Wojciech Scrat demonstrates that LEGO sharks seem to be evolving in size — starting with the old-style sharks, continuing with the more recent LEGO Pirates shark, culminating in the LEGO DUPLO shark that rivals megalodon in scale. The compatibility between DUPLO and SYSTEM is a bit of a moot point here, given the dynamic way Continue reading →
I can’t believe no one has thought of it earlier, because using a checkered flag for a chessboard is brilliant. Nice going Ivana Zetko!
ChromeBricks, the supplier of quality chromed Lego elements, recently released new colors including metallic silver, metallic gold, and antique brass. To show the quality of the new metallic colors, I built a vignette integrating metallic silver parts from both LEGO and ChromeBricks. I bet you can’t tell which parts are official and which ones are Continue reading →
I’ve been enjoying the recent Doctor Who for several years now, but I actually preferred Torchwood. Regardless, I’m looking forward to the next incarnation of the Doctor — the 11th — here portrayed in LEGO, complete with a TARDIS, by Mark Stafford (lego_nabii): Via VignetteBricks.
Pixar movies seem to be a serious favorite here, and for me, UP is no exception. Peter Aoun’s latest little vignette brings the same sense of wonder, of far off places, of strange birds…and Doug.
After really enjoying Terminator Salvation last year, I thought we’d see quite a few LEGO creations inspired by the movie, but the only LEGO I’d run across was my own Terminator Salvation minifigs. Thankfully, tbone_tbl seems to have appreciated what I think is the best movie in the series, and has created a microscale vignette Continue reading →
This microscale version of the McCallister house from Home Alone by Rob H. (rh1985moc) evokes cold Northeast winters and warm nights by the fireplace. Like several of his previous creations, Rob has added LEDs to the windows so it lights up in the dark. Of course, this also a good excuse to highlight Rob’s older Continue reading →
And his kicks will split you in half. Mark Kelso (Amhakia) made this vignette using lots of brilliant techniques and 100% unmodified Lego parts. Did you know that stickers can be used to connect pieces? Find out how he used them and more in the descriptions!

Proximity to Valentine’s Day seems appropriate enough for the Halloween/Christmas hybrid that is The Nightmare Before Christmas. This vignette by Stefan (brainbikerider) featuring Jack Skellington singing beneath the full moon won a recent vignette contest among Austrian LEGO fans.
It’s always nice to see something completely new. Today, Théo (Titolian) brings us a truly new use for the white version of canopies — a parachute:
This fetching little scene, by Bart De Dobbelaer, is packed with lots of fun little details. It truly gives new meaning to “Catch of the Day”!
Bart De Dobbelaer is currently making a series of vignettes depicting a minifig called Pete’s encounters in the world of LEGO Atlantis. In this scene below, Pete learns that sushi may contain mermaids. You can see the other scenes on Flickr.
Carter Baldwin posted a creation a few days ago that’s feeling pretty relevant to me right now. Here in DC, we’re expecting a snowfall of up to two feet. While stuck inside, I’ve been splitting my time between building, and looking for things to blog here. Carter’s creation hit just the right cord for me. Continue reading →
Shannon Young, who just announced the winners of his Vig/orama Contest, illustrates the potential answer to a question that someone might ask you on a street corner: “Have you found Jesus?” Why yes, in fact, Frank has found Jesus. You have to admit, it’s pretty funny. Via GodBricks, where Bruce has an excellent theological point Continue reading →
