Builder Benjamin Cheh certainly knows how to craft a mech, just look at this thing. Can you imagine spotting this thing coming over the rise on a battlefield? I'm pretty sure I'd soil my jumpsuit. I'd also like to point out that it's mostly black, therefore very difficult to photograph, but these images (and a few more after the jump) turned out awesome.  Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

It’s never too early for Christmas news and it looks like we have a first look at a new LEGO Seasonal Christmas Ornament (5004934). As you can see from the images, it’s a new concept consisting of 66 pieces which includes small builds like a tricycle, race car, a gift, and a couple of minifigures. You also notice that part of the build comes out from the top of the box. That’s because the box itself is the ornament and it doesn’t look like there’s an actual tree build which is disappointing. **Via Bouwsteentjes** The post LEGO Seasonal Christmas Ornament (5004934) appeared first on The Brick Fan.

Every once in a while a builder posts something so clever or well done it could be the foundation of a real line from LEGO. This modular road system by builder LEGO 7 could absolutely be developed into a full-fledged theme. I could even see it being a sub-theme of established properties, like Star Wars or Ninjago. It's practically there already, with a cameo by Optimus Prime and Bumblebee. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

The Galaxy Explorer (and the original space theme for that matter) is a classic. The only evidence you need to see the absolute affection the community has for this craft is the continual homages paid to it. I myself have created one, and I was given one as a gift. And builder ZCerberus has crafted this gorgeous tribute to the venerable ship, carrying on the tradition. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Today America celebrates 241 years of independence. As we do we should all take a moment to reflect on the founding fathers (brilliantly recreated by the talented Legohaulic here) and give thanks that we're a free country, tea is still delicious and silly wigs have gone out of style. Happy July 4th everyone. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

What a coincidence, I was thinking of wearing this exact same outfit to celebrate Independence Day today. Then I remembered that I'm not a cooky conquerer, and that July 4th has nothing to do with vikings (so I'm wearing a shark costume instead, not really). I'll leave this look to One-Eyed Eynar, a fabulous creation by builder lummerlander. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

I had the distinct pleasure of seeing this absolutely charming animated short by Maxime Marion at CineBrick in Portugal last month. I won't waste a lot of time trying to sum it up or describe it, I'll just strongly encourage you to take five and half minutes out of your day and watch this, you won't regret it. Maxime would also like to give a big shout out to Kloou for the mad building chops. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

While I'm no fan of the prequels, that doesn't diminish my appreciation for this MOC by The Steads. Besides, I love a good micro build, especially a Star Wars micro build. And seeing this many N-1 Starfighters in one scene is pretty stunning. Now if we can just keep that little brat from stealing one... Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

I can sorta relate to this unorthodox but absolutely compelling MOC by timofey_tkachev. With the present political climate, continual angst on social media, equipment failure, frustrating clients and a creative dry spell, yeah, I can totally relate to this. I think just about everybody could use a primal skull scream, then carry on. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

When people scoff at Bionicle and Hero Factory about not being "real LEGO" or too limiting, I like to point them to creations like this jaw dropping figure from Moko. While it may not be stacked, studded bricks, it's still LEGO, and it's still an amazing creative tool. This king of the Greek gods looks ready to dispense some thundery judgement.
