I hope you have your dancing shoes on (I'm gonna break out the parachute pants too) because Mr Robot Boom Box Dude is here and it's time to do the Rick Dance! Fans of Rick and Morty might recognize this, and anyone who's ever laid down the cardboard for a battle wishes they had one of these. Nicely done onosendai2600.
If someone told me you could convey the logo for JJ Abrams' production company Bad Robot in around 22 parts I would have been skeptical. Yet here it is courtesy of builder Takamichi Irie. I love it when so few parts can come together to create something instantly recognizable, very clever. I've been wondering how this and the Disney logo will factor in to the classic Star Wars film opening, I guess we'll find out in just over a month (!!!)
You just have to wonder about theme park operators and giant, dangerous, prehistoric beasts. Haven't those guys seen those other two movies? Anyway, feast your eyes on this truly epic MOC by markus19840420, it's part of a collaboration with Disco86 and absolutely jaw dropping. Normally I would wait until everything was posted and then feature, but I was so blown away by this I had to share. Stay tuned for the whole collaboration coming soon.
The latest Iron Builder rages on, and if history is any indication, both builders should be equipped with one of these little babies by cmaddison, because the pressure is 'building' (see what I did there?) I've personally never competed, and I don't think I ever will. Because I'd be redlining from the start and probably blow a gasket by week two .
I get a kick out of all LEGO inspired books. It's a product and company I love. I also find just about anything Star Wars endearing (except maybe those stupid coffee creamers, what the heck?) So when you combine the two, you have my attention. Now add in the fact that this is the product of the imagination and creativity of an AFOL and fan, well this is a perfect storm of LEGO, Star Wars, imagination, creativity, photography and fandom, I'm smitten.
Read MoreA cooling of the air, a wisp of wind from the north, warm colors on the trees and pumpkin spice at Starbucks, must be fall. Builder Pate-keetongu is celebrating the seasons in a series of builds, this one is fall, and she's a beauty. The blend of Bionicle and System parts here is flawless, the color use is perfect and the sculpting is divine, what a lovely season this is.
Sorry to stoop to potty humor, but this interior vignette by Mark van der Maarel is too good not to share. There's so many fun details and clever construction in this MOC, and I can't decide what's my favorite. I'll leave it up to you all to pick yours.
Cast Away is a remarkable bit of filmmaking, if you haven't seen in, I highly recommend it. It breaks many of the "rules" but works so very well. And one of the characters is so unconventional, well, you just have to see it to understand. Builder jtheels understands, and this LEGO version of Wilson is absolutely brilliant.
Star Wars The Force Awakens is still over a month away (I can hardly take it!) but there's no shortage of EP7 inspired MOCs these days. I think it's awesome we have another three movies coming to excite and inspire builders, we're going to see some awesome stuff in the coming months and years. Like this mind-blowing life-size BB-8 by mdoupe! This little droid has certainly caught the imagination of the world, and we haven't even seen the movie yet.
Ah the teddy bear, steadfast defender of children for over 100 years, and into the future. Builder Si-MOCs shows us just what goes on behind the scenes as hard suit and mecha teddies fearlessly battle nightmares in their ongoing struggle.
NERDvember is well on it's way, and the competition is heating up. The group is almost 50 members strong and there's been some brilliant submissions so far.
I thought I'd take some time to highlight some of the sponsors and tell you about some of the amazing prizes that are being offered this year. First off is The LEGO Group, who generously donated a First Order Snowspeeder, Rey's Speeder and Darth Vader! In addition to those FBTB is donating some polybags as well, so there's going to be plenty of LEGO in the prize packages.
No Starch Press is donating three books to lucky winners, one for each prize pack. They are Beautiful LEGO Wild, LEGO Scale Modeling and Medieval LEGO.
This is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg, stay tuned as we reveal more prizes in the coming days, and if you haven't already started building, you better break out the bricks!
The anticipation for Fallout 4 is hitting fever pitch, and the MOCs inspired by it are already making their way online. This one by builder 'rolli almost slipped by it's so good. I genuinely skimmed right past it at first thinking it was just concept art, it was only the top of the rocket that caught my eye at the last microsecond. Wow, what a build and what a shot, perfect!
I've spent SO much time over the last couple years engrossed in the world of Gotham and Batman, so much so I'm frankly a bit burned out. But this wonderful microscale Batman set got me instantly excited, so there's still some hope for me. I LOVE this, all the tiny details, all the figures, all the vehicles and play features, it's awesome. I generally try to avoid posting LEGO Ideas stuff, but I would love to see this actually made. Head over to LEGO Ideas to support.
Leave it to builder vitreolum to not only bring these classic fairytale princesses to life in brick, but to make them downright...sexy. Whether it's Snow White being tempted with a poison apple, Red Riding Hood getting creeped on by Big Bad Wolf or Repunzel getting all wrapped up with hair (and nothing else), all of these MOCs are gorgeous.
Those outstanding humans at The Brothers Brick have a new contest going challenging you to pimp Rey's speeder, and they're giving away some really cool stuff. What better way to celebrate the awakening of the force? Head over to the official Flickr group for all the rules and details and get building!
Oh, and I couldn't help myself, Nerdly needed to get in on that action. And it serves double duty as a completely disqualified entry to NERDvember!
Leave it to paddybricksplitter to successfully shrink the Ghostbusters headquarters into a 16x16 footprint. Despite it's relatively small size, it's instantly recognizable and totally iconic. There's even a pretty pesky poltergeist that's just itching to be trapped.
A LEGO Brickumentary is finally out on home video! As many of you know, BrickNerd Studios produced over 8 minutes of original animation for this film, and it was a fantastic opportunity. If you love the brick (you must, you're ready my mostly terrible blog) you'll love this heart warming and informative documentary about how LEGO touches the lives of so many around the world.
what do you do when your plastic cuckoo clock breaks? Build a new, better one out of LEGO of course! That's exactly what builder Miro78 has done and as you can see the results are brilliant. There's no little birdie, and the weights are just for show, but it's still a functioning clock, and a fine looking one I might add.
Feast your eyes on this (and I hope they're hungry, it might take a while). Builder Pierre Import / T1MEK0DE has put together a truly colossal and stunning interior inspired by Fallout, and you're going to love it. Even if you haven't played the game (guilty) there's so much to like here it's worth the time to check out all the pictures. And if you're having a hard time judging the scale, find the minifigure hiding in there.
