I’m sure that’s the sound Scope’s steam flyers make:

Kevin Blocksidge presents a batch of Victorian crime fighters:
And the heavy artillery:
Jack the Ripper better keep a low profile now that the Steam Squad is on the case!

I seem to have missed a couple cool figs from lego2000/m20xr, but I hope you’ll agree that they were worth the wait.
A pimp to go with his pimpmobile, plus Robin Hood — in Space!
But here’s what I find especially cool — a steampunk security force for one of his floating rocks:
(Check out the funky steampunk jetpack one of them is wearing.)

Still playing catch up. The often blogged Legohaulic has gone on a steampunk building spree lately. He has invented an inventor named Bartholomew Crank. First up is Crank’s personal airship, the Boistrous Maiden. Note the patchy balloon!
And to his mailman, Mr. Basil, Bartholomew Crank built the aptly named Postal Gyro:

What I like about steampunk is that it’s inherently anachronistic — Castlers and Spacers alike can claim the theme and build in it. Most of the recent steampunk LEGO here on The Brothers Brick has been from Spacers, but Classic-Castler marakoeschtra presents two vehicles from the “eccentric inventor” Professor Nutbolt.
First, a “Pitchfork Walker“:
And here’s Nutbolt’s “DragonFly“:

The steampunk bug has taken a huge bite out of Lukas. That’s a good thing.
Here’s his latest, a “steam chimney”:
Now with a bonus floating rock!
But wait, there’s more! Flappters inspired by Miyazaki’s Laputa:

Tubes and pipes? Check. Adventurers minifig? Check. Greebles everywhere? Check. Guages and wheels? Check. Large props to keep the monstrosity airborne? Check. Result? Steampunkilicious!
Classic Spacer James Turley goes all steamy with his “Steam Dart”:

Well, Kevin Heckel (aka Jonesy) may have created the first floating rock, but Kevin Blocksidge (aka Kevoh) has been building them for just about as long (sly nod to Soren).
Here’s Kevoh’s latest floating rock:

I don’t recall who built the first floating rock (commenters, please enlighten me!), but more and more builders are making these really cool little creations. Legohaulic’s presents an excellent rock inhabited by an “eccentric inventor”:
Here’s the inventor’s unique mode of conveyance, parked on a second, smaller rock:

Inspired by anime director Hayao Miyazaki’s masterpiece Laputa: Castle in the Sky, Horace Cheng presents a great set of “flappters” with excellent minifig passengers:
Horace has a fleet of four flappters, so be sure to check out the gallery to see them flying in formation!
And here’s the crew of the air-pirate zeppelin Tigermoth (inspiration for all steampunk airships since):
