The Brothers Brick

Alex (aka Xiphos Systems) presents two gorgeous and slick microscale starships. While we’ve not seen much yet from this builder, he certainly leaves a promising impression. These fine models are reminiscent of the amazing starfighters from nnenn. Keep up the great work Alex!

My latest work is a rather grisly one, though it is not wholly intended to appeal in that manner. Take a look at the accompanying writing and you’ll see that there’s another layer of meaning, and a very personal one, to this creation. I present Lament for Innocence.

Harrison (aka “Corran101″) submits four epic entries to the CC vig contest — vignettes inspired by Homer’s Odyssey.
Our hero Odysseus has many adventures. In no particular order (go read the book!), he battles the sea monsters Scylla and Charybdis, rides a sheep out of a cave, does a bit of feasting with Circe, and [...]

Brent just keeps churning out fantastic creations. Enough words. Here’s the LEGO.
My favorite, an air barge powered by eggbeater-shaped propellers called Weal:

Phaeton Carriage and Iron Wasp:

Shrine of Etward:

One character that’s always been missing from the Final Fantasy VII minifig series I’ve seen (including Moko’s and my own) is the enigmatic Red XIII.
Lamanda2 remedies this situation with a beautiful custom Red XIII:

Check out the brick-built laser blast in this lovely little scene from Soren Roberts. The squieu-esque mecha is certainly cool, but look closely — the laser blast is just amazing!

Alex Eylar (Flickr) has captured several scenes from one of my favorite new TV shows, “Pushing Daisies.”

Gizmodo commenters asked for more interviews of the builders featured there, and contributor Jesús Díaz obliged, first interviewing Tim Goddard. Jesús’ latest interview is with Ralph Savelsberg, whose 1/36-scale military aircraft have wowed TBB readers recently.
Head on over to Gizmodo to read the interview with Ralph, but here are a few new photos from Ralph’s [...]

Luís Baixinho contacted me a while ago to ask if I’d be willing to do an interview for the Portuguese fan community Portal 0937. Naturally, I was both honored and flattered to be asked to join people like the Arvo Brothers and Hippotam.
It feels really rather weird linking to an interview of myself (especially [...]

The second issue of Railbricks magazine is out for your perusal. It’s a high quality PDF magazine edited by Jeramy Spurgeon and dedicated (unsurprisingly) to LEGO trains and includes building instructions, articles and much, much more. Even if you’re not interested in brick railroads it’s worth a look for general building ideas.

Toy Fair 2008 is approaching and there have been pictures of the late 2008 sets circulating on the web. I found Joe Meno with some of the first pictures of themes including Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Speed Racer, Bionicle, and Batman.

Update (AB): Ace Kim also has extensive pictures from Toy Fair 2008, nicely organized into [...]

Tyler (Legohaulic) is a master known for his imaginative works of fiction and fantasy. His recent work depicts a groundbreaking theme of dark fantasy, showing a mysterious island with a lighthouse made of an old blackened tree, all overlooked by a hunchback caretaker. Check out Mud Island Lighthouse.

By now, anyone who’s seen the stream of Rocko’s latest works knows that he’s a super builder, capable of crafting excellently large castle dioramas in a very short time of days. His most recent work is another grand variation of the castle theme with two classic-looking towers connected by a stunning drawbridge. Of course, Rocko [...]

Jordan Schwartz (aka Sir Nadroj) shows that the Black Fantasy biomechanical creature invasion knows no bounds. Check out his interpretation of a monstrer demolishing a colorful Russian cathedral to rubbles. What an interesting concept!

I came on air today on LAML Radio to give a quick overview of the Builders Lounge group. I’m sure many have heard of the name while others have not. Perhaps you have seen some of the works by the members or seen the Lounge’s brickshelf gallery. In any case if you are wondering what [...]

Lino Martins says, “Everyone knows Batman has all the coolest rides.”

As Nathan Proudlove demonstrates above, that’s certainly true! But if you’ve always thought that Spider-Man got hung out to dry or the Green Lantern got left out in the dark, the Heroes and Villains Challenge in the LUGNuts group on Flickr is your chance [...]

Arthur Gugick is a master of recreating famous landmarks in LEGO. Check out his latest colorful work, the Dome of the Rock. Be sure to take a look at his gallery, how many places have you been? I counted eight.

MisaQa wishes everyone a happy Valentine’s Day.
