The Brothers Brick

I’ve received word from Lluís Gibert and Antonio Fernandez that the first issue of the Spanish-language Hispabrick Magazine is now available.

Whether you read Spanish or not, there’s quite a bit of great stuff in the magazine:

Photo reviews of 7626 Jungle Cutter (La Sierra de la Jungla) and 7726 Coast Guard Truck with Speed Boat (El […]

Mike Yoder continues to increase the size of his pirate fleet. Black Betty is hardly monochrome, with “close to 20 colors,” according to the builder.
This nasty piece of work may look slapped together in a bunker somewhere on an asteroid, but it bristles with menace:

With highly detailed landscaping (including some lovely sunflowers), lots of minifig action, and a fairly large scale, there’s lots to love about ztp’s “Tower Palace”:

Back in January when the first LEGO Agents pictures were leaked, the reaction was fairly mixed. But since we put the new poll up last Saturday, nearly a quarter of you have indicated that LEGO Agents sets are what you’re looking forward to the most for “late 2008″ LEGO sets.
As I’ve seen more and more […]

The last, haunted train out of TheBrickster’s town of Grave Stone has finally arrived at the station.

Check out Brickshelf for all the cars clattering along behind the ghastly engine.

Sly Owl has turned out some very unusual creations, but the latest is in a league of its own.
Its simply called Dung Mall.

I always wanted a green Classic Space minifig. Peter Reid seems to have felt the same, so he’s made a number of custom minifigs in alternative colors:

Of course, Pete’s been busy building his usual, fantastic New-Classic Space vehicles as well:

Jordan Schwartz (Sir Nadroj) built what he thinks is one of the most disgusting scenes in all the Indiana Jones movies that has the ground crawling in giant ants. Although I haven’t seen the movie yet, Jordan’s scene looks very promising.

Of all the cool adjectives to describe robots and mechas, there’s none that makes me say “happy” except Moko’s recent creation of a happy retro robot. Smile

Brickshelf user Maniac000 (aka McZargåld on Flickr) created a diorama showing what happens when angry townspeople attack. The government forces arrived to find the stage set for an all out street battle, including trenches and barbed wires. Viva La Revolución!

Shannon Young captures the drama of car racing in a micro vignette featuring some pretty crafty mini racers and a clever crowd mosaic. Click on the picture below to learn why Shannon hates car racing so much. That’s right, Shannon is absolutely disgusted by car racing; that’s why he built this creation.

Zombies in space? Sure, why not.

Jas Nagra’s “Quarantine Module: Infection Control” has very cool angled walls and incineration pods that I don’t want to get anywhere near.

It would seem Keith Goldman’s vignettes couldn’t contain minifig Ley Ward. But what’s Ley doing on a monochrome peninsula covered in what looks like hatches?

Inspired by Alex Kahler’s micro creation featuring a mini Dreadnought from Warhammer 40K, Jarek presents a micro dio featuring a few of his designs, including a nifty little tank, complete with an accompanying diorama.

What’s more adorable than Ochre Jelly’s Miniland Stephen Hawking? Why, a swarm of micro Stephen Hawkings, of course!

Check out MOCPages for the further adventures of the baby Hawklings, including guest appearances by micro versions of several of Ochre Jelly’s other Miniland characters.
Here’s a bonus Stephen Hawking by Mike “Count Blockula” Crowley:

In news sure to please those of you who voted for “LEGO Castle (Dwarves & Trolls)” in the current poll, the full line of LEGO Castle sets for 2008 is now available from the LEGO Shop online.
Here’s 7048 Troll Warship (USD 79.99):

That’s six troll/goblin/orc minifigs, a dragon, a Crown Knight minifig, a Dwarf minifig, Clancy’s […]

Well, at least Kamino, anyway. Tim Goddard recycles two great microscale Star Wars vehicles we hadn’t featured here before into a new vignette showing the intense battle between Jango Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi:

Jehkay’s multi-role fighter may be called “Faerie,” but it looks like it packs quite a punch:

I love the striping on the wings, the “smoke dischargers,” and the engines.
