These dapper gentlemen and lady are very proud of the museum's latest acquisition, the full skeleton of Diplodocus carnegii. The use of different small elements to diminish scale, like the clips moving to minifig hands along the tail, is fantastic. And the overall proportioning is splendid. Nice work, MolochBaal.
I've waited a long time for this book. Pete Reid confided in me quite some time back that he and Tim were working on a book, and working hard on it. I knew it was about space, I knew it would be awesome and I knew it would be out around now. But that's all I knew. I wanted it to be a surprise, I didn't ask for any more info and he didn't offer. Well, it's finally in my hands and let me tell you, it's gorgeous.
Read MoreEveryone's getting ready for the holidays. Traditionally Thanksgiving kicks things off, but I was seeing Christmas crap in Michael's in August. Anyway, if you like football, drunk distant relatives and copious amounts of food, Thanksgiving is your day. And you only have a little more than a week to wait. Mr. Rancor couldn't wait, but thanks to DigiNik13 and this awesome picture, we can all look forward to a little gobble gobble.
As many of you know, I'm a Disney fan. In fact I was supposed to be at Disneyland today, but plans changed. It would have been nice to be there to celebrate the 85th birthday of everyone's favorite mouse. This MOC by Polywen is excellent, one of my favorite Mickey's ever done in bricks.
I remember building the LEGO Discovery Mars Rover set as I watched the live feed from NASA on landing day. There's something about space technology that just lends itself to LEGO construction. This awesome MOC by Rogue Bantha is proof of that. It's just one of the many, many phenomenal MOCs in LEGO Space, Building The Future.
I just got my review copy of this book and first impressions are really good. I'll be doing a proper review in the next few days, but it's awesome!
I remember distinctly being 9 years old and watching this scene, my heart soaring. Then there was that moment when I thought, "hey, Chewie didn't get a medal, what the heck?"
This is from an upcoming book called LEGO Galaxy: Build Your Own Universe. Coming out in December.
CCCXI is heating up and the entries are getting more eye-popping. I love the houses in this MOC by Derfel Cadarn, with their sagging roofs and rich detail. And the textures on those walls is amazing. Really, how can you go wrong with two jesters fighting to the death?
We had our first holiday party last night. Actually, we called it a pre-holiday kick-off party. Since traditionally things don't really get started until after Thanksgiving. But you wouldn't know it by walking into Wal-Mart, or any other retailer for that matter. So what the heck, let's get this season started with some charming little elves from True Dimensions.
This is a seriously mean looking machine. Shelby is synonymous with muscle, and this MOC by Sheepo is faithful to the name. There's quite a few pictures of this beast on Flickr, click through to gawk.
It's a simple proposition, and very inviting. It's my sentiment exactly when I see a pile of bricks. The potential for a simple handful of bricks is limited only by your imagination. And beyond concept this is a nice MOC and photograph on it's own. A cheery little invitation to let your creativity soar.
December is almost here, and with it come holiday cheer, ginger bread lattes and... oh who am I kidding, it's all about Desolation of Smaug! Disco86 brings us this excellent MOC depicting the hair raising barrel escape.
Oh Karf, my day isn't complete without gazing upon one of your wonderfully odd MOCs. This one is particularly odd, and wonderful. I looks like something that hatched from a meteor.
If you've paid any attention to the news or social media, you know that San Francisco was transformed into Gotham City today to make a special little boy's dream come true: to be Batman for a day. Riddler may have tried to steal some money, but Miles, you stole our heart. You're my hero.
The term "more of the same" is far too often used in a negative context. When I'm talking about The LEGO Build-It Book Volume 2 More Amazing Vehicles it should be thought of as being in the the same spirit as "more chocolate cake", or "more heart containers" or "more foot massages". Sometimes more of the same thing is totally awesome!
Read MoreI've never been much into comics (yeah, bad nerd) but there are a few strips I always appreciated, and Calvin & Hobbs is one of them. This rendition by Bricksky captures them absolutely perfectly. Winter is coming isn't it?
This excellent MOC depicts a young William Wallace training, but I'm more captivated by that babbling brook. I've never seen horn pieces used to simulate water texture, very cool effect. The tree is quite nice too.
Featuring BrickJournal Magazine and a review of all three LEGO Minecraft sets.
It's been a long time since I've messed with expansion slots. I switched to exclusive laptop use several years ago. But if the hardware was this irresistible back then I may never have left. Awesome work Brickthing .
