Amazon is currently having very good sales on sets from various LEGO themes including a couple that are at a pretty decent price points for what you get. First is the LEGO City City Square (60097) which is at $135.99. That is 28% off the normal price of $189.99 or $54 off. You do get a lot of cool builds with the set including the tram, LEGO Store as well as the LEGO delivery truck which we rarely see. The next set that I think is a good buy is the LEGO Minecraft The Fortress (21127). It is currently at $67 or 39% off the normal price of $109.99. This brings the price/piece ratio to about $0.07. As with other Minecraft sets, you do get a good amount of parts anyways if you’re just buying it for parts. Finally, we have a couple of LEGO Star Wars sets to help you...

Normally my obsessive nature would freak out about incorrectly attached LEGO bricks. Yet somehow, despite the way LEGO 7 has created the jaws of these sublime simian spacemen, my clutching disorder doesn’t seem to mind. These cheeky chimpanzee’s heads have been created using only a handful of bricks, yet convey a huge amount of character. One transparent dome helmet and stylistic articulated space suit later, and you’ve got yourself a moon monkey. Double that and add a hexapedal all-terrain moon buggy and you have a scene that could illicit a smile from anyone. The post And the monkey flips the switch appeared first on The Brothers Brick.

The Roman war machine was an impressive force in its time and to this day inspires many people, for better or for worse. This time it is for the better, as the Russian LEGO building duo Dmitriy and Anna have created an extremely expressive legionnaire using a relatively limited selection of bricks. There are many simple solutions for complex shapes, like exposed studs as the kneecaps and chin, as well as curved slopes that capture the shape of lorica segmentata perfectly. The warrior’s weapons should not go unnoticed either: while the gladius in its scabbard is not quite perfect, I do not see how it could be done much better, but the pilum and scutum are basically flawless.

Enemy armor slowing you down? Then get ready to pop some tanks with the War Mustang Multi-Purpose Anti-Tank Missle System (try saying that several times real fast) built by Stud Systems. The War Mustang is a lovely and cleverly designed combat vehicle. The coolest detail has to be the poseable missile launcher and guidance system, which conveniently folds down into the roof when not in use.
