Sounds like it should a horrible mashup of bandwagon themes, but it’s actually one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a while. Nathan Proudlove built this steampunk battle bug for this year’s BrickCon in Seattle. Way to bring it.
Looking forward to seeing it in person.
Yes, I know this picture, by Jason Railton is rather old, but I just found it. It has the best wave technique I’ve ever seen, bar none. Incredible!
Tyler reels in a very cool one, with this elegant creation. I love the smooth contours of this beauty.

Thanel had cats growing up. I had dogs. To counteract his most recent cat-centric post, I give you Pugsly, with random LEGO animals on his head.
Balance has now been restored to the blog. All is well in the LEGO world.
David Pickett (fallentomato) built this pair of lovely creatures he’s named “Piffish and Herbart” during the BrickWorld 2009 Combo Build competition out of the pieces from three sets (8113, 8114 and 8115). I love the coloring and especially that what in other builds might be considered the “wrong” side, in this creation adds visual texture. There’s also the creative incorporation of so many different kinds of pieces.
Apparently the team of monsters fell in love at first sight and have been crushing cities ever since.
As a Wii owner, I’ve been feeling a little bit abandoned lately — no, Nintendo, I don’t want to play yet another incarnation of Wii Sports. And Wii Fit?! Are you kidding me?
These LEGO Pikmin creations by Filip Felberg (also on Flickr) made me smile, though, thinking back to those happy weeks in the summer of 2001 when I worked on Pikmin.
Filip has made Dwarf Bulborbs:
…as well as the game’s iconic little creatures:
Check out dozens of Filip’s wonderful LEGO Pikmin creations on Flickr and MOCpages.
With Josie sitting next to me while I eat cheese puffs, I would probably be licked into submission if I didn’t blog Joel Baker‘s adorable pair of dachshunds — one real, one LEGO.

This white whale, fighting a giant squid, by Ryan Rubino is awesome enough to make Captain Ahab blanche.
Thanks for the tip, Nathan Proudlove.
I have nothing useful to say about this lovely little diorama by Yvonne Doyle (YVD). It just makes me smile.

Just when you think you have seen it all, Lino jumps out of nowhere with something new. He is an incredible builder and he doesn’t rest on his laurels. He is constantly trying something new and it’s usually top-notch. This “Battle Bug”, based on the Rhinoceras Beetle, is freakin’ awesome.
By the way, “Battle Bugs” is going to be a theme at BrickCon. Build your own and bring it on!
