Gotham City Without Batman
/This is a little high concept, but very cool (and hey, it's Batman). The overall shape here represents a flower vase. In the vase itself is several scenes of Batman and Robin taking time off with some distractions. Above that is Gotham, with it's classic city graphics. The outstretched hands represent the people of Gotham, calling out for Batman. And the "flowers" are obviously bat signals. A pretty stunning piece by Vincent's LEGO Creation.
Game On!
/Another round of the Iron Builder has begun! This round, the interesting element the builders must use is that new modified 2x3 tile that looks like a shield. Cecilie Fritzvold, one of two contestants, has created this awesome game controller as the first build of the competition. Not only is this truly well designed, but it really makes me want to start gaming! What would you play with this controller? Final Fantasy? Battlefront? The choice is yours!
A Pair Of Archers
/Well, I don't know if "archer" properly describes either, but they both use arrows. This is Legolas of the Woodland Realm, and Daryl Dixon, of...somewhere in the south. They are the latest of a collection of ironic duos from builder Legohaulic. Legolas is an elf, son of Thranduil, King of the Woodland Realm, and one of the Fellowship of the Ring. He is a loyal companion and was instrumental in the downfall of Sauron. Daryl kills zombies.
Birdemic: Shock And Terror - The LEGO Edition
/Something that you might not know about me is my love of bad movies. Not just films that are poorly made, but those movies that are so bad, but made with such earnestness and passion, that somehow they've gone past awful and ended up good again. I'm a huge fan of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and RiffTrax, and they're unique take on the bad movie shared experience. When I heard that RiffTrax was having a contest inviting people to recreate some moments from James Nguyen films, I knew just what had to be done.
Please note, this is awful, just like the film that inspired it, you've been warned.
Optimal Optimus
/Some MOCs are worth the wait. It took builder ogelpeace1 a year to build this Optimus Prime from Transformers, but it was time well spent. Not only does it have all the right looks and pose-ability, it can transform. Check out the video to see this in action.
Dumbledore The Gray?
/Harry Potter never laid eyes on The One Ring, and Albus Dumbledore never entrusted a hobbit to do anything. Although a mashup between these two classic worlds could be a very cool thing. Imagine the construction of Hogwarts being interrupted by a warg attack, or the four founders hosting a feast with Elrond. Another fantastic pair of character busts by Legohaulic.
Euclid R-170
/I've always wanted to see one of these man-made wonders in person, there's just not that much heavy mining on the central coast of California (but you know, I'm fine with that too). It's just staggering to me that we can make such colossal machines, and that they work. It's also staggering to me that we can build such colossal recreations of these machines in brick, as builder Beat Felber has done here. Not only is it big, beautiful and beefy, it's remote controlled with S-Brick and Power Functions. And check out those custom wheels!
Cha, Boska!
/Jabba really doesn't like being threatened or told what to do. We saw what happened to Luke, and he was being pretty nice about it, even offered a gift (well, not really, it was all a trick). And rancors are always hungry, if not a little misunderstood, so Luke had his hands full after getting dropped. All this action is laid out in this excellent two story MOC of Jabba's palace by builder Martin Harris, where every scene can be recreated (and pretty much has in his photostream, check it out). Now I wanna watch Jedi...mmmm, slave Leia....
The Fires of Hell in Mech Form
/Starting February off with a firey creation here on BrickNerd. With all the rapid technological advances, even hellish demons need an upgrade. Jokes aside, this super hot mech created by Moko will singe the hair right off your eyebrows if you zoom in too closely. There are so many beautiful translucent red, yellow, and orange colors mixed together to give the intimidating appearance you see before you. I've never seen anything quite like this model. It is evident that this new design seems to be a clear contrast of Moko's previous Crystalon machine. Personally, I like the fire mech more, so I guess I'm officially a hot head.
A Little Mahjong
/I've played mahjong a lot, sadly it's only been on my phone, by myself. I've never even actually seen a proper mahjong set, and I've certainly never played with another human. Judging by the sheer joy inherent in this MOC by MikeVD, I'm missing out. Perhaps it's about time I take the steps needed to make this happen in real life.
A Pair Of Docs
/Great Scott! Builder Legohaulic has shared another pair of ironic busts. This time around it's the 11th Doctor from Doctor Who and Doc Brown from Back To The Future. Talk about the ultimate timey wimey mashup, a time traveller and a time lord! They're expressions say it all though, this time and space stuff is not for the faint of heart
Mega Core Vehicle Platform
/FebRovary is here, and builder ZCerberus is back with an ultra-flexible and humungous neo classic space offering. This is the M.C.V.P, or Mego Core Vehicle Platform, a multi-use, reconfigurable lunar vehicle with a multitude of variants. Here you see it in a couple of configurations, including a BrickNerd exclusive double ion cannon and twin phased pulse rail gun mode. Check out more configurations and the whole story on Eurobricks.
Can't Outrun a Jedi
/What a cool shot! Ordo just composed a well executed scene that could have come directly from an official LEGO movie! Apart from having a cool new speeder design, the builder chose to create a Coruscant-like cityscape to act as a nice background, really making this MOC look like a film sequence. I just think it's a well designed set for these figures, especially with that secondary speeder in the background. It would be nice to see more creations like this!
Elementary My Dear Bilbo
/Builder Legohaulic has a treat for us. Apparently quite some time back he built a series of figures to pair up in ironic couples, and now he's ready to unleash them on us. The first pair is incredible, with a little something for both the Sherlock and the Hobbit crowds. And even better for those who love both, like me.
The Dark Knight
/The world has sorta gone Batman crazy (and regular crazy come to think of it) with the looming debut of the LEGO Batman Movie. I can relate, I'm so excited we're giving away a complete set of Minifigures and tickets to see the movie! So while I may not have been surprised to see this bust of Gotham's Dark Knight by builder havoccnp, that doesn't mean I didn't go "oooooooh" as soon as I laid eyes on it.
CS Controler 15
/"Shuttle, this is Control. You are cleared to land. Welcome to the 1-5." "Copy that Control..." I just love space stations, with all their landing chatter and procedures. Something like this is way overdue, and Damien Labrousse had really delivered. He's come up with a convincing asymmetric design, a nifty saucer embedded within the control tower, and of course the Classic Space color scheme. To top it off, it's finished with some high quality photo-editing, just floating there in low orbit. One question for Damien, though, how'd you get it to balance on that antenna?
Autocar A64B
/I don't know a whole lot about big trucks, but that doesn't diminish my appreciation for one that's well built. This Autocar A64B, the same truck used by Sylvester Stallone in Over The Top I understand, is detailed inside and out, right down to the fully kitted out engine compartment and stocked toolbox. Builder havoccnp took great care constructing this workhorse of the 60's and 70's, and it shows.
Bizarre Alien Hovercraft
/You do not want to get rammed by this vehicle! Nannan Zhang created an interesting design for an alien hover vehicle, featuring blue elements on the side really cause this creation to pop. What I find interesting are the "tires," which are a very futuristic and sleek design. (Obviously they're not tires, but I don't know what else to call them.) Can you imagine a squadron of these hovering down the street? That would be pretty cool! Nice job creating a super unique design, Nannan!
