I was going to wait until the one week mark to post this, but I'm so excited I can't. Check out the prizes from LEGO! This year's theme is "80's" and to celebrate we're giving away three sets from iconic 80's movies, namely Ghostbusters, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. First place is going to get a Ghostbusters HQ, Second place is going to get a Snowspeeder and Third place is going to get a Speederbike! Thank you to LEGO for sponsoring Nerdvember! Check out this post for more details and get building! Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

What do you get when you mashup castle, pirates, space and a yearly need to build a SHIP 100 studs or longer? You get the Lonsaí by W. Navarre, which somehow we missed back in September. But thanks to this lovely photo edit by Mark of Falworth it's back in the spotlight. What an absolutely fantastic, whimsical vessel. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

You know a good signal you're getting old? When furniture and artifacts of your youth start being described as antique (also, when songs from high school are being played on the "oldies" station). I almost scrolled right past this retro interior build by Heksu. I just thought it was a picture of someone's living room from the thumbnail. One of my favorite mistakes to make.

This is the intersection of Nexo Knights and Warhammer, the Deathknight by chubbybots. I think if Nexo Knights had been a little edgier like this it would have caught my imagination a little more than the theme has for me. Not that I have anything against it, it's just a little too cute. I want to see an entire army of these battling, how cool would that be? Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Calin has taken a crack at Rey's rather loud, homemade speeder from the Force Awakens. There have been many models of this particular vehicle, and this is another great addition to the collection we can see online. I particularly like the placement of the net of junk, and the seat area. Zoom zoom!!! Original linkOriginal author: Nathaniel Stoner

A fantastic lineup of microscale, recognizable buildings from our history built by Simon NH. An incredible ancient pyramid temple, using a technique I've never seen before to execute that stacked effect that is so recognizable. Each building focuses on interesting parts usage to get some a small design to look so recognizable. Awesome job! Original linkOriginal author: Nathaniel Stoner

There are some more LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2018 news regarding some of the upcoming movie tie-in sets. According to Sir von Lego on Eurobricks, we will be getting two Black Panther sets and a whopping six for Avengers: Infinity War. We’ve already seen a Black Panther minifigure from the Black Panther Pursuit (76047) from Civil War last year so hopefully we’ll see an updated outfit. We’ll also most likely see a Erik Killmonger minifigure and one for Ulysses Klaue as well. As for the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Infinity War sets, I’m surprised there are that many that tie-in sets. Considering there are a plethora of characters in the movie, I’m sure they will be spread out into all the sets with hopefully no duplicates. Also, since there are six Infinity Gems/Stones, I’m hoping one is included in every set which makes sense. What are you looking forward to seeing...

Way back when Cartoon Network was pretty much on all the time at my house. Luckily for me and my wife back then the content was pretty good. The likes of Dexter's Lab and Samurai Jack kept us as entertained as our young boys. But one of my favorites was Johnny Bravo. The writing, editing and pacing of that show worked so well. This character build by Cha Mi captures his swagger in perfect style. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Here's a mashup that needs to be a thing, Pokemon and mechs. Builder LEGO 7 imagines Pikachu as a mech, and it opens the imagination for an entire world of huge Pokemon inspired mechs. Just think of the battles that will take place, and the new abilities that could be added (I'm betting Magikarp will still be rubbish though). Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

I love movies, always have, and I love going to the movies. There's something so special about the shared experience in a darkened space that you just don't get at home. Of course you also don't usually have to walk on a floor covered with "cinemuck" and have to listen to some jerk on his phone when you watch at home (if you do, you have my sympathy). So this excellent theater by RVA LUG resonates with me. And with the custom lighting, cool posters by none other than Paul Lee and clean, retro look, it's an absolutely awesome creation. Check out the video to see the lighting in action. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy
