Here's a mashup that needs to be a thing, Pokemon and mechs. Builder LEGO 7 imagines Pikachu as a mech, and it opens the imagination for an entire world of huge Pokemon inspired mechs. Just think of the battles that will take place, and the new abilities that could be added (I'm betting Magikarp will still be rubbish though). Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

I love movies, always have, and I love going to the movies. There's something so special about the shared experience in a darkened space that you just don't get at home. Of course you also don't usually have to walk on a floor covered with "cinemuck" and have to listen to some jerk on his phone when you watch at home (if you do, you have my sympathy). So this excellent theater by RVA LUG resonates with me. And with the custom lighting, cool posters by none other than Paul Lee and clean, retro look, it's an absolutely awesome creation. Check out the video to see the lighting in action. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Round structures built with square bricks always impress me, but this one also has flat edges that transition to round ones and a slight taper, which sort of blows my admittedly tiny mind. Other details like the roofs,  the color palette and the spooky little swampy forest at the bottom make this a very interesting and lovely bit of castle goodness. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Builder Benjamin Cheh certainly knows how to craft a mech, just look at this thing. Can you imagine spotting this thing coming over the rise on a battlefield? I'm pretty sure I'd soil my jumpsuit. I'd also like to point out that it's mostly black, therefore very difficult to photograph, but these images (and a few more after the jump) turned out awesome.  Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Every once in a while a builder posts something so clever or well done it could be the foundation of a real line from LEGO. This modular road system by builder LEGO 7 could absolutely be developed into a full-fledged theme. I could even see it being a sub-theme of established properties, like Star Wars or Ninjago. It's practically there already, with a cameo by Optimus Prime and Bumblebee. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy
