Witch-king Of Angmar

So you're a king of men, just ruling and being all kingly and stuff. And this dude shows up with a really nice, shiny ring for you. Of course you take it right? Well, if it turns out it's a ring of power, and the dude that gave it to you was the dark lord of Mordor (and he has his own ring that sorta controls yours), and now you're destined to be a ringwraith. but hey, at least you're the leader right? And then a brick artist named nameless_member builds a nifty MOC of your helm, so you have that going for you.

Griffin

As probably terrifying as it would be, I kinda wish some mythical beasts were real. I'm sure dragons would be horrible, and I'll take a total pass on jikininki (seriously, look them up) but how cool would it be to have a very rare griffin spotting? Obviously a face to face encounter would probably be full of suck, but from a distance I bet they'd be magnificent. I mean, just look at this one by builder d' Qiu Brick, stunning!

BB-7

Droid development is an incremental process. Sometimes what seems like a good idea turns out to be a bit problematic. Take for instance BB-7 here. As baffling as it may be, the designers decided a cubic form factor would be worth exploring. Eventually as you all know things got more spherical, but this one is pretty much just as cute. Leave it to MacLane to find the corners of everyone's favorite new droid. Check out the video to see how he works.

Me 109

The messershmidt Bf-109 is as iconic a WWII aircraft as you can get. I don't want to glorify war, but that was a golden age of aviation, and both the axis and the allies both stepped up with some major innovation. This version, and updated model by Daniel Siskind, can actually be yours in the near future from Brickmania.

Best Idea Ever

What better way to spice up a summer gathering than severe food trauma? Yes, it's Jarts, or lawn darts! Oversized, weighted lawn missiles with sharpened steel tips, what could possibly go wrong? My family actually had these when I was a kid, they were fun and terrifying at the same time. Between these, my dad smoking in a closed car, no seatbelts and pop rocks and Coke, it's amazing we made it out of the 70's alive. Thanks for the nostalgia JT!

Bridge Of Lost Souls

Built for Brickvention in Australia last year, Nick Runia is offering up the final photos of his Bridge of Lost Souls creation.  So, he's got the Light on the left side, Dark on the right, and of course the bridge with Death in the middle.  Peruse his photostream to appreciate the architectural intricacy and organic flow of the rock work and landscaping.  Nicely done, Nick!
