Naneto has conveniently titled this pair of adorable rodents Cute Overload.
These little guys are naneto’s entries in the 1st LusOlympics, a LEGO contest hosted by two Lusophone (Portuguese-speaking) LEGO fan communities, Comunidade 0937 and LUG Brasil.

Erik Smit shows how its done with this whimsical redeux of Gold Tooth’s Getaway.
By the way, I really like the idea of this sort of challenge, specifically rebuilding a set in whatever fashion each builder prefers. I hope that more groups give this kind of thing a try.
I’ve been having nostalgic interest in old and short-lived themes, so it was nice to see this this Islander chief on his gorilla steed. I especially like how Ed captures the beefiness of the arms and the curve of the knuckles on the gorilla.
Sorry for the image quality, it’s to do with my linking, not with the quality of Ed’s original picture.
Edit (JW): The image link has been fixed.
The minifig in this little dio by Evildead may want to keep running, but I have a dog sitting next to me here who’s willing to take on that two-horned beast.
No, seriously! He barks at them when they come on TV. Anyway, I think this is the first brick-built rhino that I’ve seen. It’s an interesting presentation, too, with just a few tan plates to help add a boundary to the scene.
Thanks for the tip, Bruce!
Lord Dane presents the best minifig-scale xenomorph from the Alien series that I recall seeing.
Exo-Force robot arms, minifig hands, and even flippers add a lot of organic detail to the alien.
Like Dan, I picked up a bug at BrickCon, but unlike him I dont’ have the good sense to avoid blogging while sick.
While (or “whilst,” if I want to be contextually appropriate) BrickCon was the big event on this side of the Atlantic last weekend, builders in the UK geared up quite successfully for The Great Western LEGO Show (Oct 3-4) at the STEAM Museum in Swindon, England. They have a lot to brag about, both individually and collectively, but this sculpture of Bert and Ernie by James Shields (LostCarPark) is what caught my feverish and sentimental eye.
As Ralph Savelsberg said in the comments for the picture “Is anybody our age not a fan of these two?”
Hippotam takes on the evil amphibian menace with his forest wizard and out-of-control, whirly flames!
Juho William serves up this surreal creation. Everything seems to come together perfectly to create a creepy sense of wonder. I’m fascinated and can’t stop looking at it.
Daiman Mardon has an adorable terrier named May-Ling. Well, we assume she’s adorable, given how cute her LEGO alter ego is.
This giant cyborg eyeball by Matt Armstrong (monsterbrick) is just a little bit creepy.
It’s Halloween every day at Matt’s house, so I’m looking forward to him really gearing up for this coming holiday with more great creations like this one. In his case, I’ll forgive the starting holiday decoration and building two months in advance. Especially since he might have this thing attack me.
Nothing, it’s lovely, as is this Shaun the Sheep from “Wallace & Gromit” by Piotr (Pepik), via the Living Brick — welcome back, OJ.
Nearly as cute is Pepik’s Polish “tankette”.
