More tributes to Nnenn continue to show up, like this nifty little craft by Doctor Mobius. The color scheme on this is great, very eye-catching. My favorite details are the checkerboards on one size with a subtle asymmetry on the other side and the little 1x1 round tiles on the sides. It's small attentions to detail like this that separate a good MOC from a great MOC.
Mark Stafford is no stranger to space, but even those completely familiar with their surroundings need a ride every once in a while. Enter Space Taxis, a new group on Flickr. Mark invites us all to build a taxi, or limo, or whatever. So who's going to add the first pedicab?
Inspired by Iain Heath's Beth, Lego Junkie brings us Chris. They are destined to be together at BrickCon 2013. But now that we have Beth, Chris and Catbug, it's up to you intrepid builders to assemble the rest of the cast...go!
This is freaking awesome. I actually laughed out loud when I saw it. The captured action is brilliant, check out the troopers tumbling out and the displaced snow shooting away from the head. Jim Walshe posted this but did not create it. Will the builder please step up?
UPDATE! We now know who the builder is, Daft Vader1 has come forward. Not only that, there's plenty more pictures of this awesome MOC.

As we ramp up to the release of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug I'm sure we'll see plenty Tolkien inspired MOCs, like this spectacular rendition of Bombur. An all studs out build can add tons of texture, as you can see. Nice work Pate-keetongu.
Intrepid LEGO reporters Joshua Hanlon and Matthew Kay have been "Ochresized", immortalized in brick. Very few non-infamous or celebrities have enjoyed this honor. While the caricatures are exceptional, I have to admit my favorite little bit of this is the distressed Mr. Sandwich.
According to Asimov's laws for robots:
1. A robot my not harm a human, so no undercooked meat.
2. A robot must obey orders, make mine medium please.
3. A robot must protect itself, so don't burn my steak and no one gets hurt.
Nice build Karen Quinn ! My Weber seems so...inadequate now.
Please keep your hands, arms, legs and feet inside the vehicle at all times (if you want to keep them). Few would argue that the Samson is the coolest vehicle in Avatar, and this version by ~The Steads~ is just as cool. It's big, beautiful and badass.
If you've been into the AFOL scene for a while and you're a fan of space, you've probably heard of Nnenn. Before his untimely passing nearly three years ago he was one of the most influential and talented builders in the community. His work continues to inspire builders all over the world. Right now there's a Tribute to Nnenn Challenge going on Flickr and this build by James Asbury is an entry. It's a fitting tribute to an amazing builder.
The west was never wilder. Check out our review of 79108 Lone Ranger Stagecoach Escape.
Read MoreLEGOLIZE IT MAN has done it again, another bitchin' little space ship. This one has a modular design, as seen in the lower images. The graphics presentation really sells the whole concept though, I love a well presented MOC.
Witches have never really scared me. Unless you consider the time I was working on Hansel & Gretel, then I was scared most of the time (of eye strain, stupid stereography). This witch however gives me quite the opposite reaction, more like Elizabeth Montgomery, she's adorable. I like the cat too. Nice work Lego Junkie!
...Violets are blue,
Some poems rhyme,
This one doesn't.
Some lovely flowers from a very skilled builder, fvin&yan.
But I appreciate a good arena, and this is excellent. The mosaic is really well done, with great color. I especially like the giant stone warrior though, it really makes the piece.
A special San Diego Comic-Con episode, with a review of the Back To The Future Delorean, news and recent MOCs.
I love old VWs. My first real car was a burnt orange classic '72 standard beetle, with tinted one-piece front windows, tinted quarters, lowered stance and get this..black flames (yeah, awesome). I really like these MOCs by Legopard, they have a playful quality that just screams classic VW.
In 1989 when Tim Burton's Batman came out I was super busy at work. Consequently I had to wait a couple weeks before I had time to see it. During that time all my fanboy friends were quite gleefully bashing the hell out of it, so I entered the theater expecting the worst. I loved it. I learned a lesson that day to make my own mind up about things, to try and have an open mind and no pre-conceptions. This Batmobile is also one of my favorites, probably because we hadn't seen anything like it at the time. Nice work Ralph, you nailed it.
