This year marks the 50th anniversary of Steven Spielberg’s Jaws, the movie that ushered in the era of the summer blockbuster and villainized sharks forever. While the back half of the film focuses on the heroes at sea on the Orca, for most of the film, Chief Brody is driving around the seaside village of Amity in his Chevy Blazer.  Builder Robson pays tribute to the film’s other iconic vehicle in a fun diorama of Brody and Hooper confronting Mayor Vaughn about the wisdom of re-opening the beach. Robson’s custom billboard is modeled on the one in the LEGO-made short film “Jaws in a Jiffy” made in support of the LEGO Ideas Jaws set. Robson deftly captures the square-body look of the Blazer featuring the removable back canopy of that era, with custom decals to match the on-screen props. No stranger to tackling Spielberg blockbusters, Robson also made these excellent Jurassic...

Intrepid wildlife photographer Cool Dogs 2.0 captures the elusive classic space Tachikoma on patrol with a red spaceman. This plucky think-tank makes great use of the relatively new inverted clip both for the hands and as wheels on its four legs. I’ve been re-watching Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex lately, and the white background reminds me of the short clips after the credits of each episode that feature a team of Tachikomas having adventures together. The post Tachikoma meets Classic space in this amazing LEGO mashup appeared first on The Brothers Brick. Original linkOriginal author: Daniel

At first glance, this may look like an average Dagobah scene- but what’s average about Dagobah, really? Upon closer inspection, though, LEGO builder extraordinaire Louis of Nutwood presents a darker side of Dagobah. The first clue that something is amiss is the sunken TIE-Fighter panel implying that Luke may have arrived in the Imperial craft, instead of an X-Wing. Luke’s red lightsaber is another clue as well as his black outfit, which he technically doesn’t don until the third movie. So instead of going into the tree of trippy hallucinations and seeing his own face after lobbing off Darth Vader’s head, what abomination does he see in this Dark Side Dagobah? Maybe it’s an eternally yammering Jar-Jar Binks. Or perhaps C-3PO, except with a thick New Jersey accent begging the question, “do you even lift, bro?” I’m well aware that the overlap of the Venn diagram of Star Wars fans who...

“Through the fathomless deeps of space swims this LEGO star turtle Great A’Tuin, bearing on its back the four single-mould elephants who carry on their shoulders the mass of a microscale Discworld. A tiny sun and moon spin around them, on a complicated orbit to induce seasons, so probably nowhere else in the multiverse is it sometimes necessary for an elephant to cock a leg to allow the sun to go past. Exactly why this should be may never be known. Possibly the Creator – that being Jan Woźnica – of this build got bored with all the usual business of nice parts use, AFOLs and studs-not-on-top building, and decided to have a bit of fun for once.” Of course, the above is paraphrased from the late, great Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novel Wyrd Sisters. If you like Discworld as much as I do, be sure to take a look at more...
