Over the years there have been many attempts to get a piece of the handheld market from Nintendo. One that was actually not bad was the Neo Geo Color. It ate batteries like there was no tomorrow, but it came with Sonic The Hedgehog, which was pretty cool. This version by lego27bricks is spot-on.
The International Space Station is truly an island in space. There's no running down to the market when you run out of toilet paper. So the importance of the unmanned resupply vehicles that shuttle essentials back and forth from the ISS is critical. This is the Kounotori (White Stork) by Kei_Kei_Flic that supplies the Japan module, and it's pretty slick.
If it goes viral, you can bet it's on Ochre Jelly's radar. And if it needs a good mocking, he's gonna be in the bricks. And if he's in the bricks, we all win. Well played Mr. Jelly, well played.
I keep pausing to look at this MOC by pif500, which means I should really be sharing it. It's a fine example of how to don't have to build big to build well. And how a simple photograph, well executed, elevates that build. I love the new swirly pieces as tentacles, genius!
One of the things I love about living on the central coast of California (and conversely, hate about visiting relatives in the mid-west) is the lack of insects. Sure we have bugs, but mosquitos are fairly rare and we don't suffer like they do elsewhere. But you know, if the were as cool as this MOC by captainsmog, I might not dislike them so much.
It's a little derpy, and not quite accurate (I'm a stickler, I know, but I have a pretty accurate one hanging in my house) but the truly amazing thing is this is LEGO, at least most of it is. Well played Omar + kamitera.
Why are you reading this? Didn't you see the title? Go get this tee! No really, stop reading and go. Why are you still here? You think this is funny? Are you waiting for something funny? OK fine, Why did the baby cross the road? It was duct taped to the chicken...there, now go!
UPDATE: Too late, it's gone already. You gotta be quick with Tee Fury
It always feels really awkward to blog my own stuff, but I'm really proud of my involvement in the LEGO Adventure Book Volume 2 and I finally posted some pictures on Flickr yesterday. I was also feeling the need to prove that I do build from time to time, it's just all top secret stuff anymore. Many, many thanks to Pete Reid for loaning me the corridor. That's him working on the blip on the table.

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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
