The last few years, the inhabitants of LEGO City have been on quite the adventure, exploring the ocean, the arctic, and erupting volcanoes; this year is no exception, as they’re diving deep into the jungle. We picked up a copy of the largest set to explore for ourselves, since we wanted to check out the new pieces (jaguar!), as well as experience the new setting for one of LEGO’s longest running themes. 60161 Jungle Exploration Site has 813 pieces, and retails for $119.99 The box The box itself is standard fare, though we don’t really expect it to live up to special sets like the 21309 Saturn V. It’s got a picture of the set with a generic jungle scene behind. The parts inside are in nine bags, with the instructions and stickers in a separate bag.

Another fine addition to many AFOL's recreations of the new U-Wing from Rogue One. Inthert created his own replica of the Rebel transporter, yet it's still unique compared to other designs.

I've seen many excellent custom LEGO guitars, and I think this instrument by Vitreolum should certainly be on that list. The model speaks for itself, being well-crafted and using simple parts to great effect. Even the shaping of the guitar was accomplished using common elements, while not being too crazy with the curves. Complete with a guitar stand, the only thing missing from this MOC is a case! Though that may have taken up a lot of parts. . . Original linkOriginal author: Nathaniel Stoner

Though dinosaurs may be extinct, their presence is still used to great advantage. Moko took it upon himself to strike fear into the enemies of these soldiers by building them a raptor mech, one that is clearly ready for action. It may be mechanical, but the essence of the powerful spirits of dinosaurs is represented well here. Two pilots, two legs, one larger turret, and no doubt plenty of other combat abilities.
