Though never seen in any Star Wars movie, white speeder bikes always seemed appropriate for Scout Troopers, perfectly matching their armor. One could almost imagine them patrolling a cold, icy planet like Hoth. This build by James Shields gives us a visual delight as it seems quite simply a natural color for them to be in. A tiny build at only 44 parts, yet with amazing detail, if you like them as much as I do, get your bricks out and start building because instructions and parts can be found over at Rebrickable (also available as a PDF for non LDraw users).

One of the LEGO Speed Champions cars released earlier this year that we overlooked — perhaps distracted by the truly awesome 2016 Ford GT & 1966 Ford GT40 (my favorite Speed Champions set yet) — was 75877 Mercedes-AMG GT3. Before we dig into reviews of the summer 2017 LEGO sets, let’s catch up with this speedy little roadster. The LEGO Mercedes-AMG GT3 retails for $14.99 and includes 196 pieces, including one minifigure. The set’s pieces come in several unnumbered bags, with the sticker sheet loose inside the box.

But like the Bugatti Chiron, the rear headlights are built with techniques that would normally be considered “illegal” in official LEGO sets. The designers of the LEGO Chiron used a red rubber band for purely visual purposes, while the GT3 designers have...

A kampung is the definition of a village in parts of Southeast Asia. Malaysian builder Ng Wen Yeh recreates an astounding and accurate dwelling frequently seen in rural communities, with some inspiration from life and memories of yesteryears. This beautiful build shares a typical day around a family and community life in simpler times. A kampung house is typically built from wooden panels, and the sand green LEGO tiles give it the perfect weathered look. The surrounding area usually has minimalistic needs and is normally built on any available patch of barren sand. The home typically rests on stilts or piles to avoid the decaying effects of weather and rain. What brings this build to life is the actual depiction of a typical day. An assumed matriarch feeding a brood of chickens while neighbouring kids take bike ride to hang out for the day with a game of soccer on muddy...
