The Brothers Brick

Ha! For once, I’m going to beat Hippotam to a great new creation. Oh, and the best part is that it’s Hippotam’s own entry to the Castle Contest.

In addition to being a great blogger, Hippotam reminds us that he is clearly also a great builder.

Polish LEGO fan Lolas presents a fantastic entry in the ongoing Castle Contest:

With lots of wonderful details to see and funny comments to read, make sure to click the image to visit Lolas’ site.

Click the picture. You know you want to.

You are a deity among mortals, Nathan Proudlove.

Jeramy Spurgeon has a fantastic layout module under work at the moment. He manages a very natural semi-urban feel with just the right amount of curves and layers.

At its most basic level, the LEGO Ambassadors program enables LEGO fans to have representatives who speak for them and work directly with The LEGO Company. Because we sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA), those of us who are ambassadors can’t always talk about what we do. This has resulted in a bit of frustration from […]

Legohaulic enters the FBTB X-wing Evolution Contest:

The closed wings look great, and they’re swept back more than the original:

Legohaulic’s version even has a rear gunner:

Eurobricks member The Brickster is running a minifig building contest called Wizard’s Challenge. In addition to the wizard minifig, you can also build the interior of the wizard’s workshop.
There are three categories:

Overall Best Wizard
Most Creative Wizard
Best Wizard’s Workshop

The contest began with the first entry on April 25, and runs for one week, so you have […]

Classic-Castler Maedhros may not listen to the same music I listen to, but the minifig versions of his favorite bands are really rather cool.
The mohawk on this guy in Diary of Dreams is awesome:

Goth rockers Bauhaus:

Fields of the Nephilim:

And finally, Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes:

See all of Maedhros’ musical minifigs in his Brickshelf gallery.

Hey, it’s my blog, I can quote poetry if I want to. Michael Jasper presents a batch of wonderful — if unridable — motorcycles:

Well, you can ride them if you only have a torso, but that’s a sacrifice I’d be willing to make to look this cool:

Izzo reminds us that BananaBot is not to be trusted, for he is our enemy:

Stinky, nasty BananaBot — he’s a tricksy one.

Curses! Foiled by his slimy peels!

Izzo promises that ChocoBot is our friend:

Oh noes! Run, ChocoBot, run!

Sigh… So long ChocoBot, we hardly know ye…

Moko (boy, is that guy prolific!) seems to have wrapped up his furniture series and started a batch of dogs, including an acrylonitrile butadiene styrene version of his Jack Russel:

Kelly McKiernan puts the Exo-Force light-up brick to good use as HAL 9000’s evil red eye:

(Via LegOficina dos Baixinhos. What, you don’t peruse LEGO blogs in English, German, Japanese, Polish, Spanish, and Portuguese too? Hey, LEGO is the common language for fans worldwide. )

Beautiful use of dark green, with wonderful details like the mouth and toes, on this bug-like mecha from Jehkay:

Millionaire Playboy has wonderfully detailed pictures of the new 5378 Hogwarts Castle set. Head on over there for the video podcast, but here are the highlights for me — the minifigs!
Dolores Umbridge and Hermione Granger both sport new hair:

The weirdest, coolest LEGO head ever on a mystery character (another Deatheater?), and a new Draco Malfoy:
[…]

The X-wing Evolution contest over at FBTB Forums is yielding some interesing takes on what a hypothetical future version of the X-wing would be, not least of which is Nnenn’s entry:

Erik Cruz improves on the official General Grievous minifig with longer limbs and a bigger (custom) cape by MMCB:

And be sure to check out Zook360’s Stikfas — not LEGO, but still pretty cool if you like good customization.
