Aaron “DARKspawn Andrews tosses a bunch of brave LEGO pirates at a fish monster in “Captain Pete never backed away from a challenge”:
While we’re at it, Jordan “SirNadroj” Schwartz pits “Nom the Sharkey” against an ill-fated deck hand:
Perhaps it’s the very uniformity and consistency of RAMM LEGO creations that define the good ones. But occasionally, someone posts a creation that’s fundamentally different from the rest, making it great.
Tim “Spook” Zarki takes RAMM in a new direction with this fantastic helicopter:
Spatzenfalke may mean “sparrow hawk”, but the nose and tail remind me of […]

Sometime or another, you may have thought about LEGO as art or even participated in a discussion. In this Brothers Brick exclusive editorial, LEGO Ambassador Roy T. Cook (aka Imhotepidus) challenges our popular views on LEGO art. As a university professor who teaches logic, philosophy of mathematics, and the aesthetics of popular art, Roy looks […]
Flickr user Kiolden’s vignette is worth highlighting for a very clever technique used. Can you see what it is? It’s flowers on a string for the smoke from the rocket! This is a very useful and a much cheaper alternative to the ice-cream smoke technique invented by Mark Stafford.
LEGO Public Relations wants to know who has the world’s largest minifig collection. This could mean the highest quantity of minifigs or the most unique minifigs. If you think you have a shot or would like to mention someone else, please comment to this post!

LEGO Ambassador Chiukeung won the Hong Kong Scene Building contest with his lighted model of Hong Kong’s Clock Tower and Cultural Centre. The entire scene measures 3′x3′x2′ and is wired with colorful lights. So what does the builder receive for his hard work and creativity? Two roundtrip tickets to LEGOLAND Billund. Enjoy your trip Chiukeung!

A group of LEGO fans, college professors, and students recently participated in H.A.L.E., the High Altitude LEGO Extravaganza. The goal? Launch a bunch of LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT systems with cameras covering the ascent to nearly 100,000 feet and subsequent descent (via parachute) back to Earth.
This amazing photo shows the weather balloon bursting at 99,712 feet:

Things are unlikely to end well in this vignette by Tyler:
Note the suckers on the tentacle, as well as the Lowell-Lambrecht sphere from which the unlucky girl is suspended.
I just loved Jamie Spencer’s recent Final Fantasy X-2 minifigs, created by combining his custom decal designs with scanned minifig photos in Photoshop.
Jamie has added another batch of Final Fantasy minifigs, from Final Fantasy XII and Final Fantasy Tactics A2, as well as a couple more from X-2.
Ashe and Balthier from Final Fantasy XII:
Penelo […]
Nannan’s post earlier today about Matt’s bitey yellow schoolbus reminded me of Teikjoon’s bitey yellow chair.
Behold the “Barkalounger!”
Note how the rider’s legs form the eyes. How cool is that?
The music video for Radiohead’s “House of Cards” from In Rainbows (naturally available from ) just seemed to be begging for the LEGO treatment.
Ian Mackinnon obliges with this strange and gorgeous rendition (with a hat-tip to reader wb):
Ian used the 3D plotting data from the original video to do his time-lapse LEGO interpretation of “House […]
Matt S. shows what happens at the end of summer, which involves finding oneself on the big bad yellow bus once again. But I don’t remember my school bus having sharp teeth that chomped on children. Oh how times change.
Although the sought-after Vestas Windmill will not be available for the general public, you can attempt to build your own through the official instructions from LEGO. The instructions come in part 1 and part 2.
Mechanical anthropologists have long speculated about the afterlife of the Primal Bots captured on film by field researcher Rong Yiren.
Now we have the answer in this photo titled “Damnation!”
Yes, but where do good Primal Bots go when their power sources run out?
Yup, that’s me. My latest distraction is this little beauty from Vdude, with cargo modules in a variety of colors:
For more salient commentary on the finer points of this LEGO creation, you may prefer to reference Yahtzee Spittoon Assignation Blowfish.
As a continuation to his tea house, Nathan has posted a lovely Zen garden.
The beauty of the leaning tree is likely to distract those seeking to clear their minds, while the perfect torii evokes thoughts of Shinto-Buddhist syncretism — but we won’t go there.
And now for something completely different. A Wells, Fargo […]
