LEGO Star Wars 40806 Gingerbread AT-AT: a sweet deal for Life Day [Review]

Ever since its first Advent calendar back in 2011, Star Wars has been a regular feature of LEGO’s holiday season offerings. Even so, in the last few years, it’s felt like they’ve been ramping up the Life Day celebrations. We (well, LEGO employees) got to see an extremely limited candy cane X-wing in 2019.

Brilliant brick beagles are barking bad to the bone

Creating a compelling LEGO model with just 30 bricks is tougher than it sounds. @yatkuu is a wiz at making every brick count. There’s so much personality packed into these micro-build dogs hawking black-market bones. Their faces come courtesy of Dots, but it’s the ears and the black bands for eyes/sunglasses that make them come alive.

The “sword saint” Miyamoto Musashi in LEGO

Ever since LEGO transported the Castle theme to medieval Japan in the ’90s, samurai have inspired countless LEGO builds. @artist_davs pays tribute to perhaps the most famous samurai of all, Miyamoto Musashi, in an incredible LEGO vignette that looks more like a museum diorama than a model built from bricks. Musashi, the famous duelist and philosopher, is uses a minifig head and a cloth-covered brick-built body for realistic proportions. 

Musashi’s armor is as impressive as the man himself, incorporating cloth and string. The tatami floor, made from profile bricks laid on their side, is artfully raised a half tile above the floor. If you’re wondering where the kanji scroll comes from, it’s a sticker from the Hanzo vs Genji set and reads “Dragon Head, Snake Tail.” I don’t think that comes from the Book of Five Rings, but it makes sense that Musashi would display it as he was famously fond of playing Overwatch.
