Gotta love this. Builder Legohaulic brings us the intrepid heroes of The Force Awakens in a fun, charismatic way. Poe, Rey, Finn and BB-8 are all instantly recognizable and just oozing with character. I bet this form factor would be fun to animate with, hmmm...
Do you think it might have undermined his menace slightly if Darth Vader's lightsaber was as cute and almost chibi as this version by KOSbrick? It has an appealing chunky, stumpy and rounded feel that the real one lacks, and I'm totally ok with it. Check out the video for more views.
As I begin Star Wars day 2016, this was one of the first images I saw on Flickr. Builder cmaddison was going for a retro stylistic 70's graphic look but isn't sure he succeeded. I can tell you Chris, you totally did. It's got an excellent retro feel and I recognized it instantly. My first reaction was "ohh", then a smile, then John Williams music in my head.
You may have wondered what happened after the events on Pandora in the movie Avatar. Well, here's a possible scenario not only in story, but in a jaw-dropping diorama of significant scale. Builder The Steads imagines a future where after promising to have no military presence and to be very good (really Na'avi, don't trust humans, we're really no good) humans were allowed to return and do a little mining. For the full story and to drool on high res pics click through.
...These were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect little girls

I am not ashamed to admit I have this track on my iPod. I'm also not ashamed to admit I really dig this MOC by madoruk.
Rotary engines have always fascinated me. I understand the principal, but something as complicated as a four cycle engine is difficult enough to wrap your head around, now make it spin. But they certainly are lovely to look at, especially this one by Karf Oohlu.
You kids with your multi-cores, iPhones and fancy color computers, you don't know the struggle. You haven't lived until you've installed a program from 15 floppy disks, or accidentally erased your new game by putting your headphones down on the tape, and don't get me started on modems...
A lovely bit of old school computing nostalgia from Powerpig
Here at BrickNerd we like to look back from time to time, and to Gotham. I somehow missed this awesome Burton Batmobile by Riskjockey last year, and it's time to correct that oversight. I've always been a big fan of this particular Batmobile. It's got flash, but not too much, it's got menace, but just enough to scare the bad guys, and it's got style.
Rey kicked much ass in The Force Awakens, and most of it didn't require the use of a blaster. But it was a nice moment when Han handed her this blaster and she remarks "I think I can handle myself" to which he replies "I know, that's why I'm giving it to you". This version by Lego Admiral captures it's look and feel pretty perfectly.
I've only flown first class twice, and I've never been into one of the swanky lounges at the airports, but I imagine they all look like this nifty space by builder Snaillad. This first in a hopeful series has a distinct retro feel of the 50's and 60's, which makes it all the more some place I want to hang out.
Not being a huge Transformers fan I needed to do a quick Google search before I posted this and learned that Nemesis Prime, here depicted with supreme skill by builder MortalSwordsman, is an evil clone of Optimus Prime, having most of his abilities but lacking his moral compass. I also learned that he hates Christmas. So not only can he disguise himself as a truck, transform and wreak havoc, but he's also got something against Santa, what a jerk.
Life in medieval times must have been a strange combination of difficult yet simple. Not that the art of smithing is easy in any way, it's hard work all the way back to the quarry, but you knew if you took this rock, smashed it up, built a really hot fire and threw it in, you'd end up with some metal that you could then shape (yes, I super simplified the art of smelting). And you could sell or trade that metal stuff for goods or food you didn't make or grow yourself, like the smith depicted in this beautiful MOC by Julandrius, seems pretty blissful. Sure the average life expectancy was 31 years and every other small country around you wanted you dead, but at least when you sat down at a meal everyone didn't pull out their damn iPhone.
Thorsten Bonsch has created this nifty moc exclusively for Blocks Magazine. It's a lighthearted take on the recent movie concept. Instead of tearing apart Metropolis, they've opted to take Martha Kent's suggestion to try some one-on-one basketball to settle their differences. You might have noticed there was a little incident with Clark's heat vision, but looks like Mr. Kent has it under control.
Builder I Scream Clone is back and has expanded on this brilliant Mos Eisley Cantina MOC from last year and it's just as wretched. It's instantly recognizable as everyone's favorite desert planet (that is of course you're a fan of Jakku, and really, who's not?) and must look awesome side by side with the cantina section. Although, according to the description this is part of a 24 baseplate diorama, and I count six in this and six in the previous. Does that mean we've only seen half of it? If so I can't wait to see the rest (and eventually the whole thing assembled)!
Update: Ask and you shall receive. I Scream Clone just posted his whole section of the collaborative build. It's enormous and gorgeous. I really want to see this in person, especially when the entire collab build is assembled, it's going to be epic.
Lego Megastar Peter Reid has once again come up with a startling mini model. I vaguely remember the Tomy Omnibot from my childhood and this rendition is amazing. Making it look like what I assume is the original advertising finishes the piece nicely. This was built for New Elementary's Nexo-Classic Space Challenge. Its a little worrying that there is a chance of electric shock to children under 6, however I suppose thats the price we pay for having the future now!
At first glance this looked like one of those behemoth large machinery MOCs, but take a closer look, it's a surprisingly small large machinery MOC. This John Deere 75G by LegoMathijs is so packed with detail and accurate that you just can't tell how big it is when you first look at it, and I think that in itself is a testament to it's quality. Factor in all the cool little touches like opening panels, detailed engine and decked out interior, and you've got a winning MOC.
Pizza is pretty much the perfect food. Think about it, it's quick to prepare (well, if you already have the dough), it's easy to transport in it's own type of box, all four food groups are represented and it's delicious. Not to mention the pretty much infinite possibilities of toppings, like this yummy slice by nobu_tary, which is absolutely loaded.
I love when a MOC fools me on scale. When I clicked the thumbnail of this MOC by Czuwbaka I was genuinely surprised and delighted to discover it was microscale. That's the hallmark of a good microscale in my opinion, the illusion of scale from clever construction and careful part selection. Some pretty nifty photo editing by his friend the_jetboy puts this over the top.
No, I'm afraid this isn't a new Ultimate Collector Series set from LEGO. It turns out that LEGO's very own Kim Thomsen is a big Bioshock fan, and when he saw this awesome MOC by Imagine™, well he had to have at least a version of it, so he commissioned this MOC for his office. It makes me wonder what other treasures are in said office.
Look how fun this is! Koen has recreated a small village called Lavenlaar from an amusement park in The Netherlands. It's inhabited by mischievous folk called Laafs, according to the builder. Naturally there's a windmill, and a bakery, even a brewery. I wonder if that's what makes these folks mischievous?
Anyway, what impressed me were the comparison shots between the actual park and the LEGO. A truly remarkable reproduction--I'll drink to that!
