I will always have a soft spot for classic pirates. When I was old enough to finally have some “disposable” income they were new on the market, and I bought a lot of them, emerging from my reluctant dim age. Builder vitreolum is clearly also a fan, this wonderful micro version of 6248 is actually part of a growing series. When will we see my personal favorite, a Black Seas Barracuda?

For the past seven years, Lars has been with LEGO and his most recent position was Senior Global Director of Social Media and Video.

Layered costumes are difficult in real life, not to mention in LEGO elements, but builder Pate-keetongu pulls it off with his usual flair with this lovely creation from his imagination. Grata is a senior exchange student of Kontrabontembi monastery for wizard monks according to Eero’s webpage, and if she’s this impressive as a student, imagine when she’s a full fledged practicer of magic.

Huge news has come out of Target as they have uploaded the official images of the upcoming LEGO Overwatch sets. They were actually fairly hard to get I had to jump through several hoops to get them but they are public and can be easily found through the Target Registry App. There are six sets in the wave, both minifigure scale and brick-built so there’s something for everyone. There are, however, some more or less popular characters that are not included like my main, Lucio. Hopefully there’s another wave so we can at least get the full roster lineup. Tracer vs. Widowmaker (75970) – 129 pieces/$14.99 Contains Tracer, Widowmaker Hanzo vs. Genji (75971)- 197 pieces/$19.99 Contains Hanzo, Genji Dorado Showdown (75972) – 419 pieces/$29.99 Contains Soldier 76, Reaper, McCree D.Va & Reinhardt (75973) – 455 pieces/$39.99 Contains D.Va, Reinhardt Bastion (75974) – 602 pieces/$49.99 Watchpoint: Gibraltar (75975) – 730 pieces/$89.99 Contains...

Here’s a nice surprise that has recently showed up on LEGO’s servers. The new 2018 LEGO Seasonal Reindeer Head Christmas Ornament (5005253) has been uploaded to the servers and that means more than likely the exclusive ornament will be a gift-with-purchase set this holiday season. There are no details on the availability at this time it’s nice to see it return after taking a year off last year. We’ll most likely see how to get it when the December 2018 LEGO Store Calendar comes out in a few week. Below are my reviews of the LEGO Christmas ornaments from the previous years. 2014 Christmas Train (5002813)2015 Christmas Tree (5003083)2016 Toy Soldier (5004420) The post LEGO Seasonal 2018 Reindeer Head Christmas Ornament (5005253) Revealed appeared first on The Brick Fan.

You ever feel like the odds are stacked against you? You know, like when you’re late for a meeting and every light is red? Or when you’re going to pick up a rotisserie chicken at 6PM? Or you buy a MegaMillions ticket when it passes $1 BILLION? Or when you’re a metallically enhanced superhuman with regenerative properties facing down three giant robots bent on your destruction, like the one here depicted by I Scream Clone? Yeah, like that.

Andrew Tershanko has been producing some interesting figure builds this October.  His Angel is one of those builds that you have to look at twice.  First you see a very nice angel as you scroll past it in the Flickr feed, then you go wait what is that part.  And you realize that the whole thing is held together by Vitruvius’ ghost Original linkOriginal author: Michael J

Fortnite continues its dominion over the videogame cultural landscape, with no signs of slowing down. Love it, hate it, or just confused by it all, it has inspired some pretty great MOCs. This rendition of the iconic Loot Llama was made by Pistash, and it’s my favorite brick rendition of it yet. Original linkOriginal author: James Morr

You can almost hear the squeaking, whirling, grinding, and scraping of the construction vehicles below and wonder what they might be working on. Builder Y Akimeshi has built what I consider a cross between the LEGO brand design concepts and the hyper-detailed builds we tend to focus on and to be honest the results are just plain fun.
