The final film in the greatest saga of all time is upon us, and the world is on the edge of its seat. George said way back around 1980 that there were nine films to tell this story, and the 9th one will be out in December. And while I really didn’t care for the prequels, and Last Jedi left me conflicted and a little bitter, I am looking forward to this film. There’s a ton of cool imagery in the trailer (for my full reaction watch this) and this shot, brilliantly recreated by KevFett2011, was especially goosebump inducing.

This is an impressive bit of building from Toltomeja. While technically micro scale it’s pretty colossal, measuring nearly five feet wide and so packed with detail you can stare at it for days. The construction of this sorta blows my mind, and if you want to get a peek at just how complex it truly is click through for a sneak peek at the bottom of it, it’s staggering.

Everyone’s favorite haunted holiday is here, and builders are celebrating all over the world. Everywhere you scroll there’s spookiness, and these hotrods by builder ianying616 are as cool as they are frightening. The big question is who would win? My money is on Batman, you know he has some tricks up his sleeve. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Halloween is in just two days, and things are getting awful scary. But thanks to the mechanical genius of JK Brickworks they’re also getting awful convenient. To celebrate everyone’s favorite sugar-fueled holiday Jason has designed a chocolate dispensing vending machine. Check out the video to see it in action and to go behind the scenes to see how it works! Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

About a year in the making, this incredible rendition of the “pork burger” by Rogue Bantha is at 1/72 scale, and from what I can see looks pretty darn accurate. Yes, there’s two official sets at about this scale (well, quite a bit bigger), and you may have been temporarily confused when you saw this, but this one is hand crafted by a fan, and I’m a fan of that fan.

It’s Sunday, which is classically a day of rest, so as normal I’ll be working (I pretty much work seven days a week, but it’s ok, I choose to). But I do intend to set aside a little time today to continue my exploration of Koholint Island in The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awaking on my Nintendo Switch. Partially because I occasionally have to remind myself to take some down time, and partly because I saw this outrageously cool micro scale build from BrickinNick. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Behold L.S.C., The LEGO Steam Company by builders Brick Rebel and Monstrophonic. This incredible collaboration was built for Lego World Utrecht 2019 and I desperately wish I could have been there to see this wondrous creation in person. There’s so much detail and steamy goodness wherever you look, and interactive powered features. A video is forthcoming and I can’t wait to see it. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

We’ve discussed my exceeding oldnessness on this blog a few times. For instance, I remember when there there as only three channels, and the remote control looked a lot like me, because it was me. I remember lawn darts, pong and Star Wars action figures being “new”. And I remember a time before all these magnetic mediums by builder Cha Mi, and their inevitable demise.

Being October, and especially being a week away from Halloween, scary images are everywhere. Some are from classic stories, some are from books, some are from tradition but the really cool ones are from movies, like this creation from The Shining by builder timofey_tkachev. It’s an iconic moment, when Jack uses an axe as an alternative door knob (r in this case, a brick separator). Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Donovan from Once Upon a Workbench is my kind of nerd. He’s a maker, a good dad and an excellent storyteller. You need to check out his YouTube channel immediately, it’s packed with all kinds of wonderful nerdiness including these life-size LEGO Ninjago golden weapons. While I’ve never been much into Ninjago, I can appreciate it’s appeal, and I can certainly get behind making cool stuff for your kids. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy
