I didn't get to Brickworld this year, and MOCs like these make me regret it. This is the Wonka Collaborative, from Dave Kaleta, Max Pointner, Ian Spacek and Paul Vermeesch. I started blogging them individually, but's that's kinda nuts (don't touch that squirrel's nuts!) so there's all here in one gigantic post. There's too much to go into so I'll just say, look!
The girls of Friends know luxury when they see it, and they know firepower when they wield it. This is another Friends vs Fabuland MOC and it's awesome. I rarely laugh out loud when browsing Flickr, but this one got me. Love it.
Seeing Der Steinadler navigating this small asteroid field I can hear the dramatic music in my head. It's like the illegitimate love child of Doc Brown's flying steam train and Jabba's sail barge, with a slick black paint job. I wanna swoosh it.
Jeff Boen has built a reputation as one of the premiere gun builders in the AFOL community. Now he brings his building and weapon knowledge to you with The BrickGun Book.
Read MoreThis is a brilliant little MOC. With very few pieces (and the 1x4 smiley) Flickr user AC Pin manages to capture all the character of a minion. The photograph isn't the greatest, but it's cool and cute enough I had to blog it. And the next time I run across a smiley, I'll probably have to make my own.
That's a big MOC. That's a really big MOC. But size alone does not impress me, in fact I think there's too much emphasis on size sometimes. Big does not really equal great. But in this case, holy moly there's a lot to love. This is a collaborative build by oLaF LM, 74louloute and 6kyubi6 for "Fana'Briques 2013". It's immense, and there's detail everywhere you look. It has a cool steampunk meets medieval vibe I've never really seen and it works. More pics after the jump.

These walls are texturiffic. The combination of grays, the profile bricks, the occasional stud and round makes for very rich detail. What would be a fairly simple, boxy castle is transformed into a very nice piece. The addition of snow details adds story and life to it as well.
Excuse me while I shake my head in disbelief. How in the world have I not seen work by Arjan Oude Kotte before? I'm scrolling through his photostream and it's one amazing ship after another. Like this one... holy cow!
Here's a nifty little firearm. It sort of reminds me of Hellboy's gun Good Samaritan with a cool sci-fi look. It's got a working dot sight, top-break design, positionable hammer and a number of other cool features. Check out other pics and a video after the jump.
Legohaulic brings us another brilliant little MOC. This one is an expressive and posable robot. He's promising more pictures in the coming days so I will add more to this post as they come. I can see how a little rotation on those paint bucket eyes is instant eyebrow expressions, I look forward to what else we'll see.
Additional poses
I have to confess ignorance of the origins of this mech, and some quick Google searches left me even more confused. Regardless, I like the pose, the color, the build and the photography. And if I like it, it gets blogged :-)
This is a twist on MOCstalgia, since it's flashback MOC, but in a new display. Check out this custom table built by Jay Hayward to house an amazing MOC by Dave Kaleta. The two compliment each other in a bizarre way. It looks like it would be right at home in the foyer of a natural history museum.
This is gorgeous. Excellent building, excellent photography and excellent processing. This is the total package people. From a thumbnail you would swear it's just a picture of an old church. Not that this is the true goal of any MOC, but in this case it just doesn't get much better. Outstanding work.
I can't decide if this is a glimpse of the future, or a thing of nightmares. Either way it's really cool. Inspired by artwork by Keith Thompson (definitely more on the nightmare side), Piotr H. brings us this sinewy beast.
Jake and Elwood never looked better than they do posing in front of this genius reproduction of the Bluesmobile. Yeah, it's not the Caddie. Yeah, Jake just got out of the joint. Yeah, it's a used police car. But it's got a lot of pick-up, a cop motor, cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks and it'll run on regular...just needs a new cigarette lighter.
Iain Heath (OchreJelly) has put together a very amusing and informative video on how to ruin...err, dye your bricks for a stunning effect. It's actually rather simple, once you get over the random staining, chemical burns and hate mail from LEGO purists. WARNING: bricks were indeed harmed in the making of this video (but we understand no animals were, except maybe the fish).
Well this is a dapper little game cartridge. Like I've said, I'm a sucker for Nintendo, and this little guy is awesome. Great building techniques to get the iconic shape of the classic Gameboy cartridge plus excellent anthropomorphization (there's a five dollar word for ya). Makes me want to dust off the Tetris.
This post has been days coming, as Flickr user Mark of Falworth has been slowly revealing this masterpiece. Now that it's complete, I can share, and you can gawk. Look at those colors, the terrain work, the waterfall, the trees, the lodge...good grief this thing's got a lot going on. And it's all gorgeous.
Hop in the Bat Time Machine for a blast from the past! There are plenty of LEGO car builders out there, some of them quite good, but they all agree that the king of cars is Lino Martins. This is one of my favorites, the '66 Batmobile. You know you heard the theme in your head when you looked at this (I guess the post title might have had some influence too).
