I Had Every One Of These

In fact, I still have my original GameBoy in a box in my garage. None of these MOCs by lego27bricks is new, but they've all been assembled for the first time to show a proud heritage of the greatest handheld gaming device, the Nintendo GameBoy. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got some dungeon mischief to manage in Lowrule on my 3DS XL...

Brickworld Report, Part 4 - It's All in the Details

From easter eggs to beach chairs, church pews to clever lighting, colorful balloons to vertical mosaics, no detail is too small when it comes to your LEGO MOC. It is those little bits that add life, character, and interest to your piece. I enjoyed poring over the details at Brickworld and it seemed that each time I looked at a MOC, I would discover a new little nugget.

Caterham Super 7

These just make me want to put on some driving gloves, slip on some goggles and go motoring through the UK countryside. Car enthusiasts will recognize these beauties instantly as Caterham  7's, world renown for their small two seater form factor and Lotus heritage. They are masterfully recreated here by Bricktrix, so much so in fact that from a thumbnail, they look totally authentic.

Robotic Hand

BrickNerd_MOCstalgia.jpg

Here at BrickNerd we like to look back from time to time, even to our own past. Way back before I made the switch to digital effects I did creature effects and animatronics. I've built many hands in my time, but I don't think any were as cool as this one from Barman76. I really like the linkage on the fingers, allowing all four to gracefully move independently, but be driven by two motors, genius! Watch the video, you'll be amazed.

Bowser

He may not have been the very first final boss, but he was probably the one the most people have gone up against. Meet Bowser, from Nintendo's ubiquitous series of Mario games. Bowser is the widely considered the principal cause of damage to Nintendo game controllers (due to caffeine-fueled rages of frustrated gamers). This version by Sir Nadroj is pretty perfect (and not likely to cause any damage).

Brickworld Report, Part 3 - Individual Creations

Though collaborations make LEGO conventions unique by bringing multiple builders' collections and techniques together, it is the skill of the individual builder that we truly marvel at. Building alone can often be just as challenging and frustrating as writing creatively. But I think you will agree that the results can be stunning. Below are just a handful of the excellent individual creations on display at Brickworld 2014.

Stick around for our last and final report - It's All in the Details.
