Every once in a while a MOC comes along that is so colossal, so epic, that it's hard to wrap your head around. The Queen Aurora by builder messerneogeo is just such a MOC. When pictures of this started popping up on Flickr I found myself saying "what is this? Is it really that big?" Well, it it might be digital, but that doesn't diminish the truly staggering scale of this and the amount of work that has gone into no only the build, but the presentation. Click through for many more pics, and be prepared to be astonished. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Insects must bee his thing lately, because Takamichi Irie has built several larger insects recently. This crazy-cool flying mantis is the latest addition, and a great one indeed. I must say, there is quite the buzz around this MOC. The wings are a definite highlight, and catch light beautifully with all the translucent colors used. What an awesome LEGO insect! This would be something very cool to hang from a wall. Original linkOriginal author: Nathaniel Stoner

Well, this is a surefire hit. I mean, who doesn't love pizza, and who doesn't love pugs? Add them to LEGO and you've got something that appeals to pretty much everyone. There's also a peanut dude, and my personal favorite Mr. Toast. Crazy Bricks is back with another Kickstarter campaign, and needs your help. Upstanding human (and man who knows how to work a top hat) Guy Himber has a loads of cool stretch goals too, so get over there and show your support! Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Sorry, couldn't help the Total Recall reference. It's just hard for me to not think of that when the subject of mars comes up (you should see my Arnold decompression impersonation). Builder eldeeem shows us the not to distant future with this brilliant (and huge) mars colony diorama. There's lots to love here, but my favorite details are the solar panels (I'm a sucker for the perfect part choice) and that rover looks ready to explore the red planet.

I've always had great respect for builders who build in micro scale. While their builds are (typically) small, the part selection, and piece usage has to be very intentional to convey a specific idea(s) while only taking up a very small space. As an added level of difficulty builder Peter Ilmrud also restricted himself to a specific dimension, in this case an IKEA glass dome. The result is stunning and makes for a beautifil desk decoration. Original linkOriginal author: Philip
