Earlier today, The LEGO Group has announced that they have reached their 100% renewable energy target three years ahead of schedule. After spending about a DKK 6 billion/£700m investment over four years into offshore wind farms, the output from these projects have exceeded the energy use from the LEGO factories, offices, and stores globally. Their latest investment in the Burbo Bank Extension wind farm will provide power for more than 230,000 British households. You can read more about this milestone in the link above.

This thing better pack a punch in the weapons department, because it's not going to surprise an enemy with a speedy attack. It's a snail mech, from builder ToyForce 120. I like to imagine a battle where a whole slew of mechanical species engage, and while the battle rages these guys slowly make their way in. And just when it seems the battle is lost, quite some time later, these guys creep in and save the day in some unexpected way. Slow and steady wins the war. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

You always knew it was going to be a pretty chill day when you got to the classroom and one of these was sitting in the middle of the room. Well, this type pre-dates my school days, but you get the picture. That's right, when we wanted to see projected moving pictures back in the day we used one of these, and threaded film through it, and it was noisy, and pretty bad, and we loved it. A wonderful does of nostalgia from builder Carlmerriam. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

It looks like the official images of the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Thor: Ragnarok sets are now up on LEGO’s servers as they are set to be put on Shop@Home. We had to take down the images from our previous post since they came from unverified sources. It was worth the wait as we also have the box art for the back of the boxes to show off some of the play features of the sets.

I will admit I've never really gotten into Ninjago. I have a few sets, and there's been some pretty cool stuff, but overall it doesn't do much for me. I think if there was more awesome models like this one from bricks.life.idea I might be more into it. I mean, a walking (and rolling) battle-ready mechanical temple? Bring it on.

I love a good midi scale model, there's something just so imminently swishable about them. This Y-Wing from Rogue Bantha looks ready to take on the evil galactic empire itself (with gold leader piloting of course). The cockpit of this ship has always been tricky when brick-built, and I've never seen it better done at this scale.

Fans of World of Warcraft might recognize this iconic weapon by builder Bangooh, the Doomhammer. I think if I was heading into battle I'd want something sharp and stabby, but some warriors prefer a more blunt instrument, something in the smashy smashy category.  Original linkOriginal author: Tommy
