Here’s a double feature of two creatures by Sean and Steph Mayo (Siercon and Coral). The first is called a serpent fly, which features great use of parts from the 1999 Insectoid theme. The second is a crystal dragon who not only looks angry but also deadly enough to inflict serious damage with those spikes on his back.
Creature creator Tim Goddard (roguebantha_1138) demonstrates that Blacktron are non-discriminatory employers. Which is nice to know.
Those three blind mice. See how they run? According to Barney Main (SlyOwl), one wasn’t quite quick enough. There is a ton of great stuff hidden in plain sight in this photo. The whole presentation of it is just fabulous.
Hong Kong LEGO fan Schfio recently posted a pair of rabbits that are so cute I’m not sure what could be cuter.
Although we welcomed the Year of the Rabbit with our Japanese readers back in January, most of the rest of the world celebrates the Lunar New Year alongside our readers in China. To all our readers in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Xi’an, Taipei, and everywhere else in the Chinese-speaking world, we wish you all 恭喜發財! May the new year bring peace, prosperity, and happiness wherever life takes you.
Has it been international LEGO building weekend or something? I’ve got a whole stack of new and great models popping up in my flickr stream today and I’m not really sure why. So you get a roundup post of Aurore&Aube, Soren Roberts, Anthony Sava, Pete Reid and zachmoe.
Then I don’t want to be right. I’d much rather be building mecha like this one by Rong Yiren. I just finished a mecha of my own, and it doesn’t appeal to me nearly as much as this does. The killer detail? The removable helmet!
If you’ve played Angry Birds as much as I have, you’ll love these renditions by Tsang Yiu Keung. The only thing missing is the Mighty Eagle, but I don’t want to pay an extra 99 cents anyways.

At least this cute little one by Matt Armstrong (monsterbrick). My favorites for sure are Oscar the Grouch and Elmo’s little clam head, but Cookie Monster comes in a close.
Why in the world am I not camped outside Matt’s house waiting for the next great creation?
Or, to expand a bit, Dreamwork’s How To Train Your Dragon. Which is, of course, based on a book. Aren’t most things?
Anyway, The Boneknapper. Taylor Bagg‘s rendition looks frightening, detailed, and quite lovely.
….Iain Heath’s “Tastes like Zebra”! The contest was grueling and the entries were hysterical. The judges were judgmental and the winner loathes minifigs. All in all, it was a great contest!
Congratulations to Iain and many thanks to all who entered. It really was a lot fun to watch and it was the easiest contest I’ve ran in many years. Mime On!
Dave Shaddix lets the viewer control the action with Peace is Bad for Business. But we all know that squiddie controls the action.
