1,000,000 Points is what Angus MacLane wins for building the cast of my favorite show on TV, 30 Rock. Here’s Frank Rossitano (Judah Friedlander), complete with trucker hat:
…plus four more, including the lovely Liz Lemon:
I want to go to there.

The original LEGO Black Falcons never had digs this sweet
On one hand, it’s difficult to continue being surprised at the brilliant LEGO creations that Kris Kelvin churns out with alarming regularity. On the other hand, we can rely on a steady stream of cool stuff to enjoy every month or two, like “Castle of the Order of the Black Falcons”.
The Emerald Viper
Tito challenged himself to use what is sometimes considered a “useless” part. Make it the cowling for an awesome speeder bike, and there’s no such thing as a useless LEGO element.
The minifig hand attached to the horn on the front is a lovely little detail.
Princess Emmy’s Tranquil Lakeside Escape
busboy489 has produced another fantastic entry for Classic-Castle‘s annual contest. I particularly like the gentle curve of the walk-way between the two towers over the water. It’s quite elegant.
Howitzer Motor Carriage M8
Is it wrong that I think this treaded engine of death is adorable? Apparently, the M8 is a real vehicle from World War II, but that stubby little cannon is really rather cute. Keep ’em rolling, Captain Eugene.
On the frigid plains of Hoth
We generally don’t feature the all-too-common (though sometimes artistic) photos of official LEGO sets people post online, but these ones by Avanaut are hardly stormtroopers in cereal bowls.
The rebel air corps may need a bit of help from their ground crew to get into this frozen Y-wing:
A pair of rebel troopers take advantage of the weather for a bit of winter fun:
Photoshop, you say. No. It’s all real. Thanks for the tip, Dave Eaton!

8087 TIE Defender review
Brickshelf user Lumix has posted a comprehensive gallery of photos of the upcoming TIE Defender in 2010. The retail price of the set is $49.99 I believe.
Mike Wazowski experiences a rather nasty surprise
Iain Heath (Ochre Jelly) makes a rather hilarious connection between Mike from Monsters, Inc. and a Granny Smith apple. Jaw-dropping indeed.
For a bonus Monsters, Inc. LEGO creation, here’s “Boo’s Door” by Alex Eylar:

Not-quite-floating rock
qworg presents “Pegasus’ Fortress,” a small castle on a very tall spire of rock.
Notice the town, docks, and even clouds far below the castle. The combination of minifig scale and microscale create a forced-perspective effect that takes this from cool to awesome.
LEGO Harry Potter game trailer shows cutscenes but little gameplay [News]
TT Games has released a trailer for their upcoming LEGO Harry Potter video game. It doesn’t show a lot of gameplay footage, but reveals the studio’s signature humor.

A monastery in ruins
Barney Main (SlyOwl) is known for his action-packed, medium-sized castle dioramas. His newest creation depicts the dissolution of a monastery 1536 under Henry VIII. There are lots of details and techniques to soak in, including the roof, the window designs, and the chandeliers and altar in the interior.
