Justin Vaughn captures the opening lines of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower series with a pair of minifigs.
“The Man in Black fled across the desert, and the Gunslinger followed…”
(The post title is a pair of lines from Shakespeare’s King Lear, which inspired the closing line and title of Robert Browning’s poem “Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came,” which in turn inspired Stephen King. Ah, allusion!)
Shannon Young captures the drama of car racing in a micro vignette featuring some pretty crafty mini racers and a clever crowd mosaic. Click on the picture below to learn why Shannon hates car racing so much. That’s right, Shannon is absolutely disgusted by car racing; that’s why he built this creation.
Well, at least Kamino, anyway. Tim Goddard recycles two great microscale Star Wars vehicles we hadn’t featured here before into a new vignette showing the intense battle between Jango Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi:
Castle builder Piotr Lewandowski has recreated several iconic scenes from the Star Wars universe as Castle vignettes.
Here’s “Duel of Mates” (inspired by “Duel of the Fates” between Qui-Gon Gin and Darth Maul in Episode I):

In Rocko‘s desert landscape there stands a fortress defended by a band of people known as … (wait for it) … Calrissians:
Click the pic for Flickr, or check out lots more in Rocko’s Brickshelf gallery, where you’ll find the usual jokes and Easter eggs.
Not content to take a crack at just one world religion, Rocko takes on at least one more with his trademark irreverence, reminding everyone, “When the Rapture comes, don’t forget your monkey.”
No matter your religious affiliation, you gotta admire the sun, the floating figs, and sense of perspective from the microscale buildings below.
Harrison, aka “Corran101”, recently posted a sweet vignette, depicting Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay as they reach the summit of Mt. Everest. This deceptively simple scene is packed with details. The figs are pretty awesome, but that rope makes this perfect.
It’s the oldest trick in the book. Simian superhero lures feline antihero in a high-speed chase down a city street. Hero places peel of yellow tropical fruit on the ground. Mayhem and hilarity ensue.
Jordan “SirNadroj” Schwartz puts Monkey Man in a slippery situation with “Monkey Man vs. Black Puma”:
Black Puma and his sweet ride are worth a second look:
Charlie has his Angels…I’ve got my Ninjettes. I think mine would win.
Piotrek kicks off the Indiana Jones contest on Klocki with this great scene from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade:
The umbrella design is not something I’ve seen before, and the birds are wonderful.
