Thanks for the head's up Bill!

You know what makes really cool camera moves happen in stop motion animation? Motion control, that's what. I've launched a gofundme campaign to get one of these little beauties at BrickNerd Studios. Click through to help.
Ready, Set, GO
/I've never played go, but I've seen it played, and this brick-built version by joeseidon not only looks perfect, but it's totally playable. And unlike the cheap pressboard versions I see from time to time, this really makes me want to play! I dig the totally clean construction and the use of the X-pod containers is perfect. I can see this occupying a small gaming table for years to come.
Fine Scale Modeler
/The hours and days and weeks I spent as a child building and painting model kits are beyond measure. No sooner did I finish a model than another box was being opened, sometimes two at a time. So to see this makes me not only impressed by some serious building chops, but also nostalgic. Nice work edguy20!
Merry Christmas From BrickNerd!
/It's Christmas morning, I've got my Star Wars jammies and killer rabbit slippers on, the fire is crackling and soon we'll be opening presents. As I reflect on the past year I am filled with joy and happiness. Thank you all for visiting BrickNerd, watching my videos, hanging out with me and encouraging me to pursue this wonderfully ridiculous endeavor. I look forward to the year ahead and I hope you'll all be there with me. Merry Christmas!
Merry Moko Christmas
/Tis the season for awfully cute MOCs, and this one by Moko is awfully awfully cute. That's a whole lot of personality packed into a small holiday MOC. The pose, expression and construction is perfect. What a wonderful little bundle of seasonal fun.
Snootchie Bootchies
/Fact: Kevin Smith is one of my favorite directors
Fact: Jay and Silent Bob crack me up, and I recognized them instantly in this MOC by vitreolum
Fact: I worked on Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, so I'm biased
Fact: This MOC is the shiznit
BrickNerd Episode 209 - Santa's Workshop & The Tumbler
/Our Christmas present to you, a fresh lump of coal in the form of another BrickNerd episode. This episode features a double showcase of Santa's Workshop and The Tumbler.
The Blue Shield Inn
/I imagine that if I was a traveler in medieval times, an inn like this one from builder Halhi14 would be such a welcome sight. I can easily imagine this because even if I was traveling today I think I would be irresistibly drawn to this place. How could you resist such rich detail rustic charm?
Merry Christmas From Hoth
/This is a delightful holiday surprise. One of the most celebrated alternative LEGO photographers, Avanaut, is back from his hiatus. And what a lovely return it is. This tells the story of TK-24/7 on a lonely, but quite agreeable patrol mission on Hoth. Who would have thought a AT-ST could be so tranquil?
SteamCarPunkTrain
/Venerable car builder and auto enthusiast Lino Martins has broken new ground with this masterful MOC. It's a unique and mind-blowing mashup of car, train, steampunk and black magic (and they said it couldn't be done). I think both Grampa Munster or James T. West's arch enemy Lovelace would look right at home in this dark beast.
Reindeer Barn
/No, you didn't miss this in the catalog, and don't plan on rushing down to the LEGO Store to pick this up. It only exists in the creative mind of 6kyubi6. It was built for the Expand the Winter Village Contest V over on Eurobricks. Don't feel so bad, it almost fooled me too.
Painted On The Sprue
/I've made no secret of my affection for Pete Reid and Yvonne Doyle. They were my best friends during my time in London. It is truly an honor to have yourself immortalized as a Minifig, and I consider it an honor to know them. This little tribute to classic plastic model building is perfect, and what I've come to expect from one of the best builders in the world.
*Sniff Sniff Sniff*...*Lick Lick Lick*...Nothing
/This is my favorite character from all the Rankin & Bass Christmas classics, Yukon Cornelius, the greatest prospector in the north. When he throws his pick in the air and sniffs and licks it, it never fails to crack me up. Yet another brilliant Brick Sketch from Chris McVeigh.
Kirby
/My affection for Nintendo is well known, so it probably comes as no surprise that this is getting blogged. Builder One More Brick has crafted a series of everyone favorite bubblegum lump Kirby. I know, Kirby isn't bubblegum, but to this day that's what he reminds me of. My favorite Kirby title is the one no one else seems to remember, Kirby's Pinball Land.
Yummy
/Foodcember is 2/3 over, but that's not slowing down builder KOS brick. For weeks he's been tempting us with treats delicious enough to eat, but with decidedly little nutritional value (it turns out ABS isn't a food, who knew?) There's still some time to get in on the fun, break out the bricks and start "cooking".
Farewell, Colbert Report
/As most of you know, Stephen Colbert and Comedy Central aired the last episode of The Colbert Report last night. I'm sad to see it go, but happy for Stephen and I'll be tuning in to The Late Show when he takes over next year. This was my first real MOC when I joined the ranks of the AFOL community. It was warmly received and has a special place in my heart, as does Stephen.
Gone Bananas
/Builder _Tiler never ceases to impress me, achieving phenomenal detail at small scale and using such creative building techniques. This yellow Ford is Milner's iconic hotrod from American Graffiti, and it looks fast. And the banana reference isn't just about the color, check out the back fenders, genius.
The Adventures Of Nigel
/Builder MinifigNick has recently been posting a series of charming little MOCs featuring Nigel, a slug-like monster on some adventures. I don't know the genesis of this character and I don't care, I just look forward to seeing what further antics he gets up to. He's already married (that was quick) so I guess it's on to domestic life (and of course, a minivan).
Doctor Snuggles
/I'm afraid I'm not terribly familiar with Doctor Snuggles, it never made it over the pond from the UK. But a couple Google searches reveal just how brilliant this MOC by SuckMyBrick is (as if there was any doubt). While the robot and the mouse are quite good, the good Doctor is positively wonderful.
