Even robots sometimes get down in the dumps and have to scrounge for a living. Though this reminds me of something from the Futurama universe, Teikjoon sets this lovely little vignette in the Star Wars universe, where — on a planet embargoed by the Trade Federation — unemployed robots “choose to stay operational, scavenging for […]
I suspect Harrison may end up spending time at the Chestnut Tree Cafe for his inability to goodthink, but his vignette is doubleplusgood regardless:
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Serenity, Firefly, and now Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-Long Blog — everything that Joss Whedon touches turns to gold.
Here’s my take on a scene from Act II of Dr. Horrible:
Go watch all three episodes for yourself on DrHorrible.com (before the end of the day today, though — they’ll be gone after midnight, July […]
Zach (BabyJawa) enters the Picking up the Pieces ApocaLEGO contest with this vignette titled “Forest Haven”:
Never underestimate the power of well-posed minifigs. For such a small scene, there’s a lot going on, with great landscaping underneath it all. I especially like the overhanging rocks above the pool of water.
New updates to genius-builder Michael Jasper’s Brickshelf folders of Characters and Things are always a treat.

Despite Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom being many people’s least favorite film in the original trilogy, the mine cart chase scene remains one of my own favorites. It would seem that many LEGO fans agree, given the large number of LEGO creations inspired by this iconic sequence in the movie.
Although a couple days […]

And what Doctor Sinister’s daughter wants, Doctor Sinister’s daughter gets:
That genie is genius. If you had three LEGO wishes, what would you wish for?
So where’s the Matt Damon minifigure?
Justin Vaughn captures the opening lines of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower series with a pair of minifigs.
“The Man in Black fled across the desert, and the Gunslinger followed…”
(The post title is a pair of lines from Shakespeare’s King Lear, which inspired the closing line and title of Robert Browning’s poem “Childe Roland to […]
In Ley Ward’s world, Clancy ain’t no lilly-livered pacifist. He wears a black hat and ain’t afeared of nobody.
Obxcrew applies his vignette-building skills to the tortured world of ApocaLEGO, as three men huddle around a campfire:
The wall and stack of wood are nice touches, as is the mixture of sand green in the otherwise brown and white landscape.
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.
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:
Castle builder Piotr Lewandowski has recreated several iconic scenes from the Star Wars universe as Castle vignettes.
Here’s “Duel of Mates” (inspired by “Duel of the Fates” between Qui-Gon Gin and Darth Maul in Episode I):
And another duel, on “BestPin,” between Luke Groundwalker and Darth Father (heh heh):
