Stephen King has authored so many unforgettable works about relatable good folk reckoning with true evil, from horror classics like It and The Shining to more grounded works like The Green Mile and Mr. Mercedes. But for many fans (myself included!) King’s masterwork is the Dark Tower cycle, a sprawling fantasy/horror/western epic written over 30 years. I first discovered the book as a teenager, drawn in by the incredible and evocative Michael Whelan illustrations. It was a world I longed to see more of… but sadly, the first movie adaptation was a huge miss. When I saw that Gayle Spiller, the amazing LEGO house masterpiece alum with a maximalist building style, had tackled the Dark Tower in bricks, I knew we were in for a treat, but I wasn’t prepared for such a detailed tribute to King’s universe. Gayle captures the eldritch horror of the tower itself surrounded by the beautiful...

Four years ago, our Alexander reviewed a thoroughly unusual set: a LEGO shoe. That set was among the first of a big push from LEGO into the world of brand tie-ins targeted at more than just AFOLs, and now, we have some more legendary footwear to contend with. This time, we’re shooting some hoops with LEGO Nike 43008 Nike Dunk! And it’s an altogether different vibe to the Adidas Original. With 1,180 pieces, this snazzy sneaker hits the court on July 1 for US $99.99 | CAN $129.99 | UK £89.99. You may also find it on third-party retail sites like eBay or Amazon. Is LEGO’s latest basketball collab a slam dunk? Or are brick fans about to get skunked? Let’s find out! The LEGO Group provided The Brothers Brick with an early copy of this set for review. Providing TBB with products for review guarantees neither coverage nor positive reviews....

The mark of a great character builder is the ability to look at an odd assortment of plastic parts and find personality.  Redverse is one of the best, able to animate life into LEGO characters, whether they’re built from System bricks, Bionicle, or even a DUPLO assist. The inspiration for this construction bot was the DUPLO Bob the Builder Dizzy face in orange, along with Dizzy’s drums as arms.  From there, orange wheels and slopes fill out the primary color, with Redverse adding black and white accents to match Dizzy’s eyes. The cloud of smoke is a puffy delight that offsets the somewhat menacing arm that I’m guessing sprays concrete, not bullets. The post Can the City Core MK-Rotomix fix it?

If you haven’t been following Shannon Sproule, you’ve been missing out on a plethora of delightfully quirky robot builds. Case in point, this Hadal Wanderer minibot that trudges a vast, endless abyss for signs of life. But we don’t have to look too hard for signs of Shannon’s personality, as this build is full of them. From the horse rein eyebrows to the bee hive legs, Shannon always finds unique ways to incorporate the kinds of pieces you might not immediately associate with robotics. For more of Shannon’s special take on sci-fi, check out our archives. The post This robot is the bee’s knees appeared first on The Brothers Brick. Original linkOriginal author: Norm Harper

We all know you can build anything out of LEGO, but the builds we feature do trend towards certain repeated themes; spaceships, mountain sides, sports cars, robots… In other words, hard, solid stuff. That’s why this teddy bear by Simon Küntzel delights us so much. We know it’s not soft. We know it’s a solid chunk of hard plastic. It weighs more than 13 and a half pounds. But, gosh, does it look soft and huggable. Simon has perfectly captured the curves of a plush toy. And it’s no wonder, as Simon devoted 200 hours to the construction.

We just took a look at some stellar spaceships from Ted Andes, but that not all he’s been building lately, and the subjects are so polar opposite it felt right to highlight his work again. In a re-work of a previous build, Ted has made his horse racing derby run smaller. And in perfect form for a smaller build, he’s replaced the horses with adorable tiny dachshunds. If you were at Brickworld Chicago, you might have had a chance to see these hounds race in person. But, if not, check out the video below!

If you were born this century, you may not have much reference for a crash test dummy, but Ben Brickson brings these icons into the 21st Century with brothers Crash and Smash.These builds are loaded with articulation thanks to 20 ball joints per dummy. And that means that, even without faces, we’re able to see a high degree of emotion and connection between the brothers, thanks to their body language. Some superb posing puts Crash right in line with the famous stature, The Thinker. And a handshake shows the full level of trust between weary brothers of a dangerous trade.
