The Brothers Brick

EDIT (6/3/07): Oops. Someone jumped the gun, and the pictures have been taken down. Hope you enjoyed them while they lasted.
The LEGO-themed massively multiplayer online game in development by LEGO and NetDevil now has a name: LEGO Universe. Here’s some preliminary artwork:

And here’s the scoop from Denmark:

The LEGO Group is working on a group of […]

For reasons I can’t remember, I had two copies of 6950 Mobile Rocket Transport when I was a kid. Peter Morris had none, so he built his own:

(Via How Many Studs to LEGOLAND?.)

We featured Kaitimar’s micro-Spinner last month, so it’s only natural that we post the scaled-up version:

(Via Moyblik.)

Microscale master Mike Yoder gives mecha a try. And rather successfully, I might add.

Drew Ellis demonstrates what you can do with a host of Death Eater heads:

Bonus, a Ministry of Magic poster:

For our German readers:

And for all you Portuguese Simpsons fans:

The bloggers at Neatorama seem to love LEGO, and for that The Brothers Brick love Neatorama. As one of the top 50 blogs in the world, we also love the traffic they’ve sent us several times over the last few months.
Sebastian Dick’s LEGO chaingun is at the top of the page on Neatorama […]

Just having fun with Chris Bragg’s arm-swap technique.

Winning entries have been announced for the recent LEGO Castle Contest on Classic-Castle.com. Nearly all of the winning entries have been featured here on The Brothers Brick, but there are a couple that we missed.
In the Joust category, DARKspawn topples the competition for his aptly named “Joust”:

Piotr Slezak puts a bolt through the other entries […]

I’m sometimes confused by (and jealous of) the talent some brand-new builders display. New Classic-Castle.com member Jeramy Cooke says that he hadn’t touched LEGO for 18 years before building this beauty. Wow. Head on over to his Classic-Castle Forum thread for links to more great pictures.

Custom or non-LEGO weapons not your thing? Never fear, Nannan Z. has the solution in his “Guns Museum v. 5″:

This might be old, given the hit-count in the folder, but keika03’s Brickshelf gallery includes a pretty cool factory from StarCraft we haven’t featured here previously:

Mo-ph III, Emperor of Yihaggotha:

A Yihaggothan commando, equipped for cleansing human-infested worlds:

(Grabbing a batch of new deatheater heads from the Bellevue store’s build-your-own minifig bin, I’ve quickly put them to use. I also purchased a batch of rare and non-production parts from Germany that I wanted to use immediately. The black pikes don’t appear in […]

I’m a sucker for archaeologically themed LEGO. As Bruce says, Barbara Werth gets credit for being the first to incorporate the new skeleton horse into a LEGO vignette.

The Battle of Cold Harbor in 1864 was one of the bloodiest battles in U.S. history. Thomas Wunz honors the Union dead with a vignette:

Today is Memorial Day here in the United States — a holiday that honors the men and women who have died in military service to this country. As a pacifist myself, I hope that someday our leaders will stop increasing the number of people we remember on this day each year.
But as a pragmatist, I […]

No crossover is impossible in the twisted (and brilliant) mind of Mike Crowley: The Love Shack meets the Borg of Star Trek.

The cube folds open to reveal one of the most detailed LEGO playsets I’ve seen.

The rest of the Flikr gallery.
A personal note: I’m very sorry I haven’t been contributing to TBB lately, I was […]

Brickshelf user Shaggie has done an amazingly high quality render of a town scene involving misterzumbi’s Fiat126p design. This is certainly one of the most realistic LEGO renders I’ve seen.
