ImpreSariO recently posted this nice vignette featuring a monkey playing pranks on a bunch of golfers:
But what’s really unique about this vignette is the golf cart, which has a particularly ingenious SNOT (Studs Not on Top) building technique that connects the front wheels to the hood:
As Klocki points out, those are flex-tubes (which even hardcore purists must admit are okay to cut) inserted into the studs. Brilliant!
Steve Bishop gets in on some miniland action with this great set of Futurama figs:
My favorite is Dr. Zoidberg, so he gets the quote in the post title.
Like several of the LEGO fans we feature here, Alex Eylar (Flickr) is one of those builders whose work we could feature just about every time he posts something. Alex’s latest creations are a rootin’ tootin’ pair of Wild West battle-critters.
The Bullfrog has a very large saw blade:
The Huckleberry skitters along on the tips of rifles:
The LUGPol “Policemen and Thieves” contest has Brickshelfer Crises chasing itty bitty crooks through the streets of an itty bitty city (complete with subway system).

As has been previously blogged here I made a cave racer and asked Jas Nagra to make a variant. As a few people expressed interest in doing their own I posted a couple more and marked the blue one with the design criterion. Well it is now developing into a little league with various racers popping up so I created a flickr group to collect the racers.
EDIT: Some clearer guidelines
I just love this racer by Vaughan James. Vaughan’s use of the new “cheese grater” (slope grill) piece as air intakes is brilliant, and the spiky shape is pure win.

The Flickr LUGNuts Your Claim to Fame building challenge wraps up in two days, so this seems like a good time to highlight some of the great creations the contest has generated so far.
Nathan Proudlove (whose LUGNuts blog is a must-read) goes miniland-scale with his entry, a tribute to Scooby Doo and the whole Scooby crew:
Lino Martins gives classic Batman the miniland treatment too:
Ralph Savelsberg‘s Shelby Cobra 427:
Matt Armstrong‘s quartet of micro entries:
Check out all the great entries so far in the discussion thread on Flickr.
Magnus Lauglo adds some serious hardware to his semi-futuristic military with a pair of Jaguar A1 main battle tanks (above — love the arctic camo!) and Dragon helicopter gunship (below).
Brickshelf user TN-FACTORY presents this unfinished train which seems to be a model of a Nagoya liveried 7000 Series locomotive. As a general rule I like to wait for things to be finished but in this case the sculpting and angling is so superb I had to break that rule.
Christophe Bongay presents an innovative style of making a vignette – in a block! It’s creative, funny, and innovative, I like it.
The brick selection at LEGO Shop at Home has been updated recently to include some new parts and minifig-accessories. Head on over to see what’s new for sale.
Please excuse the cliched title. My second redux project of late. Based on the pristine 1950s American cars you see around Cuba as a result of the trade sanctions. It may be a 57 Bel Air.
