@cloudythelegofan, a teen fan of LEGO from Poland, has only recently started sharing pics, but clearly, they are on the fast track to leaving their mark on the hobby. On a footprint of just 6×10 studs, Cloudy delicately assembles a slice of sidewalk that transports you to a miniature world.
Twenty years after its debut, Exo-Force continues to inspire moc creators like WyndGekko who reimagine and expand on the heroes and villains of the robot rebellion. Here Wynd gives a beefy update to Uplink, one of the smaller mecha of Sentai Mountain.
We weren’t on the list to preview the first LEGO x Crocs collab shoes, but based on the reports from those who did, it seems like our feet dodged a bullet there! We’d much rather kick it with this brick built pair from the inimitable Dicken Liu.
LEGO Designer Chris Perron (@ctperron) digs into his Overwatch stash to build a unique mech and spaceship duo.
The Lord of the Rings films are currently celebrating their 25th anniversary (we’re feeling old), and LEGO is marking the occasion with a new set for the beloved theme. LEGO Icons 11373 Sauron’s Helmet is the first helmet set from The Lord of the Rings, and is also the first helmet set to include a Continue reading →
Builder Alanboar Cheung pays tribute to the king of JRPGs with these brilliant LEGO models of the hero Erdrick’s sword and shield from the Dragon Quest games.
While LEGO celebrates 15 years of Ninjago, afols of a certain age remember that this year also marks 25 years since the debut of Bionicle, LEGO’s radical move from bricks that may have saved the company. Even though there hasn’t been a proper Bionicle set in a decade, the spirit of Mata Nui burns strong with a vibrant fan community. Japanese builder gre_midoro is the latest afol to revisit the Bionicle universe with modern interpretations of the Great Spirit Robot and Umarak the Hunter.
Hobbit holes are a tricky proposition for LEGO builders, as being dug into the ground, they’re a test of landscaping as much as architecture. We’ve had two official versions of Bilbo’s hole, but it’s up to fan builds to fill in the rest of the Shire. Kamiel (bricks_4_all) offers up a peaceful hole for an unnamed hobbit that oozes charm.
LEGO designer Frédéric Roland Andre finds inspiration from nature and combines it with a nostalgic twist with a Classic Space and Blacktron pairing.
LEGO bricks are famous for their “clutch power,” which is what makes it possible for builder Sage Summers to assemble a stylish clutch purse that is sturdy enough for a night out.
Ever since appearing on LEGO Masters season 3 with his sister Asiza, Eddie Gooden (@e.b_brixx) has been spreading the message that all are welcome and anyone can be creative with LEGO. While Eddie regularly builds and shares mosaics, habitats, and custom minifig creations, finding time for larger MOCs can be a challenge. When the chance arrived to contribute to an exhibit on historic buildings in his local community of Spokane, Washington, Eddie leapt at the opportunity. We took this opportunity to catch up with Eddie about his minifig-scale recreation of the Spokesman-Review Building and life with LEGO after LEGO Masters.
Building birds at minifig scale is an exercise in efficiency where every element counts. As we’ve seen in official sets and fan creations, it’s possible to create a wide range of bird species when you know which parts to draw on. Croatian builder Brick Ćaća has been on a Western kick of late and found a novel solution to add vultures to his desert landscape using long black hairpieces for their hunched bodies and the effect is uncanny.
