Microspace Escort Carrier by Adrian Florea
Historical Personages by Morgan19
I’ve admired Morgan19‘s minifigs ever since I noticed his great Firefly minifigs. The latest batch is a group of historical minifigs, entries for the Fine Clonier Historical Minifig Contest.
I might quibble with the “historical” nature of some of these, but it’s a great collection of minifigs, presented beautifully.
Tower on the Water by RebelRock
Check out this nifty castle by RebelRock.
Gotta love the studless water and he’s got Brickforge animals too!
Purple skies of Nnenn
Not so neutral now, are we?
Spacer Jerac adds to his microscale Swiss fleet with the formidable dreadnaught Briareus.

How Ben Ellerman survived Castle 2007
Back in April, I posted about LEGO Ambassador Mark Sandlin’s involvement with the Mars Mission theme. With Castle 2007 out for several months and anticipation building toward next year’s sets, Ben Ellerman takes some time to look back and reflect on his involvement in the development of the current Castle theme.
Here’s Ben in the LEGO archives in Billund, Denmark:
You can read all about Ben’s contributions to the Castle theme on LEGOfan.org.
Two turntables and a microphone
Brothers Brick reader Kevin Guoh sent us a link to his Flickr photostream a few weeks ago, and I promptly lost his message in our mountain of reader submission e-mail. :-( Among his creations is this great DJ console (and don’t miss his floor lamp). Sorry, Kevin! Better late than never?
More 2008 LEGO Castle, Indiana Jones, and Star Wars set pictures [News]
Well, it’s that time of the year again. Fans everywhere are running across better and better pictures of upcoming sets. Eurobricks is famous (dare I say notorious?) for finding leaked pictures, and this latest batch is no exception.
Bearing in mind that we don’t yet know if these are just prototypes, and that LEGO has not yet confirmed that these are even “official,” here are a few of my favorites (see Eurobricks for bigger pictures and several more I didn’t include here):
7622 Race for the Stolen Treasure:
7620 Motorcycle Chase:
7668 Rebel Scout Speeder:
7036 Dwarfs Mining:
7048:
Of particular note for Castle fans:
- Trolls in brown and green.
- Green dragon with armor.
- Two new helmets for the goblins and two more for the dwarfs.
- A new sword for the goblins and a new club for the trolls.
- Two new beard designs for the dwarfs.

Calloused Boxer by Zach Clapsadle
This larger-than-minifig-scale steampunk racer by Zach Clapsadle is just begging to be picked up and swooshed around the room with very loud vrooming noises.
