I personally am enjoying the resurgence of Harry Potter's Wizarding World, I was a big fan of the books, enjoyed the movies and was starting to miss magic in my muggle life. Watching Magical Beasts brought back all those magical feels, and Niffler, brilliantly recreated here in bricks by DOGOD Brick Design, brought a few chuckles. And like all magic, there's usually an element of surprise, like the secrets hidden within this MOC. Click through to reveal all the fun stuff going on here. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

The moment I looked at this excellent little Empire Strikes Back vignette by builder GolPlaysWithLego John Williams' phenomenal score started playing in my head. Then the scene played out in my imagination, and I was 12 again. This is part of the magic of LEGO and Star Wars, they just go together like peanut butter and toast (which is what I was eating when I wrote this, I'm a man-child).

When most people think of battle mechs, they often imagine a huge and clunky war machine made to take a pounding. But Chokolat Shadow envisions something much more agile and graceful but that packs just as much of a punch! Think of this mech as the assassin of mechs! A beautiful, firey, mechanized assassin that is.  Original linkOriginal author: Andrew Eden

When Hogwarts held the Triwizard Tournament the Durmstrang school arrived by boat, magical boat. Builder Swan Dutchman seems to have a little wizard in him too, crafting this tiny boat somewhere around 20 studs in length, but cramming 400 parts into it (not including the water). It's a wonderfully crafted micro scale ship from the wizarding world. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

I have a definite soft spot for classic beetles. I've told the stories before of it being the family car of my childhood and my first car as an adult. Being nothing but round makes it an exceptional challenge in bricks, but builder Everblack was up to that challenge, and this is the result. You can practically hear that flat four chugging huh?

I'm not sure what inspired builder Red2 to build this WWII German Prime Mover, but I'm glad he did. Not that I'm a fan of nazis (they were a bunch of mass-murdering buttheads) but they certainly could invade a country in style huh? This is basically a half-track parade vehicle, for when you want to make a big entrance, but might have to do it over sand. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

The LEGO Ninjago SDCC 2018 panel was pretty exciting for those who attended last month as well as those who were following my live tweets that day. You can now watch most of the panel on YouTube as LEGO has uploaded a majority of what we saw there in person. The panel consisted of LEGO senior designer Michael Svane Knap, Brent Miller, Vincent Tong, Kelly Metzger with Ninjago co-creator Tommy Andreasen hosting. Unlike previous years, the video shows pretty much everything that was shown on the screen, including the clips that we were told not to record, so it’s worth a watch if you have time.
