Blocko Brand Retail Store

It’s LEGO Simpson’s favorite Block retail store:

And check out the detailed inside:

You can see this, and more of Matt’s LEGO-Springfield at Brickworld: Chicago in just over a month!

The Homer – the car designed for the average man.

Tonight we’re going to witness automotive history … Powerful like a Gorilla … yet soft and yielding like a NERF-ball.

Introducing The Homer:

Featuring:

Two bubble domes – a second sound proof dome for kids (comes with optional restraints and muzzles).

Three horns – to play the song “La Cucaracha.” – as you can never find a horn when you’re mad.

Extremely large beverage holders.

Tail fins

Shag Carpeting!

All this can be yours for the $140,000 USD (inflation adjusted).

I hope everyone enjoyed the last night’s LEGO Simpson’s episode last night. And I’m glad that Brian Williams built this amazing version of the classic car Homer designed way back in season 2!

Bionicle Gundam Mark IV

I think that Gundams are probably by far our most blogged mechs, but I don’t think I can ever recall ever seeing a Bionicle/Hero-factory/System Gundam, let alone one that looks as amazing as the one Micah B (Arkov) just built:

Viking Short House

I’m not sure of the historical authenticity of the build, but I can tell you for sure that Dwalin Forkbeard built a cute little viking house:

He’s done a great job with shaping the roof and adding the right amount of details on the side of the building. But what what really makes this moc great for me is the little landscaping – the irregular shape, the carefully placed plates and tiles, and the fantastically balanced fence.

Junk Trader

I must say this piece of junk by j¤nesy is fantastic:

I’ve actually tried to build one before, but even 4 times as big as j¤nesy’s, I wasn’t able to recreate the distinctive elegance that he has managed to capture with this creation. The use of the old Ninja Sails is nothing short of an epic technique. But it doesn’t stop there – the little details of the rolled up silks in the boat and the fantastic rolling waters just adds the this already amazing build.

Curiosity killed the bot.

After Tyler posted an anti-frog build, A Plastic Infinity decided to show us Frogs are smarter than the average bot, with this amusing build:

While it was definitely the humour that caught my eye (not to mention the cute little frog), there are actually a lot of fantastic build techniques he’s used in the bot itself. From the brilliantly illegal shoulder joint connections, to the marvelous finger connection – this bot just fantastic.

Friday Night Fights – Koma Combat

Welcome back fight fans, to Sin City Nevada for another round of Friday Night Fights! Tonight we’re recapping the best of Marchikoma – the yearly think-tank build month. Let’s go to the tale of the tape.

In the Bley corner we have Cole with his Jigatsu MZ-5000 (with cool truck):

In the Green corner we have Blaq with his AMT 853-JH:

Yes you read that right, Cole vs Blaq, in the first and probably only FNF self contest – Despite my best effort, Cole Blaq’s efforts last month was jaw dropping good. And of course if you missed any Koma’s – you can see an overview of all the builds here.

As usual, constant reader, you are tasked with deciding the outcome of this bout by way of comment. On the last edition of Friday Night Fights, Micro GARCs, Jacob wins the race 8-5 ! Tune in next week for another action packed edition of Friday Night Fights!

Dayan of Wachifield

These critters are down right adorable. ArzLan has recreated the mischievous cat Dayan and Marcy of Wachifield.

Written in 1999 by Akiko Ikeda, Wachifield is a series of children’s book originally released in Japan.
Though I’m not exactly sure who the second cat is…
