Builder and BrickNerd alumni Melan-E not only crafted a brilliant MOC here, she fostered a mood and longing. Who can look at this wonderful bicycle and picnic basket and not feel at least a slight urge to throw some bread and cheese in a basket and hop on the saddle? Check out more pics of this charming creation here. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

This thing better pack a punch in the weapons department, because it's not going to surprise an enemy with a speedy attack. It's a snail mech, from builder ToyForce 120. I like to imagine a battle where a whole slew of mechanical species engage, and while the battle rages these guys slowly make their way in. And just when it seems the battle is lost, quite some time later, these guys creep in and save the day in some unexpected way. Slow and steady wins the war. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

You always knew it was going to be a pretty chill day when you got to the classroom and one of these was sitting in the middle of the room. Well, this type pre-dates my school days, but you get the picture. That's right, when we wanted to see projected moving pictures back in the day we used one of these, and threaded film through it, and it was noisy, and pretty bad, and we loved it. A wonderful does of nostalgia from builder Carlmerriam. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

I will admit I've never really gotten into Ninjago. I have a few sets, and there's been some pretty cool stuff, but overall it doesn't do much for me. I think if there was more awesome models like this one from bricks.life.idea I might be more into it. I mean, a walking (and rolling) battle-ready mechanical temple? Bring it on.

I love a good midi scale model, there's something just so imminently swishable about them. This Y-Wing from Rogue Bantha looks ready to take on the evil galactic empire itself (with gold leader piloting of course). The cockpit of this ship has always been tricky when brick-built, and I've never seen it better done at this scale.
