LEGO + Maxifig + Leia + golden bikini = Fanboys REJOICE!

Behold, this sculpture by Ryan Wood is truly a wondrous sight:

Just keep telling yourself: you’re a boy, you’re a boy.

I kept myself awake on a recent international flight by watching movies, including — for the very first time — Some Like it Hot. Michael Jasper does justice to Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis with his latest pair of minifig characters.

Roads? Where we’re going we don’t need roads...

Really, is there anything that needs to be said?  It’s by Legohaulic, and it’s everyone’s favorite time-traveling DeLorean.

A T makes us an offer we can’t refuse

Inspired by Alex Eylar and Tim, brilliant young builder AT94 (Flickr) tries his hand at cinematic photography — to great success, I think.

I’m most intrigued by the hood of the car poking into this picture:

Frakking skinjobs!

Just in time for the premiere of the new (theoretically final) season of Battlestar Galactica, Ochre Jelly treats us to a batch of miniland-scale characters from the show, including Six, a toaster, and Baltar:

But my favorite is the cigar-chomping Starbuck:

Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas

Tyler (Legohaulic) made a wonderfully realistic figure of the iconic Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas. This seemingly simple combination of pieces ends up with brilliant results.

This thug’s for you

We haven’t showcased as much Mecha lately, but they’re out there. Check out this one by Nnenn.

The blue bulkiness of it screams out for attention. After getting your attention, it’ll probably drag you into a dark alley and beat the crap out of you. But, hey, I’m sure its nothing personal.

Microscale Howl’s Moving Castle by Horace Cheng

Howl’s Moving Castle is easily my favorite Miyazaki film of the last 10 years or so. I never imagined the enormous castle could be shrunk down to microscale, but Horace Cheng does it with detail to spare.

Mike Psiaki continues to churn out great additions to his Jurassic Park layout.

His latest is actually inspired by 5935 Island Hopper, from the Adventurers “Dino Island” series.
