Just a quick post to show some retro-styled robots by Soren Roberts and Peter Reid.
But was it just an excuse to post this link to Dark Roasted Blend?

TT Games announces LEGO Battles for Nintendo DS, due Summer 2009 [News]
TT Games‘ publisher Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment just announced LEGO Battles for Nintendo DS. The game is due out this summer, and will apparently emphasize building in original themes over the movie-based and comic-inspired adventures of games like LEGO Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Batman.
Check out this graphic of LEGO Pirates in action:
The game will also feature LEGO Castle:
Though the press release didn’t include an image, the game will also allow players to build Space creations.
Here’s a bit more:
LEGO® Battles offers a new kind of “build and battle” LEGO gameplay. Through six distinct story lines, players build their own LEGO bases and battle teams as they engage in over 70 different levels, mixing and matching units to create the ultimate customized LEGO squad. These unique LEGO battles teams see pirate swordsmen fighting side-by-side with wizards and aliens; dragons battling ninjas; and pirate ships launching broadsides against spacecraft and knights! Players can also challenge friends on the battlefield in multiplayer mode through wireless DS multi-card play.
And in case you missed it farther down the page, TT Games is hiring!
Ships of the Voshivo, Inc. fleet
Nnenn may have customized a yellow 2×3 plate to achieve the missile tubes on the battle frigate accompanying this microscale fleet, but I can’t help but like the overall effect:
The colorful cargo on the barge (with various classic stickers) contrasts nicely with the utilitarian design of the armed escort.
Ambush on Mecha Nature Trail
RoninLUG puts out a diorama depicting the ambush of a squad on their way through Mecha Nature Trail. There’s plenty of insurgents buried in the depths of the greenery waiting to strike the unsuspecting caravan. I tried to find them all, but it was like finding Waldo and all of his friends.
Red planet horror
Prepare for an overdose of red as ChiefLUG takes us to the red planet for some horror action. It turns out we’re not the alone (pardon the cliche), and the last band of marines are losing ground at Olympus Mons, surrounded by nasty alien creatures both big and small. Warning: clicking on the pictures will lead you to oversaturation of red.
Don’t pick the flowers
This is the second time this weekend that we’ve shown flowers leading to deadly consesequences. Look at what Megan Rothrock has created – an overly abundant pink diorama with an insect decapitating a poor space explorer who picked the wrong flower. Lesson learned, don’t pick flowers.
Jumper crafts Phobos and Deimos
My latest space creation goes small for SCI-LUG‘s recently ended Small Starfighter contest. Like several of the entrants, I’ve come up with a transforming design that capitalizes on the symmetrical quality of the bubble cockpit to include the third form of an atmospheric flight configuration.
What astonds me the most is the explosive magnitude of the participation in this contest that drew 84 entries. See for yourself in these three pages of well-done creations.
I’s in ur orbit...
…defending ur spacestations.
Ben Jarvis constructed an oddly shaped fighter for SCI-LUG‘s Small Starfighter contest. The ship flies in vertical position, propelled by space turbines. What a crazily cool concept!
New colors of space
Jarek‘s awesome space pirate battleship features a unique blend of purple and black, resulting in a most spectacular build. As a rare and out-of-production color, purple is a sought-after color for its effective color accenting against neutral tones such as black and gray.
Maserati of the Air
Fedde has gone airborne with this magnetically-powered Maserati Airturismo. Smooth lines, open cockpit, and my son’s favorite color…what more could you want?
Taking on the Seething Mass of Slorox 5
The latest installment in Rodney Bistline‘s Space Action Hero series takes our intrepid hero into new dangers. Will he survive? Will he meet an untimely end on Slorox 5?

A very alien starfighter
Dr. X astounds me with his latest very unique alien starfighter. Unlike most spacecrafts, this one actually resembles a living creature with the tentacles and the life-sustaining cockpit.
