LEGO Exo Suit Unveiled!

What better way to unveil the Exo Suit than with a marvelous animation by long time Pete Reid collaborator Chris Salt? If you weren't excited before, this should do the trick.

More Sofa (In)Action

MacLane is on a roll with is awesome "couch" series of MOCs. The latest has everything from a little post apocalyptic relaxation to Cobra and GIjOE in their lighter moments. These are amazing not only for how iconic and instantly recognizable they are, but how each one tells a different (and hilariously mundane) story. 

It's Coming...

LEGO Ideas designer Peter Reid is teasing us, but I'm OK with it. Mainly because I know we're so very close to finally getting our hands on his mechanical bipedal beauty the Exo Suit. I had the honor of holding the original in my hands and I can't wait to play with it's brethren.

Looks Like Trouble In Sector 11

Salvage team Alpha Zero Nine has been dispatched to sector 11 responding to a distress call. They might have found more than they bargained for...

LL-6913

Retro-New is the first thing that comes to mind when trying to describe builder billyburg's latest little space cruiser. Most of the building techniques and parts used are modern, but the color mix along with our brave pilot send me back to the classic LEGO 80's-something space program. However, unlike the mostly exploration based space series of the 80's, I can totally see a small fleet of these things spilling out of a large corsair ship, speeding off to engage some unknown alien threat.

Titanfall WWII

This so needs to be a thing. Builder Kosmas Santosa has mashed up Titanfall and classic World War II conflict in this amazing MOC. How cool would that alternate universe be? Imagine these things walking out of the water on Normandy Beach. Somebody call EA quick!

It's Nerdly's Birthday!

Yes, it was one year ago today that BrickNerd officially launched. It's been a crazy year, and I can't thank all of you enough for your support. I'd love to flood you with some amazing stats like number of posts, Likes on Facebook and stuff like that, but I haven't had time to gather any. I can tell you it's been a ton of fun, and you all rock! I have big plans for this year and I hope you'll all be there. Thanks for visiting!

Gundam Fever

I have some alarming news, builder Orion Pax has caught Gundam fever. Although little is known about this disease it would appear the only way to treat it is to build some amazing mechs. I think he'll get better though, if these MOCs are any indication. Check out his website for a ton more pictures of this amazing build.

Update: Alex was kind enough to provide me with an exclusive pic of some Gundam jewelry he's built as a companion piece. Feast your eyes on this serious bling.

Cove Island Map

This is a fun little concept, a micro scale building of a relief map. Sir Valient packed a ton of detail into this fairly small space, including numerous ships and structures. But my favorite detail has to be the sea serpent, check out the bottom of the map, he's right there.

2025 Mercedes-Benz Ener-G Force

The latest LUGnuts challenge is all about secret agents, and Lino M delivers quite an entry with this ultra custom spy car of the future. It features a extendable rotating weapons rack, missiles, a buzz saw, and can deploy a motorcycle from the passenger side! And all in a totally badass looking package.

Behold The Beholder

Because he's beholding you! Now roll a 20X and see how many SSP (supreme squee points) you gained. V&A Steamworks has combined Mixels and D&D to create a true nerd mashup and the results are very cute, I mean terrifying, I mean adorable, I mean...

Level Eleven

If this is what level 11 looks like, I am not sure I want to see levels 1 through 10 much less 12 and beyond. I mean seriously, what is going on with the pulsating lumps of techno-worms and why are those people in green ooze tanks, guarded by creepy looking alien-things? Perhaps it is best to ask creator Bart De Dobbelaer or read the comic this is based on, Nemesis - Level11.

Blue Hawaiian

Here at BrickNerd we like to look back from time to time, and across the Pacific. My Hawaiian vacation is coming to an end and it's been lovely. I didn't get to see any cool Hawaiian style customs while I was here, but I seriously doubt I'd see anything as cool as this classic beetle from Lino M. Surf's up dude!

The First Hipster

Mr Algernon Moncrieff, in my opinion, was the first hipster. While learning the importance of being earnest (see what I did there?) he led a double life, dodging the responsibilities of aristocratic Victorian London. Today, he'd wear a stupid beanie, have a beard and mustache wax, and vape like there's no tomorrow. Nice build vitreolum.

Epic Springfield Is Epic

If you were fortunate enough to attend Brickworld Chigago (I wasn't, sad face) then you had the opportunity to drool on this in real life. I'll have to settle for drooling on this desk here in my hotel room (don't tell housekeeping, that's gross). While taking on Carl Merriam in an incredible round of Iron Builder the great Pepa Quin built The Android's Dungeon from The Simpsons, and it all sort of happened from there.

Anaconda Falls

Wow, LEGO Adventurers - talk about a majorly underutilized theme in the LEGO universe! I have always been a fan of LEGO Adventurers and its hero Johnny Thunder and, as result, I am a fan on this MOC even if it is missing theme regulars Pippin Reed and Dr. Kilroy.  JBIronworks and his brother DBExplorer have done a wonderful job recreating what looks to be the beginnings of an excellent treasure-hunting adventure for our hero that even Indiana Jones would be proud of. The similarities between Johnny Thunder and Indiana Jones were always undeniable which is, perhaps, one of the reasons why the Adventures theme was canceled in 2003 to prepare for Indiana Jones Theme in 2008.

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...

Corvette Beatrix

Due to the constraints of a dying battery while I'm on vacation without my charger I will have to limit my description of this MOC by Sebeus to HOLY COW LOOK AT THIS BEAUTY! Click through for more pics!

Gary Larson In Bricks

I loved The Far Side, still do. There are few comics that could weave so much smart humor into a single panel, and none could rival Gary Larson. I sincerely hope this MOC from Sly Owl is just the first of many. There's so much material to take advantage of, and it's all absolutely brilliant.

Octan Corporate Headquarters

It would seem even the world of Micropolis isn't immune to the encroachment of corporate greet and dominance. This corporate headquarters by Steebles is brilliant. Even at such a small scale the building seems imposing and impersonal. The use of the crates as paneled walls is inspired, and the balance of details vs broad strokes is perfect.
