PVC Chess

BrickCon is almost here (I Probably better get building huh?) and the theme this year is Pigs VS Cows. This chess set by Dodge is but a taste of the barnyard wackiness that is sure to be on the convention floor next week. 

Assembly Line

This little MOC by customBRICKS caught my eye. It's to promote their new biohazard containers, both empty and full. The build is clean and very nicely photographed, but what cracks me up is the notion that somewhere out there is an assembly line just diligently cranking out containers of hazardous green goo.

Boom!

Judging by the Hensler-Murmont scale of nerd popularity (namely the number of costumes worn of a particular character at Comic-Con), Deadpool is wildly popular. But I'm actually more excited by this MOC. The explosion is way cool and that motorcycle is just totally awesome.

Only One Week Left To Pimp!

Yo pimp daddies (sorry, trying to be hip and cool, didn't work did it?) There's only one week left in the BrickNerd "Pimp My Nerdly" contest. The entries so far have just blown us away, so many cool MOCs! Head over to the Flickr group for rules and to enter. Get pimpin'!

Goliath

I really like the aesthetics on this ship. It's like a combination of Star Trek and Star Wars sensibilities, but with it's own flair. Excellent use of color, detail and especially proportions. And the lettering is brick built, outstanding. She's a beauty TranceM89.

LEGO Deals

Amazon has a few deals going on sets. As you know, sale LEGO is a bit like bigfoot, in that it's rarely seen (but I understand it smells much better).

Mighty No. 9

Mega Man fans rejoice, Beck is here. No it's not a sequel to Mega Man, but it's from Keiji Inafune and the same veteran team. Many consider it the "spiritual successor". Crowdfunded from a highly successful Kickstarter campaign (which is still going by the way) fans can expect to see this game in 2015. Bruce Lowell will probably be first in line.

BrickNerd Episode 106

Featuring DIY LEGO frames and a review of 79006 The Lord of the Rings Council of Elrond. 

Menacing Hardsuit

This hardsuit (I'm assuming it's a hardsuit, there's no description) by Tsan-Nien looks ready for action.  I really like the arms on this thing, very cool. I don't know if it's a happy accident, but the photo on this one has a grungy immediacy to it, with blurred vignetting and barrel distortion adding drama instead of flaw, I dig it.

A Study In Scale

Sure some people have build sig figs of themselves, some may have even built a CudeDude self portrait. But have you ever seen four scales? Lego-Man-at-arms has done just that with this awesome little (or not so little) collection.

Hero Factory Sphere

The notion that you could build stable geometric solids with Bionicle or Hero Factory would not have occurred to me not very long ago. But builders like NorbyZERO and Sparkytron have opened my eyes. This sphere is genius.

When Minotaurs Attack...Tonight At 11

There's no description for this, nor is the name of the image particularly helpful, but it's a pretty stunning build. There's loads of detail on this MOC, everywhere you look. And some really cool and subtle (and not so subtle) architecture techniques. Click through to check out the larger image, it's worth it.

Kubelwagen

Ah, the Kubelwagen, grandpappy of the notorious VW Type 181, the Thing. I've always had a soft spot for vintage VW, even this ugly old beast. Legohaulic built this awesome little MOC as a commission, and totally nailed it.

Zam's Blaster

I love a good prop reproduction, and this one is sweet. The tapered barrel is especially nice, and the grip, wow. A very clean and elegant build, nice work Cole. 

Captain America Vs The Red Skull

Kaboom! Wasn't expecting that were you? The Cap makes his own door in this cool little diorama by Julius No. I love captured action, especially in photos (in real life it's always cool, but a little weird) and the this wall-busting action is excellent. And check out that custom Red Skull figure, nice!

Black Box Of Magic

Cast ye eyes upon this matey, but beware...there be magic in this here box, black magic for sure. Ye be warned.

There Be Pirates Here

Aye, here at BrickNerd we keep a weather eye open on the horizon and the past. These scalawags be the most notorious pirates ever to sail, Captain Jack Sparrow and Captain Hector Barbosa. Mind yer gold matey, ye be warned.

Silver Moon

Avast there, here be a fine example of mechanical metal suit, and it be shiny as well. And that be a mighty strange cannon it carries, but deadly no doubt. You have plenty to fear landlubbers, take heed.
