Tyler (aka Legohaulic) constructs a mechanical alien robot called the Stingler. When this technology falls into wrong hands, it could mean trouble!

Beirut AT-89 mecha by Adrian Florea
Adrian Florea seems to have cornered the market on unconventional, spiky mecha. In contrast, Adrian’s design for the mecha’s head is beautifully smooth.
Happy New Year 2008 from The Brothers Brick!
I look forward to New Years every year for all the great New Years-themed creations from Japanese LEGO fans. Many of the creations are in the form of New Years cards, or nengajou, which I wrote about back in 2006 (check out the 2007 roundup as well).
For 2008 — the Year of the Rat — our fellow builders across the Pacific have graced us with another batch of wonderful nengajou. Since the word for “rat” and “mouse” is the same in Japanese (ネズミ, pronounced “nezumi”), many of these feature mice.
We’ll get things going with Mumu’s best wishes for 2008:
Izzo presents a rideable mouse:
Kwi Chang uses a line art version of one of his mecha:
Mashikuf gets deliciously cheesy:
Ayucow puts mice in a pizzeria kitchen:
Finally, Maciek Drwięga (who I suspect isn’t Japanese) joins the celebrations with a bit of a bang (via Klocki):
Updates: And one more from suu:
MisaQa joins the fun (a bit belatedly, but worth the wait) with a batch of adorable mice (via Klocki):

Moko’s iron giant
Moko’s been building mecha lately, check out this behemoth, called the Iron Giant. That mohawk is fabulous, and so are all the individual poses, my favorite is this one.
Explora Walker by Mark Stafford
Mark Stafford‘s latest steampunk creation proves that steampunk doesn’t have to be all browns and grays.
Tim Zarki is Bley — and so can you!
The color change from traditional grey to “bley” (bluish grey) may have caused some consternation among LEGO fans at the time, but things seem to have settled down to the point that builders like Tim Zarki (and our very own Nannan) have fully embraced The Bley.
Given the clear militancy of Bley Adherents, a Bley Ascendancy is surely not far off. I for one welcome our new Bley overlords, and as a respected member of the LEGO community, volunteer my services to round up insurgent “AFOLs” to labor in the orbital ABS mines of the Bley Collective.
If you run.... you’ll just die tired.
The SM-80 Arctic Sniper Mech has you in his sights. Take a good look at Tyler‘s newest creation before it decides to pull the trigger.
Evangelion Mass Production Type minifig by Mike Crowley
Mike Crowley wins. He just does. At everything. More specifically, he’s found 7668 Rebel Scout Speeder and promptly created a truly unique minifig using the new helmet. Behold! Eva Mass Prodution Type (from the anime series Evangelion).
Izzo’s shielded mechas
I particularly enjoy when Izzo applies a variation on a theme to his mechas. These battle machines are unique in what looks like a massive armor shield they carry. From left to right, they are named WingBunny, LazorBull, and HippoBlast.
Daddy Longlegs by Cthulthu
Given how most LEGO elements are pretty blocky, creating something that’s truly spindly is a challenge. Making it stand up on its own is nearly impossible. Fedde (aka Cthulthu) proves that it is indeed possible with his “Daddy Longlegs.”
