What is it about minifig mayhem that we love so much? I don’t know either, but Juliusz recently posted a nicely detailed “Heating Plant”, complete with a workplace injury!

I love swooshablility!
Nnenn has posted yet another awesome spacey-thang.
If I owned this, I would be running up and down the hallway with it, making swooshing noises…
Nnenn’s own description:
“This is the custom UGT with duo-core suspenders, extended foil, guide accelerators, and two reverse negagravs that Ioz Petrisusha entered into the Hadis Games under the name Danielle. Spoiled rich kid didnt even need a single sponser.”
Henry Jones, Sr. and the Flock of Seagulls
Piotrek kicks off the Indiana Jones contest on Klocki with this great scene from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade:
The umbrella design is not something I’ve seen before, and the birds are wonderful.
Photos of upcoming Mars Mission, SpongeBob, and Technic sets [News]
Brickshelf user whung has found some more pictures of upcoming sets that’s never before seen by the community. Here are the ones that were most recently uploaded:
Hits of the 80s
Here’s a couple for the oldies…
Hearkening back to the good ‘ol days of Classic Space, Pete Reid (legoloverman) presents LL-612, his excellent, modern take on a theme that many of us loved.
And heading forward a few years I give us a modernised take on the robots and buggies common to Futuron.
LV-16p by Tony Hafner
Oh yes, orange is beautiful. Tony Hafner‘s LV-16p truck sports a high-contrast paint scheme and is equipped for prospecting:

Harfleur under siege
According to Wikipedia, the French town of Harfleur changed hands between the English and the French repeatedly between 1415 and 1562, including being pillaged by the Huguenot.
I’m not sure which particular incident Brickshelfer Reejoc is illustrating with this Castle creation, but things don’t look good for the residents of Harfleur:
T-301 Advanced Main Battle Tank by Jas Nagra
Jas Nagra‘s latest tank is smooth and shiny:
See the Brickshelf gallery for more pictures, along with all of Jas’ previous tanks.
Scharnvirk’s starfighter
Jarek (aka Jerac) deviates from his usual style of building spaceships to create this alien starfighter, claiming to have watched too much of my works. This ship reminds me of a flying face of death, and the colored reflections on the hull add a nice rust shade of texturing to the craft. I had originally thought the model contains brown elements, but it’s black, tentacly -certainly a mutated spaceship.
Fabuland crosses black fantasy
Jordan Schwartz’s (SirNadroj) fascination with the Fabuland theme is spreading its presence to everywhere. His latest work encroaches upon two themes of my world: surrealism and black fantasy. The result is something dynamically hilarious in my opinion. Nice work Jordan, way to bring the Fabuland happiness plague to the dark realm of interdimensional and biomechanical despair :)
Laputa: Castle in the Sky flaptters by Horace Cheng
I didn’t think that Horace Cheng could improve on the wonderful flaptters (from Hayao Miyazaki’s Laputa: Castle in the Sky) we featured here a couple of years ago, but Horace proves me wrong with a “version 2”:
Though I kind of miss the grill, the overall shape is much better, and the chain works rather well for the safety rail. The Photoshop job certainly adds to the charm, with “Laputa: Castle in the Sky” in Japanese (天空の城ラピュタ).
Dragonator defends the Ravine Tavern against a goblin horde
Reader ExoBuilder sends word of a great Castle creation called “The Ravine Tavern” by Dragonator:
The half-timber house presents a nice contrast to the stonework, and I love the tree-lined street. Go Crown Knights, go! (Though I think the goblin horde is pretty darn cool.)
