The Wizard
/This is a wonderfully whimsical wee wizard by Lego-Man-at-arms. There's a lot going on here clever part use wise, but let's talk about the most obvious feature...best use of croissants ever!
LEGO Room
/I want one of these some day. Right now my build area is a quarter of my garage. It's not too shabby though with some super-size shelves and a couple tables from Ikea. But wouldn't a place like this to build be totally sweet? I might go with a slightly different color scheme though...yellow flowers.
Borris The Pirate Jigbot
/This little guy oozes character. I can totally see him springing to life in a classic Harryhausen flick. I have no idea how those eyes are attached, but check out how the top of the head is attached, genius! Excellent work Brickthing.
The Dark Road
/It's always amazing to me what sparks creativity and art. This is a great example of how just "letting it happen" can lead to such great things. This started out as a tree, and evolved into a terrifying ghoul. Nice work Derfel Cadarn.
Review - Beautiful LEGO
/
This book is utterly gorgeous, from cover to cover. It goes far beyond a typical compilation of pictures, Mike has put a ton of work into this. From the thoughtful order and arrangement, to the meticulous coloration of some backgrounds he has gathered the art of others and his own and created new art, greater than the sum of it's parts.

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'!
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.
The LEGO Adventure Book Volume 2
/
The veil of secrecy has been lifted and I can finally share this news: I'm in the next LEGO Adventure Book!!! As you can tell I'm very excited about this book, and very proud to be a featured builder in it. Megan Rothrock contacted me late last year to ask if I would be involved and I jumped at the chance.

/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.
