Mumu seems to have run across a new set on LEGO Shop@Home, G577 Vikings Chess Set. That link doesn’t work anymore, but Mumu lifted this picture before the set disappeared from S@H:

Horace Cheng puts his Laputa minifigs and flappters to excellent use in his first vignette (via VignetteBricks):

Sigh… Remember my posts about Nannan’s alien abduction? And osk’s aliens? I seem to have angered our All-Seeing Overlords. Well, at least they’re taking it out on this poor dude (vig by Moko):
Naturally, Moko has included light-up brain-sucking action:
Inevitably, this process leads to the sweet release of death:
Poor dude. Oh well.

Scaramouche, scaramouche! Will you do the fandango?
Happy with his Prince minifigs, Izzo is on a musical roll. Here’s Queen:

Izzo’s recent series of awesome mecha hardly seems like it’s going to stop anytime soon, but his blog posts over the last few days have included two versions of the Artist Formerly Known as Prince and then Known as Prince Again after Being Called an Unpronouncable Symbol for a While (heh heh).
Here’s Prince with (a somewhat larger-than-life version of) his motorcycle from Purple Rain:
And here’s His Royal Princeness with an awesome “do,” cravat, and guitar:

With a recent update, I just discovered Stuart Immonen’s Flickr photostream. Unlike those of us with hundreds (I’m pushing 500) LEGO images, Stuart has just a handful, but they’re all pretty darn cool. In no particular order, here are a few of my favorites.
Gregor Samsa from Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis:
A beautiful lady — Plastic Fantastic indeed:
A “Van Ship” from the anime series Last Exile:
The title character from the classic anime series Astro Boy:

Inspired by anime director Hayao Miyazaki’s masterpiece Laputa: Castle in the Sky, Horace Cheng presents a great set of “flappters” with excellent minifig passengers:
Horace has a fleet of four flappters, so be sure to check out the gallery to see them flying in formation!
And here’s the crew of the air-pirate zeppelin Tigermoth (inspiration for all steampunk airships since):

I can’t say I’m tired of all the sleek fighters in what is turning out to be a really fun contest, but Mike Psiaki’s entry is just plain different:
With hardly any big sloped pieces in sight, Mike uses very few pieces found in current sets. Different is good.

Okay, I’m on page 7 — I promise I’m almost done. Here’s Legohaulic’s entry:
Great Old Republic color scheme, cockpit, and inclusion of astromech droid. Oh, and the big gun is pretty cool.

I didn’t mean to negate the coolness of Dennis Coh’s FBTB contest entry in my previous post by only blogging the minifig. The R-wing itself is pretty darn cool:

Contests seem to bring out the best in builders. Chris Malloy joins the R-wing contest:
“But it doesn’t look like an R at all,” you may say. That is where you are gravely mistaken:
