    • This past year saw an incredible diversity of LEGO creations posted here on The Brothers Brick. It’s not always easy to predict which LEGO models will go viral, but some, like the Batcave, just hit it out of the park.

    1. Carlyle Livingston & Wayne Hussey’s epic LEGO Batcave

    01 Batcave1048

    1. Basic brick characters
    2. The 9 Circles of Hell in LEGO
    3. Portal 2 test chambers in LEGO
    4. Ryan McNaught’s Massive LEGO Apollo 11 Saturn V rocket

    1. Scrolling LEGO TV featuring Superman

    In contrast to the most popular LEGO models of 2011, the list isn’t as dominated by LEGO Halo models. We enjoy Halo as much as the next LEGO fan (I just finished Halo 4 solo on Legendary last night!), but it’s nice to see other sources of inspiration listed among the most popular models of 2012.

      Just out of curiosity, how are these “rankings” generated? Is it based off of clicks through TBB itself, or something like total view count on Flickr?

      Thanks for another awesome year of spotlighting amazing builders for us to enjoy!

      Ryan’s rocket was amazing to see. I have a video on YT of it being assembled in time-lapse and real time.

      Scrolling Superman and Saturn V are both numbered “5″ on this list. I have enjoyed this site each and every day I visit. Keep up the excellent work “brick brothers!”
