I do enjoy a good mashup, and builder car_mp has brought together two things that needed to be united, Star Wars and Minions. Although, Luke would probably argue that learning from Yoda was difficult enough, now he speaks in nonsensical bursts and craves bananas? At least Lando probably never knew what the deal was so he didn't know it was getting worse.
When I saw the teaser trailer for Star Wars The Force Awakens and there was that glimpse of the new stormtroopers I had a surge of childhood course through my veins. It's a thrill that's indescribable, yet here I sit trying to come up with the words. I had a little taste of it this morning too, when I saw this delightful MOC by umamen. Suddenly I'm nine years old, and I want to save the galaxy. I want to jump around with a flashlight and make swooshing noises. I want to climb aboard a starship and jump to light speed. I want some Star Wars.
OK, perhaps I've been a little over Disney stimulated lately (Disneylated?) but from the thumbnail of this MOC I thought it was Winnie the Pooh being attacked by the caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland. All Disneycentric predispositions aside this creation is the thing of nightmares! Thanks a lot Karf, now I'm gonna have to sleep with the lights on.
By total happenstance I was listening to Say Yes by Wax Tailor when I stumbled on this fantastic MOC by simply bricking it and it was a perfect match. The sense of motion and fun here is excellent. Just makes you want to get up and dance!
Move over Barbie, there's a new Dream House in town. I hope you're not in a hurry dear readers, because this stunning three story house by builder alanboar takes a little while to look at. A long while in fact because it's positively packed with detail and excellent building. Not only is each floor fully decked out, each has it's own decorating style. My favorite is the adventure theming in the bedroom. Click through for more pictures and visit the builder's website for more.
Here's a little MOC loaded with character and texture. Welcome to Bartholomew's Border Brewhouse by Aardwolf. I still haven't tried this building style yet, and may never, but I'm irresistibly drawn to it and don't even know what to call it. I saw in the comments on this MOC someone said "tilted timbers". And if that's not what it's called I'd like to propose it as a term. Who's with me?
This is truly another golden age of the comic book hero. While comic books themselves reigned supreme in the 50's, they've certainly had their ups and downs since then. But now all those heroes that kept our imaginations thrilled are making big screen appearances on a scale that would have scarcely been imagined just 20 years ago. These heroes are also enjoying a renaissance of public awareness and cultural significance that has nerds around the world overjoyed. And of course we're seeing an explosion of heroes in brick form, which makes me all kinds of happy. Like this awesome MOC of Wonder Woman by Tim Lydy, gorgeous.
The king of sci-fi prop weapons Nick Brick is back with another awesome MOC. This is the M-6 Carnifex hand cannon from Mass Effect 2. It features a moving trigger and a moving slide to simulate thermal clip ejection. I of course know nothing about the game, but I do dig a good prop, and this one looks amazing.
So, you're recently deceased and mummified huh? Well congratulations! Next stop the afterlife, just as long as you can get there. Not to worry though, you've got protection. Meet Anubis, the jackal-headed god by builder dennis qiu. Now just gather up your belongings (and don't forget your kidneys in that jar over there) and make your way to the kingdom of the dead (and no line jumping).
Sprint car racing is pretty impressive to watch. They actually race them in a nearby town and I've been a couple times. The speed is fast, the track is small, the smell is pungent, the sound is loud and the crashes are spectacular. They are small too, you don't so much get in them as much as you "put them on". Speaking of small, check out these two in bricks by Lino M...perfect.
I'm not much of a car guy, but I do love a vintage roadster, and in the 50's Jaguar was one of the car makers doing it right. They were also big in the racing scene, and this 1957 beauty by rabidnovaracer was the combination of the two. When several unsold race cars were left over at the end of the race season, Jaguar converted them to street use. They must have been a thrill.
Who knew the plants would be such allies when the zombies attacked? And who knew that so many people could be so entertained by anthropomorphized vegetation doing battle with formerly living cartoon humans? And who knew that brick-build personifications of said vegetation could be so adorable? Nice build Lego Bunny.
Why let the lack of rails stop your needs for hunting and forward progress? Climb about this steam powered wonder of the age and set out for adventure and big game. All of the modern comforts abound including padded seating, gas lamp lighting and spring suspension. Wonderful steampunky goodness from builder redfern1950s.
Join me and Mrs BrickNerd Dianna as we build LEGO Ideas Big Bang Theory live! Google+ Hangout should start about 8:45am PST and building will start at 9am PST. Head over to our Facebook page to get the Hangout link when it's posted. We'd like to apologize ahead of time for the fact we know nothing about the show, so if you're a fan join us so we know what the heck we're building.
It's guaranteed to be at least 53% more exciting than quantum theory as explained by Ben Stein on valium.
Bazinga!
It's party time! There's a whole lot to love about this imaginative party scene by builder Priovit70. From the excellent space station room to the humorous and detailed characters attending the party. It's clear that Priovit70 is channeling his inner Pete Reid, with blips and a turtle in attendance. But my favorite touches are the xenomorph and the Spock cameo, brilliant.
You don't see much Bionicle on this blog. It's not that I have anything against it, it's just not generally an aesthetic that catches my attention. But this lovely horse MOC by nobu_tary totally caught my eye this morning. It's got a strength and weight to it that's fitting to a noble beast, and an armored and mechanical touch that makes it badass. Great pose-ability too.
Yes, we've managed to get our hands on the latest LEGO Ideas set The Big Bang Theory and we're going to build it live tomorrow starting at 9am PST. Join me and Mrs. BrickNerd as we speculate wildly about what we're building (neither of us actually watch the show). See you then! BAZINGA! ...or something.
So Ant Man opened yesterday, did you go? I didn't make it, but hopefully I'll get there soon. If the hype at San Diego Comic Con is any indication it's a pretty fun movie. Speaking of fun, builder Powerpig is back with one of his iconic Brick Sketches, and like the rest of the genius series, it doesn't disappoint.
I don't care if it's cool to bash on Burton's Batman, I'm not gonna. When it came out in 1989 I was super busy at work and didn't get to it for a couple weeks. In that time I listened to all my coworkers and friends bash on it for some reason or another. So When I finally went to see it my expectations were understandably really low...I LOVED it. Keaton is still my favorite Batman and Bruce. And while I find Jack's makeup a bit distracting, his Joker was pretty awesome. I think builder Cpt. Brick is in my camp, judging by this brilliant MOC of Joker's parade at the end of the movie.
I know this started as an official set (which just so happens to be one of my favorite sets ever) but builder LEGO Will has taken it to another level with these modifications. We've all enjoyed watching our favorite little astromech save the day over and over again while revealing yet another hidden tool. And as many as we see here, it's not all of them.
