…call in this guy. This mech by flickr user Bockaderunner sports some terrific heavy weapons, and looks great to boot. The posing of the mech is awesome, and gives it a much more dynamic presence than a simple at-attention pose.

Hobbiton in the round
J.R.R. Tolkein’s own artwork for The Hobbit shows many different hobbit holes in Hobbiton, but it’s rare to see anything other than Bilbo’s green-doored Bag End. So, it’s quite a nice change to see this gorgeous, different slice of Hobbiton by Brick Vader. I love the way the shape of the diorama’s base reflects the iconic round doors.
You can see more photos (including interior shots) on Imperium der Steine.
Catch all of Carson Hart’s LEGO Pokemon
Unless your heart is made of stone, you’ll fall in love with these adorable LEGO Pokemon and their trainer by Carson Hart.
I think that’s Blastoise, Venusaur, Charizard, Ash, and Snorlax. How evolved!
G.I. Joe + Classic Space = Win
When I first saw Jason Heltebridle’s (Moctagon Jones) latest creation, I immediately thought Cobra POGO. In my books anything that reminds me of a classic G.I. Joe vehicle is glorious…the fact that Jason built a cleanly designed and nicely detailed space vehicle helped too I suppose.
Theme mashing
Elliott Feldman‘s diorama is an example of the unhindered mind at work. At first glance I passed this MOC as another castle creation, but the builder reminded me to take another look, which quickly revealed subjects from different themes mashed into the diorama. It even features a spoof on Super Mario and Halo. Take a look at more pictures on MOCpages and see what you can find on this packed scene.
Ras-al-Jabar, where merchants and soldiers mingle
Each year lots of traditional castles spring up for the Colossal Castle Contest on Classic-Castle.com, but there are a few that depict more exotic themes in the LEGO Castle theme, such as Fianat‘s Ras-al-Jabar, which displays a set of great-looking Middle Eastern architectural wonders.

Everything in its right place.
Chris’ (Ironsniper) AV Transport Truck is an example of a model where no piece is wasted. He says that this was a morning power-build, that is some efficient building! The more I look at this, the more I love it. The sleek near-future style with the clean colour scheme and simplistic cargo all come together so nicely.
Every time I create something out of LEGO, I try and do it in such a way that every piece has a purpose. I don’t think I have achieved this yet, but Chris’ model makes me want to try harder.
Build-A-Bot wall decor
Colorful, whimsical, and now practical, these are the words to describe Tyler’s (Legohaulic) Christmas present for his sister. The robot parts are pinned to the backboard and can be rearranged to create endless possibilities.
More than a pile of bricks
To most of us a pile of bricks is just a mess that needs to be cleaned up, but Thorsten Bonsch (Xenomurphy) rearranged a pile of bricks into an artistic depiction of Spider-Man.
LEGO Big Daddy from Bioshock
Eero Okkonen (Pate-keetongu) did a fantastic job of making Bioshock’s iconic Big Daddy. The use of the large Technic ball on the head is perfect.
What lies in the depths
Bart De Dobbelaer‘s latest addition to his picture story of the Hive shows a massive lair. The lights and fog on top of the intricately designed structures make this one of the most atmospheric Lego photos I’ve seen.
Treebeard’s Holiday Special
BrotherhoodWorkshop presents another amusing installment of their LEGO Lord of the Rings videos, this time featuring the Ent Treebeard — along with the usual orcs.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas, full of boxes under the tree that rattle in that very special way.
