We just featured Josselin Guedes‘s steampunky “L’invincible” three posts ago, but this latest from Josselin is too good to pass up:
Rumor: LEGO Indiana Jones video game?
This doesn’t go in the “News” category quite yet, but Kotaku broke the rumor yesterday that LucasArts will be announcing a LEGO Indiana Jones video game at E3.
Presumably, the game will be developed by Travellers Tales, creators of both LEGO Star Wars and the upcoming LEGO Batman. We shall see.
(Thought I’d post this now, since I still don’t see an update from Kotaku, LucasArts, or Travellers Tales. Thanks for the tip, ever-watchful RichardAM!)
Elex’s Dragon

Little Stands for Little Plastic People
Jorden Neves’ minifigs on stands I featured a couple minutes ago were inspired by these great 4×4 stands by Dan Sibley:
Ninjas in space — what’s not to like?
Jordan Neves has posted a batch of very cool space ninjas, which he calls the KabutoCorps. His Black Space Gods aren’t half bad either:
Tim Zarki’s back is really, really mad!
Well, one can infer that from the name of his most recent microscale spaceship. Here’s Tim‘s Spinal Fury:
Type-G1 Bukai by Morgan19
Morgan19 (aka “Jamie”) puts a lot of effort into presentation. It’s always a pleasure to look at the detailed schematics that go along with each new creation. As to the vehicle itself, all the callouts in the graphic indicate just how many features have been packed into this creation.

If God exists, he rides a chopper
There’s something viscerally true about noddy‘s suggestion that Jehovah — creator of the universe, destroyer of Sodom and Gomorrah, the Pillar of Fire that led the Israelites into Canaan — rides a Harley-Davidson motorcycle:
“It’s No Use, John Clay” said Alan Saunders blandly.
Alan Saunders presents a vignette based on a quote from the Sherlock Holmes story “The Adventure of the Red Headed League”:
The light flashed upon the barrel of a revolver, but Holmes’s hunting crop came down on the man’s wrist, and the pistol clinked upon the stone floor.
“It’s no use, John Clay,” said Holmes blandly. “You have no chance at all.”
What could you build with just 10176 Royal King’s Castle?
Nelson Yrizarry recently set out to determine what he could make from just the pieces in 10176 Royal King’s Castle. The results are somewhat surprising:
That’s:
- One Royal Smokehouse
- Two castle vignettes
- One SmithBot
- Three microscale space ships
UPDATE: Nelson has added several new creations using only the pieces left over after creating all of the ones in his original batch. Read all about it in the thread on Classic-Castle.com.
