General Tavarre provides us with a scene that I didn’t know I needed in this LEGO scene, what if a Sandworm of Dune appeared on the barren wilderness of Earth, the home of Mortal Engines. Combining Dune and a Traction City from the Mortal Engines novel series, it creates a wonderful scene as the City trundles onward to it’s demise in the Maw of the Sandworm. What I enjoy in this little vignette is both the colour palette with it’s earthen tones and secondly that it near exclusively uses the smallest pieces affording some great detail from the cobbled together look of the Traction City to the teeth of the gaping maw that is the Sandworm. Scenes like this are always worthwhile taking the time to enjoy the LEGO connections, they give me the inspiration to see what I can create next!

Today, LEGO is announcing a new loyalty program for adults, set for launch in a week on August 21st. LEGO Insiders will not only replace the existing VIP Rewards program, but also merge other LEGO entities like LEGO Ideas and LEGO Life into a single account. This means one username and password to manage, no matter which LEGO service you’re accessing. LEGO has stated their goals as increased ease of access, a lower the barrier to entry into their loyalty program, and benefits that expand beyond those currently offered by the VIP Rewards system. You’ll be able to create a new account using this link, or by scanning designated QR codes at LEGO stores starting on the 21st. Unlike with VIP, where talk of the program was largely contained to the register or their website, expect this new system to be broadly advertised. For those of us already enjoying the VIP...

With so many things to look at in this wonderful build by Kit Nugent, it might be easy to miss the drama unfolding on the steps of this pastoral scene in the forest. While the somewhat blocky trees are stars of this build, I like the little details, like using the underside of plates as roof tiles, and the dappled light filtering through the trees to land on the face of a mysterious woman. Showing the scene at an angle, and filling in the base with black really draws your eyes to the center of the scene.
