The Brothers Brick

In honor of International Talk Like a Pirate Day today (September 19), Don Solo has uploaded an awesome robot pirate:

Nice pegleg. I suspect this guy could give either one of my robot ninjas a run for their money…

Some love him, others hate him. Either way, Gary Brolsma became an internet icon when he did his Numa Numa Dance in 2004. When browsing YouTube, I came across — of all things — a LEGO version of the dance. It’s not really brickfilming, but it’s still cool. Check it out!
Here’s […]

Armothe recently posted a knight that is quite possibly the best custom fig I have seen yet. I give you Otto the Crusader!

The plethora of custom details is astounding, from the great helm to the barding, from the banner to the horse, virtually every detail is perfect.
As a finishing touch, Armothe has even given […]

Okay, I know I saw these on one of your blogs first, but I can’t find my “via” bookmarks, so pipe up with your “I blogged this last week!” comments.
Anway, Kwi-Chang is a blogger and builder whose amazing mecha I hadn’t highlighted here on the Brothers Brick, and with two great new/updated models, […]

Classic-Castle.com recently posted a great presentation by Ed Kohl. The depth of the information is incredible. I have never seen techniques like this before. If you have any interest is building in other scales at all, you should check this out.
Here’s the PDF file
Definitely worth a peek!

Masahiro Yanagi builds wonderfully realistic vehicles and buildings, in addition to whimsical creations inspired by space and science fiction.
Recent updates to his Brickshelf gallery include a patrol craft for the Japan Coast Guard called Yukigumo:

I really enjoy Nick Dean’s (who also goes by the name Kcaster on Brickshelf and Flickr) little treaded mech called Longbow. Clean and purdy!

Bram Lambrecht gives us a Lamborghini Renazzo:

An interesting thing about this car is that it is not made for the traditional lego-figures (the minifigs), but for the larger technic figs. This larger scale has enabled Bram to create some very interesting functionality, such as the fantastic opening mechanism. Very nice touch.

First of, sorry everyone (readers, Andrew, Josh, Nathan, mother, santa) for not bringing you space the past week and a half or so. Real life is getting in the way, with one switch of apartment just done and the second one coming up in two weeks. Until I’m all settled down I might have to […]

Mike “Count Blockula” Crowley is a true original, as evidenced by his recent “Krab Trooper”:

I like the one above better, but I’m also highly amused by Mike’s version that uses Mr. Krabs’ head:

I’m sure that’s the sound Scope’s steam flyers make:

Acclaimed brickfilmer Brendan Henry has just released a jaw-dropping new film: Triumph of the Empire, a LEGO Star Wars film in the style of WWII propaganda films. The film features amazing CGI animation of LEGO models created in Ldraw, excellent facial animation and good narration. Watch it now!

Perhaps Michael Jasper is showing us what Saint Nick does while he’s on vacation. But it’s September, you’d think the old elf would be busier at this point:

Kevin Blocksidge presents a batch of Victorian crime fighters:

And the heavy artillery:

A retailer in Great Britain has included 2007 LEGO Star Wars sets in its inventory, along with pictures and prices (in GBP). Those pictures have been popping up all over Brickshelf in the last 24 hours.
What I like about these sets is that two of them amount to “minifig packs” — 7654 Droids Battle Pack […]

Okay, so today is all about Eurobricks. As I blogged a week or so ago, Eurobricks is hosting a superhero contest. I entered Unit Zero One (with a beefed-up origin story).
The entries thread is closed and voting has begun, but I thought I’d highlight a few of my personal favorites (in no particular order).

Eurobricks is often the first place one sees pictures of upcoming LEGO products. Apparently these pictures showed up on Amazon.com’s German site. (Amazon is famous — not just in the LEGO community — as a source for upcoming product information.)
So, today’s news post included several shots of the box art from a new theme called […]
