When Okay Yaramanoglu used Lego Toy Story minifigs to create Star Wars characters, the result is both startling and hilarious. See if you can identify who is who in this photo. You can find the answers in Okay’s Flickr photostream.

Dragon of the Golden Towers
Really good Micro-scale is hard to do, but Crises_crs did it. I love the dragon and the Bionicle baseplate fits perfectly.
Arcturus interstellar freighter
Jon Walker posted pictures of his SHIP that won Best in Space and People’s Choice awards at BrickCon 2009. I love the unique donut-shaped cargo containers. The lack of gaps between the wedges reflects the perfect technique that Jon used to create these shapes. The sand green spine adds a hint of color and the inclusion of two microscale escort fighters completes the setup.
He has been chosen, he must go!
Joel Baker constructed a sculpture of the scene from Toy Story where Sid pulls out Woody and Buzz at the claw crane. Say, if there were no glass, would you still have to pay and use the claw? Check out more views on Joel’s Flickr set.
Super Robot Mazinger Z!
Mark Sandlin (Grand Admiral) is bringing this towering model of the robot Mazinger Z to the Big in Japan display at Brickcon 2010. Modeled after the gigantic Teknomeka frame, the mecha is sure to stand out. Déjà vu anyone?
LEGO at Star Wars Celebration V
Star Wars Celebration V took place last weekend. The video below has an incredible time-lapse footage of the public assembling a 15-foot wide Lego mural along with a good coverage of LEGO’s presence at the event.

The cutest smuggler in the galaxy
Tyler turns up the cute meter with this cuddly little craft. Dubbed the Smuggle Bug, it’s too innocent-looking to get inspected…..tricky, tricky.
Deep Conflict
Chris Malloy just posted this incredible battle at the bottom of the sea. It’s quite a lovely build. The lighting is exceptional.
Castello Rosso
Stephen (busboy489) has chimed in with his entry to the 32×32 challenge at Classic-Castle–aptly named Castello Rosso. I particularly like the angles of the towers on the base, and the inclusion of the dark red to break up the bright red.
Dragon of the Night
The first thing that struck me about this dragon was the neck and torso. Fantastic job there. Cameron G. knocked this one out of the park. He calls this “Midnight Dragon”. I call it freakin’ cool.
Old School Building
This Coalition Gunship by Pierre E Fieschi isn’t old-school in technique, but it definitely is in feel. The aesthetic hearkens me back to those of sci-fi from the 70s. This ship incorporates much of the great surface texture and greebling that we’d see in movies like Star Wars onto a chunky shape. Which brings me to that shape, it’s so chunky, and blocky, it looks great.
It really feels like this ship contains huge thrumming engines, and was built for function, a skin that barely contains the guts that make the ship work.
Blacksmith o’ the Crown
A timber-and-stone, house-and-shop combo is always nifty and being somewhat versed in the dark art myself, I’m partial to blacksmith creations. However, this one by Peter deYeule is especially nice.
