The Brothers Brick

Nothing, it’s lovely, as is this Shaun the Sheep from “Wallace & Gromit” by Piotr (Pepik), via the Living Brick — welcome back, OJ.

Nearly as cute is Pepik’s Polish “tankette”.

Craig Lyons (legolyons) has added a new addition to his Wonka Universe:

The whole thing just works for me: the fantastic purple forklift, the head-sized jawbreakers, and the Oompa Loompas. You can get a better view of the Oompa Loompas here, as well as his Willy Wonka and Mr. Slugworth mini-figures.

As twee affect rightly notes, we’re going to be seeing a lot of LEGO creations inspired by District 9 over the coming weeks. Some truly crappy, others rather awesome, like this biosuit by Erik (Lemon_Boy).

This is actually based on the suits from “Alive in JoBerg” — the short film writer/director Neill Blomkamp expanded into the [...]

Adrian Drake has done an incredible job here. This ship is gorgeous. It’s over a 100 studs in length and almost entirely studless. I’m very impressed. Beautiful!

As well as all the other parts of Voltron. I always loved Voltron when I was a kid, and Mark Sandlin’s rendition using a TeknoMeka frame is a fantastic representation. This model looks great, even if the show hasn’t stood up to the test of time.

And yes, this Voltron does divide up into [...]

Variety recently reported that Warner Brothers has brokered a deal with LEGO. They are making a movie. Did you see this coming? I sure didn’t.
Here’s what Variety has to say:
WB is toying with plans to develop a movie around Lego and its popular building blocks.
Scribes Dan and Kevin Hageman are [...]

I think we could blog pretty much everything Stefan (-2×4-) has posted so far. Following his mini Battlestar Galactica fighters, Stefan’s Star Trek fleet includes a nice variety of ships.

Naturally, resistance is futile.

Even if you haven’t seen the cartoon, you may recognize these adorable characters from Shaun the Sheep built by Misa Qa.

Johnny Tang built the Scopedog mecha from VOTOMS in all its armored magnificence. The creation stands about 1.5 feet tall and features a furnished cockpit revealed in the video below.

Editor’s note: This creation incorporates large amounts of non-LEGO elements from a brand called BTR or “Built to Rule,” from Hasbro. Despite featuring “mixed media” creations [...]

Stefan’s (-2×4-) Battlestar Galactica hanger, comparable to ChiefLUG’s, is an impressive display for a one man build. The tiles on the dividers add a nice texture to contrast with the smooth floor and wall.

That alien queen needs to be bombarded from orbit. This microscale U.S.S. Sulaco by 2×4 seems up to the job.

Via MicroBricks.

Kevin Fedde had this burst out recently. Watch out, it could happen to you.

Mrs. Monster has produced a tribute to everyone’s favorite cartoon alien, Marvin the Martian. This reminds me of . . . college, there was a guy in my dorm who wore nothing but Marvin the Martian t-shirts, he had at least a dozen.

Thanks to James Shields for the tip.

Skipping the phrase that comes afterwards, we bring you to Dirk VH’s brick-built Kenny from South Park, complete with axe in head and the resulting gore effects.

Until a certain decreasingly juvenile wizard graces theaters next Wednesday, the 150-minute chase sequence, errr, Michael Bay extravaganza known as Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen remains the #1 movie in America.
My irrelevant movie critique aside, John Ho (IcedPlusCoffee) brings us a pair of rather cool cool-looking characters from the film.

No, they don’t actually [...]

I’d been looking forward to Tyler Clite’s (Legohaulic) display for BrickWorld before the event, so I naturally split my face with a smile so wide when I saw Zion Dock Defense in person. This scale of this creation and the sense of action conveyed by the dynamic poses of the APUs and the Sentinels are [...]

Seems appropriate to feature these two creations in the same post, since they capture very different sides of the same coin, but I found them within 24 hours of each other.
The first is a great detail-rich street scene by SlyOwl capturing a scene inspired by the film “Die Welle.” It’s apparently based on the [...]

Larry Lars has been on a bit of an Aliens kick lately.
His Colonial Marines APC is the latest in a long tradition of LEGO creations inspired by this awesome vehicle, but Larry’s version has some excellent turrets and sweet angles.

The Power Loader looks ready to take on the alien queen.
