts. Haven't those guys seen those other two movies? Anyway, feast your eyes on this truly epic MOC by markus19840420, it's part of a collaboration with Disco86 and absolutely jaw dropping. Normally I would wait until everything was posted and then feature, but I was so blown away by this I had to share. Stay tuned for the whole collaboration coming soon.

Feeling The Pressure

The latest Iron Builder rages on, and if history is any indication, both builders should be equipped with one of these little babies by cmaddison, because the pressure is 'building' (see what I did there?) I've personally never competed, and I don't think I ever will. Because I'd be redlining from the start and probably blow a gasket by week two .

Fómhar

A cooling of the air, a wisp of wind from the north, warm colors on the trees and pumpkin spice at Starbucks, must be fall. Builder Pate-keetongu is celebrating the seasons in a series of builds, this one is fall, and she's a beauty. The blend of Bionicle and System parts here is flawless, the color use is perfect and the sculpting is divine, what a lovely season this is.

Life-Size BB-8

Star Wars The Force Awakens is still over a month away (I can hardly take it!) but there's no shortage of EP7 inspired MOCs these days. I think it's awesome we have another three movies coming to excite and inspire builders, we're going to see some awesome stuff in the coming months and years. Like this mind-blowing life-size BB-8 by mdoupe! This little droid has certainly caught the imagination of the world, and we haven't even seen the movie yet.

Red Rocket Station

The anticipation for Fallout 4 is hitting fever pitch, and the MOCs inspired by it are already making their way online. This one by builder 'rolli almost slipped by it's so good. I genuinely skimmed right past it at first thinking it was just concept art, it was only the top of the rocket that caught my eye at the last microsecond. Wow, what a build and what a shot, perfect!

Holy Micro Builds Batman!

I've spent SO much time over the last couple years engrossed in the world of Gotham and Batman, so much so I'm frankly a bit burned out. But this wonderful microscale Batman set got me instantly excited, so there's still some hope for me. I LOVE this, all the tiny details, all the figures, all the vehicles and play features, it's awesome. I generally try to avoid posting LEGO Ideas stuff, but I would love to see this actually made. Head over to LEGO Ideas to support.

Once Upon A Time

Leave it to builder vitreolum to not only bring these classic fairytale princesses to life in brick, but to make them downright...sexy. Whether it's Snow White being tempted with a poison apple, Red Riding Hood getting creeped on by Big Bad Wolf or Repunzel getting all wrapped up with hair (and nothing else), all of these MOCs are gorgeous.
