Islands in a Sea of LEGO
Chris Edwards (cjedwards47) recently uploaded photos of his fourth LEGO island, which incorporates something I’ve never seen before in a LEGO creation — dripping water.
The dripping water below the overhanging rock stands out, undoubtedly, but the island has lots more to offer the LEGO visitor. See more photos in the full photoset on Flickr.
Castle Rockenstein rocks the medieval world
Well folks, Rocko‘s at it again. This time the castle is based off of the dynamic Lichtenstein Castle, and he sure depicted the drastic rise of the high tower and captured the sublime.

Wolfpack ... in space!
Combining two classic LEGO themes often results in something really cool. The QRT-39 Arufa Dansei “Alpha Male” fighter by Daniel Drisdelle mashes up the classic LEGO Castle theme Wolfpack with Space.
Windmill by the sea
Brickshelf user 3730 presents a scene with classic castle structures and building techniques; however, the varied topography of this creation really sets it apart from the rest. The footpath that leads from the bottom corner to the top ties everything together nicely.

The siege of Hrothingas castle
Daniel Z takes his castle evolution project and turns it into a full-scale action-blown battle scene for the Battles Contest on Classic Castle. With that I think there’s no need to fight now, the battle is over!

The mid-2009 LEGO sets are now available from The Official LEGO Shop online, including the brand-new LEGO Space Police theme — a theme that has the fingerprints of Mark Stafford and Adam Grabowski all over it.
Two of the smaller sets make it easy to get a couple of the unique new aliens from this theme.
The VTOL police vehicle below includes an alien with four arms.
LEGO Castle fans are sure to shout for delight at the availability of the newest sets, including this massive fortress full of goblin and troll minifigs, along with a couple smaller sets.

He’s got legs!
74louloute is quite the poser, at least with this figure. The combination of unusual joint connections enables this knight, dubbed Sir Hruodland, to strike a rather heroic pose.
I think he’s coming after us, don’t you?
