You don’t have to be a genius billionaire playboy philanthropist to make your own Arc Reactor. In fact, this one by H.Y. Leung (Mr.Attacki) with a built-in glow feature is pretty convincing.

Creations for Charity now accepting donations for the 2012 fundraiser!
The 4th annual Creations for Charity fundraising event is now accepting donations of Lego creations. Creations for Charity raises money by selling these donated creations to buy Lego sets for underprivileged children. Anyone can donate a Lego creation from now until November 15. All you have to do is fill out a form and be prepared to ship the creation directly to the buyer. Starting this year, you can choose to be reimbursed for the cost of making your creation, so it’s easier to part with your bricks!
If this is your first time participating, you can learn more about Creations for Charity or read the FAQs on their website.
This year Creations for Charity will be donating the Lego sets to multiple cities in the US as well as in Croatia and Chile as part of our ongoing effort to expand our donations. To refresh your memory, take a look at all the Lego sets donated last year!
Invert Island
Can you Believe that the first photo below is a color-inverted image? That’s because the actual creation is built out of an inverted color scheme! It’s one of the recent innovations by Siercon and Coral.
Echo Base Run!
Bored at work? Take a break and solve this maze by Dave Benson. In this custom Star Wars board game, the goal is to reach your opponent’s corner by moving based on the dice roll. It’s simple and well-presented.

Mech engineering bay hides beneath this beautiful red barn
What may look like a farm barn by Mike Yoder is actually an engineering bay for a mecha. Covert? Yes. Clever? Definitely.
Check out the video for some functional elements of the build.
Stake your claim on the Arc Hammer
If there’s ever such a thing as a SHIP on wheels, then this is it. Pierre E Fieschi spent the last six weeks constructing this Capital Planetary Deployment Unit for the colonization of distant worlds. Despite the unusual shape of this vehicle, it looks very functional from the right balance of details and distinctly colored components.
When digging on an alien planet, you never know what you’ll find
Bart De Dobbelaer is back in story-telling mode again, but this time he’s doing it completely through un-captioned pictures. His news series is called the Hive and begins with an extraterrestrial excavation scene. Check back at Bart’s Flickr photostream to see the story unfold.
Lego Pokemon Scizor
Mike Nieves (retinence) have made several Pokemon creations with his elegant Bionicle/System style. His most recent build of Scizor is one of my favorites. Whoever commissioned it is one lucky customer.
10228 Haunted House animated review
Max Yang (ArtiFex Creation) has been keeping up his animated reviews of many of the recent sets. Unlike traditional reviews, Max shows you the brick-by-brick construction process of each set, leaving you with the experience of almost having built the set yourself.
