The LEGO Batman Movie The Ultimate Batmobile (70917) is the next set that is on sale for the daily LEGO Black Friday 2018 weekend promotion. It is 30% off the regular price of $139.99 and is now priced $97.99, while supplies last. Unlike the other two sets that had daily specials for them, this set is not listed as one of the sets that will be retiring soon but I have a feeling it may sell out. Regardless, this set is definitely worth the price as it has a lot of play features with it.

According to Blue Builder this is what’s been on her mind the last couple years, and I think we can all relate to some level. Inside my head is a constant battle and noise of wanting to create, needing to provide, compulsion to make those around me happy and entertained and the need to shut the world out. We all have our demons, our light side and dark side, and finding the balance makes us human. And learning to understand and express those feeling, for instance building something this thought provoking and beautiful, is a wonderful way of exploring them. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Where Star Trek shines is in how Gene Roddenberry reflected humanity back through the other races: Vulcans and pure logic, the conflict driven Klingons, the military industrial complex of the Romulans, the greed of the Ferengi, the techno hive zombies that are the Borg.  So many good philosophical questions are explored with each race, but I especially enjoy the Borg. Some Borg themes I see are the meaning of individuality, the good of the many vs the few, the cost of war, and the need for hope. Martin Latta captures a Borg vs the Enterprise D encounter in a small vignette. The shape of Federation vessels is challenging to capture at any scale, but he nails the NCC-1701-D and the repetitive use of grille plates, jumpers, and single studs captures the super greebled Borg cube exterior without overdoing it at this scale. Well done, Mr. Latta, set course for Wolf 359...

I will be the first to say that this month is absolutely flying by, which is weird since I vividly remember how slow the time between Halloween and Christmas passed as a child. We’ve seen a load of awesome MOCs for the contest, but we want to see more, so here’s your reminder there’s only one week left. You better get building! Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

When I see a spectacular futuristic micro metropolis like this one from builder Didier Burtin my first instinct is to build an enclosure, smoke it up, light it carefully and use a real-time motion control setup with a snorkel lens to do some Blade Runner type sleeping flyovers, doesn’t everybody?

While adult me finds the womanizing and chauvinistic overtones a bit unsettling (we’ve come so far, sort of) I’m still a bond fan. And while this piece by JS_Ninjnerd depicts MI6’s most infamous agent as a silhouette, I’m choosing to see him as my personal favorite Bond, Sean Connery. And admit it, the theme song is in your head now huh? It’s in mine, and it’s totally agreeable. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

I was never allowed to take an animal to school, which is one of the things that makes Hogwarts so appealing. Of course you only ever hear about cats, rats, owls and toads, which makes me wonder if dogs are allowed. I think it would really upset my corgis to learn they couldn’t go, I’m pretty sure they’re Potter fans. Speaking of Potter fans, check out this excellent Hedwig by builder DOGOD Brick Design.

I will admit that when I first saw this badass character build by Arkov I thought it was a cool foam craft cosplay. Maybe that means I’ve been spending too much time with my other site Nerds&Makers, but I think it’s because this is a fantastically detailed and proportioned character nicely posed and shot.
