Robot romantics

What is more romantic than an offering of plant matter? Clearly this robot suitor from Kelly Bartlett is well versed in human courtship rituals. Maybe you or I would have picked the purple flowers and left the dirty roots in the ground, but it’s the thought that counts. Kelly’s bots are a delight  a wordless LEGO comic with big heart.

Give thanks for the ultimate dessert: Baja Blast Pie!

Today is Thanksgiving in the United States, probably the biggest day of the year for pie consumption. Pumpkin and Pecan might be traditional flavors of the fall, but this year Taco Bell really captured the spirit of 2025 with a bold new pie flavor: Baja Blast! Sadly, the pie was only available at the start of the month, so no making a run for the border to save your family dinner. Let’s give thanks to Eli Willsea (via his Morlorn Empire side account) for capturing this memeable moment in LEGO.

Gotta stack ‘em all, Pokémon!

LEGO Masters Germany winner Alex (Brix Tales) has been on a hot streak in recent months, participating in Habitat Challenges with some spectacular stacks that throw convention out the window. For this tribute to the Gameboy era of handheld gaming, Alex frames one familiar habitat with a pixelated explosion of Pokémon characters. All the starters are present and even a pair of Poké Balls make it into the mix. It’s not just a radical reinterpretation of the LEGO habitat stack – it’s one of the best tributes to 8-bit gaming we’ve ever seen in LEGO.

Dancing with dragons and thrones in LEGO

RebelLUG member Kaleb (llego_pig) returns to the Seven Kingdoms with the latest in a series of masterful medieval builds that capture the specificity of George R. R. Martin’s world like few builders can. This time Kaleb’s subject is the Merman’s Court, where Davos Seaworth meets with Wyman Manderly, Lord of the White Harbor. Take a moment to appreciate the murals that adorn the walls. Ornate mosaics have become a fixture in Castle builds, but usually to create geometric patterns. I’m in awe of the way Kaleb weaves a Kraken fighting a whale, kelp, and an undulating tide into the brickwork with minimal gaps. The floor, too, reminiscent of a seabed, is equally impressive.
