Builder nobu_tary named this creation “Japanese elementary school student”, but I can tell you from personal experience as both a student (a long, long time ago) and a father that this face is universal. I saw it on fellow students’ faces, I saw it on kids in London, I saw it on my own boys’ faces here in California. It is a worldwide constant, school sucks (at least sometimes).

For as much as I watched Mr. Rogers Neighborhood as a child I’m surprised how much I’ve forgotten about it. I mean we watched it and Sesame Street all the time, but compared to that show the Land of Make-believe is largely forgotten. I remember Trolly, and vaguely remember the somewhat disturbing puppets, but most of my memories of Mr. Rogers are of him in his pretty normal house, weird huh? Thankfully I have this wonderful MOC by Pepa Quin to jog my memory, and I have a strange compulsion to go watch some classic episodes. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Now this is the kind of transportation I need these days. It’s got high seating, for a good vantage point, and it runs on carrots, which I can afford. Sure it’s a bit lumbering and slow, but my commute is only one mile, and half of it is in the opposite direction. If I could teach this guy to step over the wall I could cut my commute in half! I will probably get some grief from the HOA about keeping it in my back yard, but I think I can handle them. Nice MOC lummerlander. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

As a child I remember having a cute music box with an angel that would come out and dance to a soothing melody. It was a charming item, but I’m sure my childhood self wouldn’t have minded to also have this sick music box by LEGO 7. The animals are just having a blast and there’s soo much energy that I can’t help but rock my head back and forth to the sweet tunes of ACDC. Rock on my little dudes. Rock on.

I love the fun loving attitude and irreverence of this MOC by builder ted @ndes. This rail thin robot doesn’t have a care in the world as the rain comes down. I have to assume that’s because she’s made out of aluminum and stainless steel, metals that don’t rust. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Builder MikeVd is back with a reimagining of classic space set 6985. And what better way to celebrate this iconic set, and contribute to a “box” themed event, than to actually construct the box it came in. All the scenes depicted on the box are little vignettes inside the box, making it a wonderful and whimsical creation. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

I will admit a slight tinge of jealousy to those that got to attend Brickworld Chicago. But don’t cry for me, I was on the Disney Wonder cruising through Alaska while it was going (yeah, boo hoo). Part of that jealousy is because those who attended got to see things like this spectacular creation by builder ‘Ecclesiastes in person, the best way to see LEGO builds in my opinion.

It’s far too early in the morning and I haven’t had nearly enough tea to have my mind so completely blown by a MOC. I knew what this scene by builder Grantmasters was the moment I saw the thumbnail, but just look at the scale of it! I mean Jabba’s throne room in surprising detail in a package about 10 x 14. I also love that the genesis of this creation was the fact that the hat was reminiscent of Jabba, brilliant. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Meet Oswald, Mickey Mouse’s predecessor. Way back when Walt Disney was making cartoons with this little guy, 27 of them to be exact. But then Walt lost the rights to him and was suddenly without a lead character. Well that was then and this is now and Oswald is proudly back at home with Disney. Builder Alex Kelly brought this little version to life, and he looks ready for some antics. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy
