It's nice to see a SHIP appear on the scene in a month that's not September, when there's so many the signal to noise ratio makes it hard to feature them. What would not be nice is to discover this beast by builder lysanderchau bearing down on you in open space. Heave to and prepare to be boarded, you're no going to win that fight.

Every morning I go hunting for things to blog. Most of the time it's pretty easy, just refresh the Flickr feed and boom, MOCs galore. These days have been a little sparse, making the job a little tougher. So I find it serendipitous that the thing I find this morning represents finding treasure, it's a Loot Llama from Fortnite by builder reticence. It's today's treasure.

I wish I knew more about trains and could speak with any authority about this black beauty from builder Engineering with ABS. All I can say is it looks powerful, dignified and gorgeous. And it's not just a pretty face, she's got some power thanks to a Power functions driven tender, as well as a L motor in the engine to help the coupling rods and valve gear rotate smoothly. Add in functioning lights and a flickering fire box, and you've got the whole package. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

This one is pretty meta. What do you get when you combine mad building skills with one of the most notorious lines in LEGO's history? You get Jens, The Chief Scientist of the Royal Court of Galidor. Yes, Galidor, a name that will live in infamy, yet I can't take my eyes off this wonderful brick-built version of one of the characters by Ryan Howerter. If you had told me last night "tomorrow you'll blog a Galidor MOC" I would have just laughed, but look at this guy! Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

You've heard the rumors, and now we have photographic proof thanks to builder MinifigNick. Yoda said the dark side was "quicker, easier, more seductive", but he never mentioned anything about chocolate chips! We can't repel flavor of that magnitude!  Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

It’s been two weeks since Avengers: Infinity War was released in theaters and if you’re a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe like me, you’ve probably seen the movie already, maybe more than once. I’ve been asked a few times to compare the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers: Infinity War sets to the movie and that’s what I’ll do in this new series I’m starting on this site simply called Movie to Set Comparison. As we know by now, LEGO usually releases sets depicting scenes for a particular movie and sometimes they aren’t that accurate due to them having only a little bit of source material to go by. What I’ll be doing is watching a certain movie and comparing the sets to see how accurate they are to the film. What better beginning to this series than to compare the LEGO sets to the record-setting Avengers: Infinity War. There are...

Today is the last day for the LEGO Star Wars May the 4th promotions at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home. The main promo here are the double VIP points you get for your purchases, minus the Y-Wing (75181). The UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) is still available and do qualify for double points and since there aren’t that many sales on this set, the points are the best deal you’ll get on it until the next double points event rolls around. Also if you’re a Black VIP card holder, don’t forget to claim your unique code for the Y-Wing Blueprint Poster when you make your purchase.

May the 4th has passed and the set that was released was the LEGO Star Wars UCS Y-Wing Starfighter (75181) and not the rumored Cloud City set but there are some new details of the set coming out of Eurobricks recently. User Paperballpark, who is considered a reliable source of info, has revealed that there is a Cloud City (75222) set coming, most likely in the fall, and it’s a playset similar to the Death Star (75159). They mention that if you “chop the bottom off the Death Star, then add a few platforms and a ship or two,” it’ll be what we could expect in the set. The ships are rumored to be a medium-sized Slave I and a Twin-Pod Cloud Car. As for the play details, it’ll be open like the Death Star and I assume it’ll have different rooms with scenes from Star Wars Episode V: The Empire...

Ok, that's not really the name of this MOC by Pate-keetongu, it's just where my sophomoric, forever 80's brain goes whenever I see a sequel with a "2". The funny part is, while this is a sequel, the original hasn't been posted, we'll just have to wait and see what that is. Anyway, this entire block is chock full of marvelous details, interesting architectural style and irresistible appeal. I want to visit this place. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

The largest set that LEGO has produced is the LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) which comes in at a massive 7,541 pieces while costing a whopping $799.99. I’ve already done an unboxing on it so you can check it out if you want. With today being May the 4th, now is a very good time to finally release this review. First off, let me preface this review by saying sorry for the lateness of the review. My camera image data and part of the review got corrupted on my old laptop a few months ago and I’ve finally had time to rebuild and retype out what I’ve already done in between what was happening with Toys R Us and changing jobs. Things just weren’t going right the past few months. Instruction Manual The manual is thick and heavy coming in over 6 pounds. Yes, I weighed the book on...
