The Brothers Brick

LEGO fans all over the ‘net love the new Pixar movie Wall-E, and they show their affection for the film with wonderful LEGO creations too numerous to post individually.
First up, Mark Sandlin adds crushing action to his Wall-E:

Aaron Lemay goes super-small with his super-cute Wall-E built from only 11 pieces:

Jordan Schwartz breaks from the [...]

Moko shows off his wealth of gold minifig accessories by displaying a dazzling army of golden knights. As with Moko, there are no custom pieces used in the display, but I’m sure the cost would be in no way under par of that in buying customs.

Over at the LEGO Ambassador Forum, we current Ambassadors were asked to build “a standard 8×8 vignette that represents [us] and [our] interests within the world of LEGO building and community.” Many of us came up with creative and interesting pieces; here are a few of some of the most recent ones:
(Below left) Yiu Keung [...]

Adrian Florea replicates the “Jalopy” car from Half Life 2, which has the appearance of a partially built and customized 1969 Dodge Charger. Take some time to absorb all the gutted details, especially in the hood area. The model seems to feature a working steering system as well.

Those of you who were paying close attention to our coverage of BrickWorld 2008 probably noticed references to and pictures of the latest BrickForge accessories.
Thanks to Nannan and the magic of the United States Postal Service, here’s my review of the new items BrickForge will be releasing soon. In general, I’ll try to avoid repeating [...]

Brickshelf user Elalfreddo demonstrates that you don’t need to use ‘advanced’ techniques to create a good design. His signal tower is a straight studs-up building dressed up by a clever use of colour to create texture. Very effective and a good lesson.

I also need to mention that I have a nostalgic soft spot for the [...]

Flickr user Chrispockster makes a diorama depicting a retro space landing on the fictional planet Nidoria. Some highlights include the organic alient plant life and the interesting color choice for the planet’s surface, which I think might just be plain yellow shaded dark during the photography process. The final result looks great.

Peer “Mahjqa” Kreuger gets light on his feet to recreate the title scene from the 1952 musical Singing in the Rain:

Tim “RogueBantha” Goddard has made quite a name for himself with his microscale LEGO Star Wars creations.
Tim’s latest is a modular Imperial base called Mustaneer (not to be confused with the far more distant Mustafar):

The base has a rack for a squadron of TIE fighters, a landing pad for an Imperial shuttle or landing craft, [...]

Peter Reid’s series of Neo-Classic Space vehicles evoke simultaneous feelings of awe, jealousy, and nostalgia.
For Pete’s latest, he gives 497 Galaxy Explorer the contemporary treatment:

Pete’s use of modern bricks and current building techniques, applied to the shapes and colors of LEGO from the Classic Space era, results in creations that combine the best of both [...]

Jerak uses brown in his most recent creation to construct a heavily armed micro spaceship called the Juggernaut Fortress, based off the Clairconctlar Pinnacle. It is worth checking out the bottom of the ship, equally full of details as the top and in my opinion wouldn’t look so awkward to be cruising upside down.

As part of LUGNuts‘ “Show your age” contest, Lino Martins rolls out yet another jaw-dropping tribute to the open road.
Lino’s 1971 Cadillac Eldorado:

Sweet ride, Lino!

Rong Yiren has continued his primal bot series with a couple of action-packed dioramas.
Primal Bot Melee:

Jabberwocky Surprise:

I’m loving these little guys.

I had the pleasure of meeting Pixar animator and LEGO fan Angus MacLane at BrickFest 2007. When I saw the first trailer for Wall•E (in theaters Friday, June 27), I knew we should try to do something special. Our exclusive interview with Angus and first look at his LEGO Wall•E follows.
The Brothers Brick: How long [...]

LUGPol member Kris Kelvin has built a rather cool, custom version of Archaon, Lord of the End Times. For you pathetic non-gamers, that’s a character from Warhammer Fantasy Battle (I had to go look it up myself).

…gently down the stream to the Fabuland Riverbank. SlyOwl’s newest creation is an incredible piece of eye candy. From the flowing river to the autumnal tree, from the exotic cheeses to the lightup fireplace, this creation is bursting with whimsical details.

Smod showcases a survivor repairing a really great four-treaded mech in a snowy landscape — his entry in the Picking up the Pieces contest:

Ask and you shall receive. Jesus Diaz has worked with LEGO to put together answers to all the great questions LEGO fans threw his way earlier this month.
A few favorites:
I want you to ask the Lego gang for the definitive answer on the plural for Lego bricks. Is it, as we Brits say, simply Lego, [...]
