BlizzCon 2018 kicks off tomorrow and attendees will be able to see a LEGO Overwatch statue of D.Va at the event. Both D.Va and her mech consists of 145,276 pieces and weighs 1,256 pounds together and it took LEGO builders 731 hours to construct. It’s assumed that some of the LEGO Overwatch sets will be on display at BlizzCon but we’ve already seen images of the set from my previous article from last week. Which set are you looking forward to getting? The post LEGO Overwatch D.Va Statue at BlizzCon 2018 appeared first on The Brick Fan. Original linkOriginal author: Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

It’s here, Nerdvember is here! It’s time to break out the Nerdly instructions and get the creative juices flowing for BrickNerd’s annual building contest! We want you to build our mascot Nerdly, but not just any Nerdly, we want to see you get creative with him. The theme this year is Video Games. Everything from the glorious first days of Pong to the incredibly popular Fortnite, and chunky 8-bit to millions of polys. We want you to find inspiration in all the wonderful pixel-based-time-wasters of the last four decades. Yes, it’s been over forty years of blips and boops and sore thumbs, and who knows how many thousands of games. We think you’ll agree there’s a whole lot to inspire some amazing creations and you have a whole month to build. Just join the official Flickr group, blow on the cartridge, grab a joystick and start building, you have until midnight...

I will admit that when I heard there was going to be a modern Wonder Woman movie I was skeptical, especially considering the track record of DC movies (I’m looking at your Batman Vs Superman) but I was very pleasantly surprised by Gal Gadot’s portrayal and Patty Jenkin’s direction (can we PLEASE get some more female directors Hollywood?) There’s still a soft spot in my heart for Linda Carter, but this new Wonder Woman kicks some serious butt. And this sculpture of her by builder manufacturajarema kicks an equal amount of said butt.

It’s finally here, October 31st, Halloween! We’re not planning much here at BrickNerd headquarters, but we have almost 10 pounds of candy, some fun decorations (including zombie flamingos!) and Beetlejuice is on the TV. Everyone have a spooky and safe day out there! Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

This lovely little cottage by builder Full Plate looks right out of the pages of a classic fairytale. With it’s picture perfect setting and rustic charm it’s very welcoming. And while the overall MOC is fantastic, that thatched roof is the stand-out feature. It’s a huge investment in bars and clips, but you’ll have to agree it’s worth it.

Meet Sena Cross, pirate. She’s got a treasure chest, two flint locks and has had about enough of your crap. Builder vitreolum needed a break from all the micro scale building he’s been cranking out lately, but not from pirates, so he crafted this little lady. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

This brilliant MOC by dviddy is a modern day spin of the classic Headless Horseman. That is if the horseman was a hipster on a fixie bike wearing a totally cool retro jacket. And he doesn’t so much want to throw his jack-o-lantern head at Ichabod, just wants to let him know it’s organically grown in bespoke divots in a carefully tended pumpkin patch.

I’m not going to make this post about how this isn’t Frankenstein, that’s the doctor, it’s his monster. I’m also not going to insist his name is actually Adam, that’s not technically correct either. In the book he says (yeah, the monster speaks) “I ought to be thy Adam”, but that’s a suggestion the good Doctor ignores. The fact is he has no name, as if being a reanimated collection of corpse parts wasn’t bad enough, the poor guy doesn’t even have a name. What he does have is a loyal fan following, including DOGOD Brick Design, who crafted this wonderful likeness. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy
