Not aurore&aube, whose excellent T-Rex looks like it’s just stepped from the Jurassic onto a modern city street.
(What color is tan on the official LEGO color palette?)
Thanks for the tip, -Disty-!

Cute turtle....few parts.
jens posted an adorable turtle, using the helmet piece from the new LEGO Toy Story set, 7595 Army Men on Patrol.
This little turtle uses only three bricks–I have to say, the helmet is perfect!
This biomechanical centipede will make scrap metal of your resistance
Joseph Kazmo, whom you may remember from his Star Wars advanced alts from way back, is finally building again after a lengthy building hiatus. This biomechanical centipede is the appetizer for a “mechanical fantasy theme that combines Medieval times with technology and wizardry.” I look forward to this theme with eager anticipation.
Something to eat your new Prince of Persia camel
Baal , a new battle bug based on the camel spider by Lino M. I’m not even an arachnophobe and I’m scared.
Avatar Thanator beast built from Bionicle
I suspect I’m the last person on the planet who hasn’t seen Avatar yet (though I’ve never watched James Cameron’s Titanic either). Harvey Cu seems to have caught a showing of the latest epic, resulting in a rather nice Thanator beast:

RT @OchreJelly “@Fredoichi made an amazing shift from super-sharp mecha to adorable cwute animals, in this case, the accursed Twitter Bird…”
Backlog of goodness
Luis Baixinho uploaded a mountain of backlog pictures, and it’s full of greatness. Beyond the sheer coolness of each creation, the great thing is the variety in the types of builds he does. First this Star Trek shuttle . . .
. . . then this great butterfly.
Fantastic range for a single builder.
Happy New Year 2010, Year of the Tiger!
かわいいレゴずき (I Love Cute LEGO) has a great roundup of New Year’s best wishes from our LEGO friends over in Japan, starting with one of their own:
Here are a few more of my favorites.
muntax has built a tiger truck (“寅っく” for a lovely bilingual pun):
Hiro’s tiger burns bright in the forests of the night — or at least in a thicket of bamboo :
Satoru’s tiger bust would look great on any mantle, in any year:
Check out I Love Cute LEGO for the full roundup — click the links in the second half of the post.
Tigers are, of course, the most awesome animal in the Chinese Zodiac. 2010 looks to be a pretty good year.
LEGO entomology
I’m more into etymology than entomology, but I can still appreciate these lovely bugs by Peter Fendrik (pupipupi).
Check out the full photoset on Flickr for shots of the individual bugs in their beautiful black boxes. (This last sentence was brought to you by the letter B.)

Why doesn’t it run away from me?
This life-sized red squirrel by the Vuurzoon family has a puffy tail and looks just like the real critter. Check out the gallery to see more shots of this LEGO creature in its natural environment.
Flaming awesome!
Bright. Colorful. Creative. Life-like. Suntastic. Not quite a loss for words, too many adjectives to describe this cool sculpture, Helios, by David Pickett (fallentomato).
Via The Living Brick. Good catch, OJ!
I like Hippos
These are some pretty awesome Hippos. Tim Goddard hit this one out the park. You should check out the award-winning zoo he built for them as well.
