The Brothers Brick

Building in Mark Sandlin’s fan-created “3vil” sub-theme, Legohaulic has created a menacing battle station, dubbed Agrona:

Here’s the crew:

Dennnis Coh is participating in the FBTB Forums R-Wing contest, but what caught my eye was his minifig pilot:

With a great brick-built weapon and excellent color coordination, Dennis’ version of Pippin Reed is smokin’ hot.
(Only after typing up the Technorati tags below did I notice just how much of a mashup this minifig is: With […]

I credit Azumu as one of the bloggers who got me into blogging just over a year ago, with his regular “best of Brickshelf” posts on LEGO-BINGO. But Azumu is also a consummate builder — his brick-built Pokemon are especially fantastic, even if you’re not a fan of little creatures who only say their own […]

Okay, so it turns out that the series of minifigs Sugegasa has been posting lately are based on the upcoming PS2 RPG Monster Hunter 2 from Capcom, and the minifigs were actually built by Sugegasa’s younger brother.
Anyway, here’s the full set:

I like the improvements Sugegasa The Younger has made to the fig with the bow, […]

I really do need to start paying better attention. For better or for worse, I’m not especially interested in Technic creations, which is what I thought Duane Hess’s creation was until I took a closer look:

It’s actually a minifig-scale “Lunar Ice Harvester” that’s just plain huge. The sheer size of the vehicle enables Duane to […]

Flickrite Digger Digger Dogstar has fantastic Photoshop skills, as he demonstrates by incorporating minifigs into Beatles album art.
His latest is With the Beatles:

Brickshelfer and FBTB member Nannan recently posted a cityscape that I didn’t really pay any attention to as I passed over it on Brickshelf. I’d seen cityscapes before:

Yeah, that’s a cute little UFO, but nothing special, right? WRONG!

Nannan has incorporated an Exo-Force light brick with a corresponding fiber-optic tube thingy. Extremely cool and very ingenious!

Extending the number of letters in the Star Wars fleet of fighters (X-wing, Y-wing, B-wing, A-wing, etc.) is a popular pursuit among Star Wars LEGO fans. From Bricks to Bothans, the Star Wars LEGO community, is holding a contest to build an R-wing fighter.
Here’s Mark Stafford’s entry in all its delicious orangy goodness (via Snoikle):

With looming deadlines and a mountain of work, it’s been a pretty rough week at the office, so I wasn’t looking forward to a four-hour training course on how to conduct customer visits. My day picked up immediately when I saw a big tub of basic bricks on the conference room table.
After a brief overview […]
