Retro Japanese TV Mecha by Izzo
Let’s check in to see what Izzo‘s been up to lately… Why, it’s a series of hyper-colorful mecha inspired by retro Japanese TV!
Growin up in Japan, my brother used to get up earlier then the rest of our family on Sunday mornings and sneak off to his friends’ houses to watch shows like Kamen Rider. I preferred Ultraman myself.
Deli Brownstone by Mark Larson
Cafe Corner continues to inspire the LEGO-building masses. Here’s Mark Larson‘s great “Deli Brownstone”:
(While we’re at it, don’t miss Mark’s hilarious adult-oriented series “Fabuland Housewives“.)
Dasnewten’s Tusker space fighter – family sized package
A while ago Rob M, or Dasnewten, revealed a good-looking fighter, fantastic in its dark grey glory:
It’s a beauty to be sure, and he even made a few variations on it. I like them all – Rob really shows that a good design can be pulled off in several colour schemes:
And then, just because he could, veteran space builder Paul Hartzog also took his hand at it:
This model is getting quite a following! Perhaps everyone should build their own version and bring it to the next convention?
(Now that the hectic school is over, I’ve got a lot of catching up to do here. Stay tuned as I bring you the best of the past futuristic models. I’ve missed this.)
Quatrodraco by Jerac

Here’s another great reader submission, by Rogério Ribeiro. Check out his use of the train tracks on the front of the building:
10181 Eiffel Tower Pictures
Brickshelfer rogueyoda has somehow gotten his hands on a LEGO Eiffel Tower set. LEGO Eiffel Tower?? When’d this happen? Have I’ve been absorbed in brickfilming so much I missed this? What else have I missed? Anyway, the set looks awesome. rogueyoda is still building the set appearently, but he’s posted some box pictures and some work in progress pictures. Here’s the gallery for more pictures. Man, I need more cash. Anyone want an out-of-date textbook on American politics for $50?
Wake up and smell the ashes…
That’s Gordon Freeman from Half Life by Minifig Customization Network member Viking Maniac. The torso and legs are stickered, and the gun is by BrickArms. Read more in the MCN.
The Day Brickfilms.com Crashed
This is a brickfilmer organized by myself and animated by myself and eleven other brickfilmers. Enjoy!
For some reason embedding YouTube clips doesn’t work for me, so here’s the link:
EDIT (AB): Embed’d. I’ll shoot you an e-mail with a couple technical questions.
Rainbow Minifigs
Inspired by Dave VinZant and Jojo. Not meant to be comprehensive, but it was fun trying to see if I had various minifig parts and accessories in the various colors.
Oh, and Mr. Fleshie didn’t fit in the nice grid above. Hmmm…
Arvo’s Ford GT40
One word: Arvo. Need we say more?
News: Hi-Res pics of 10190 Market Street
We learned about this set a month ago, the images available for scrutiny were rather small. Eurobricks member copmike has discovered higher resolution pictures on the LEGO Shop@Home site.
