A nice image has recently surfaced for 8128 Cad Bane’s Speeder, one of the summer special edition Star Wars sets. I’m excited about the rare minifigs included in this set.

Ben Fleskes takes us back in time to the ’80s arcade gaming with a tabletop game unit built out of Lego. The electronics are integrated so that one can actually play the games. Check out more details on Ben’s website.
In regards to the Technic builder Peer (Mahjqa) Kreuger, I’ve come to expect the unexpected in the functional creations that one can make out of Lego. His latest Stilzkin Bridge Launcher is a vehicle that carries and deploys its own bridge to cross a chasm. Check out this must-see video for the entire action footage.
The Kockice LEGO Club based in Zagreb, Croatia is hosting a large Lego expo from May 13 to June 24. If you’re around the area, this is an event you may want to check out.
Here’s some info on what’s included in the expo from the coordinator Matija Grguric.
There will be featured lots of large models, including all current exclusive sets, a large city diorama, scaled models of Croatian buildings, a steampunk diorama featuring more than 30 aircrafts, castle diorama, pirates diorama, SW dioramas, space and many more. Exhibition space is spread on 450 square meters. LEGO is also participating with some of their models and displays, including a huge Einstein head weighing more than 250 kg.
There is also a playing area for kids and a playing workshop for kids where they build a huge fireman out of basic bricks. There will also be posters with models from AFOLs around the world, and some posters with history of LEGO, LUGs, AFOLs, SNOT and many others!
I just watched Iron Man 2 this weekend, and I’m happy to see that Peter C. has captured the awesomeness of Iron Man in an action figure sized build. The head is a custom Lego-compatible piece from Hazel’s Amazing Armory, the core is a Clickits icon.
dzine123 brings us the full story of the Star Wars Trilogy condensed into ~2 minutes as told by a kid with one heck of a LEGO collection :)
EDIT: Regardless of the voice talent, this was actually created by LEGO, not “a kid with one heck of a LEGO collection.”
Bisonfuehrer‘s Vic Viper for the Missing Man display at BrickWorld 2010 has pink bubbles that remind me of a bubble eye goldfish. It’s one of the most innovative space creations I’ve seen in a while; the use of the onion dome certainly tops the chart for creativity.
I occasionally love a good comic, especially if it involves someone I know. Do you think you know Mark Kelso beyond his brick monstrosities? Check out this comic by Jeff F. on MOCpages and you might learn more about the legend, more than you need to that is. If you care about the building techniques in the setup, visit Brickshelf for easy viewing of all the pictures.
Forget about mega blasters and great swords; it just needs a giant pair of scissors to do the job. Arkov’s Ragdoll has indeed that, and some very stylish hair.
Shannon Young‘s Skunk Base N is teeming with the goodies of Classic Space. Integrated into a rocky terrain, the base features cool details such as a light rail, landing pad, and supplies store. Check out the full gallery on MOCpages.
Flickr user Robiwan Kenobi built a Swiss Army knife from Bionicle and Technic pieces. Even the folding mechanism works for all the utensils. So, is it possible to add a fold-out brick separator?
