Another Awesome Tee Coming Tomorrow

My friends at Tee Fury have been kind enough to give us a preview of tomorrow's shirt, and it's another amazing LEGO inspired garment of awesomeness. Stay tuned for a link to score this excellent shirt tomorrow!

BrickNerd Episode 204

The first episode to be shot in BrickNerd Studios, the new home of BrickNerd. Featuring the first wave of Mixels and all six Star Wars Microfighters. 

Space Girl

It's endlessly amazing to me how just a few mostly square plastic pieces can be combined to make such amazing characters. This curvaceous space beauty is from Wyrk Wyze. I love her contours, possibility and attitude. She's clearly ready for action and reminds me of a 50's sci-fi movie poster, love it.

Eat Like It's Your Last Day On Earth, For It May Be.

This great hall by MinifigNick is massive, and positively packed with detail. I really encourage you to click through and view the largest picture of this stunning diorama. There's detail everywhere you look and it tells a rich story of the night before a battle. Although I have to say, Sir Ethelbert Elynbrigge employs a great number of jesters, hmm.

Because Science!

Getting the detail you need into a small diorama can be tricky, but Hen Peril has managed to pull it off in this science lab with great success. The shelves are excellent as is the microscope and the air filters (or is it AC?) on the wall. The high ceilings and skylights are a perfect touch as well.

Rock Golem

This fascinating character comes from m_o_n_k_e_y. It is at once massive and delicate, intimidating and innocent. I love the use of greenery and stonework to set the scale, and the face couldn't be more simple, but perfect.

Belynia Castle

Castle Belynia by Simon Schweyer feels like it was carved out of the forest instead of built on top of it. Simon does a great job of leveraging rock inclines and angles to pull of a visually interesting earthen fortress. I hope Simon creates additional sections surrounding this castle, including perhaps a small forest village?

No Parents

Everyone can relax, Powerpig is back in Brick Sketch mode. His latest offering is everyone's favorite orphan billionaire vigilante gadget-hound with anger management issues.

Gremlin Tank

I couldn't decide if this was more awesome, or more deadly looking. Then I realized that those terms didn't have to be mutually exclusive. Then I thought maybe I'd combine the terms, but  realized that both "deadsome" and "awesly" both sound stupid. So I decided to make up a new word for it, and after much thought I hereby declare this amazing MOC by Lego Junkie "threatacular". You're welcome.

Mitgardian Trade

This is one of those MOCs that seems simple at first, and then surprises you, then continues to draw you in. The detail seems minimalistic at first, then you realize you've just not really looked. The shapes seem almost crude, then you realize it's because they're effortless. Nice work Gideon.

That Is A Tasty Burger

Here at BrickNerd we like to look back from time to time, and we like burgers. Fans of Pulp Fiction will get the reference, everybody else, just gawk at this. I would SO eat at this restaurant! Builder Bricktron brought us this totally awesome burger joint.

Magnetic Drill

This excellent bit of machinery comes from Gilcélio, who is presently battling it out with Lego Junkie in the latest Iron Builder. I've never used this particular device, but I'd swear from a thumbnail it was a actual tool and not LEGO.

Visual Poetry

This is a feast for the eyes and the soul, T. S. Eliot's immortal words and McBricker's brilliant build. Combine both with beautiful composition and you have a trifecta. Just gorgeous.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice

No trip to Disneyland is complete without a parade. Either one that you've camped out for on Main Street, or the one that you didn't plan on blocking your access to Tomorrowland. This Fantasia float by Brickbaron isn't actually based on a real float, but you wouldn't know it. I can totally see this cruising around the hub while some poor cast members bake in the sun and dance on the deck.

Midi Frame

Everyone seems as excited by the new balljoint elements as I am. Both the new Chima Legend Beasts and Mixels are loaded with them, and all in reasonably priced sets. MacLane celebrated these new awesome parts by building this fairly simple, but completely slick humanoid frame. It's just aching to be animated.

Oak Shredder

I don't know what goblins and orcs have against trees, but I have to admire their ingenuity, and their steampunky aesthetics. The Oak Shredder is clearly quite the labor saving device. And not only does it make quick work of whatever trees are around, it looks like a blast to drive. Nice work captainsmog.

Gronckle

One of the best things about How To Train Your Dragon was the design diversity of the dragons themselves. This is one of my favorites, the gronckle. There's something about his bumblebee proportions and goofy demeanor that just appeals to me. This version by Stormbringer captures him perfectly.

Intergalactic Laundry Day

The laundering and ironing of clothes has long been the bane of human existence. The endless cycle of dirtying and washing your daily apparel nearly falls under the definition of insanity. Short of hiring a maid, it is a task you cannot escape. Perhaps someday Rodney the Robot will become a reality and we can live our days with a bit more sanity.

Introducing Falworth Publishing

Castle fans are familiar with the name Mark of Falworth. Well, the brothers Erickson have launched a new endeavor, Falworth Publishing. Now the tales woven by Mark and Steven have a home, stay tuned for the first adventure.
