"Long Haul"

So you look at the first picture and you think "cool, a dump truck". It reminds me of my big Tonka when I was a kid, and seems like it would be right at home with other LEGO City sets. Then you get to the second picture and get your mind blown, this baby transforms! Builder Cpt. Brick not only nailed the City look, he nailed the Transformers look. As awesome as it is though, I think my favorite thing about these shots is the minifigs casually enjoying coffee in the shadow of the robot.

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!
