Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them gave us a brilliant look into the world of magical creatures from the Harry Potter universe. One of which we saw was this cute little bowtruckle, one of Newt's tiny companions. Designed by Jonas Kramm, this excellent model of the magical beast is executed perfectly. I can't help but think that bowtruckles and Groot could be distant relatives somehow. Original linkOriginal author: Nathaniel Stoner

When I say "adventure", VW probably isn't the first thing that pops into your head. But for builder Pixel Fox, the terms seem to be synonymous. Here in the states they called the classic VW type 2 camper a Westfalia, and it was primarily used for weekend getaways. But in South Africa, it's known as the Syncro, and it was a go anywhere, do anything adventure mobile. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

It looks like there’s another LEGO video game to look forward to in addition to the rumored The LEGO Ninjago Movie. TT Games has posted a teaser for the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 video game on their Facebook page. The video shows Groot as he is seen in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 so we can assume there might be parts of the movie in the game. At the end of the trailer, we can also see Doctor Stange as well. The full trailer for LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 on May 23 and we can most certainly see more about it during E3 next month.

LEGO set 6772 Alpha Team Cruiser was the second smallest set from the first wave of Alpha Team sets in 2001. The line consisted of 6 different sets and one of the most interesting things about it was that in order to assemble the entire lineup of the Alpha Team, each...

My old pal Thorsten Bonsch continues his series from Elder Scrolls Online with this impressive rendition of a Wayshrine.  As Thor describes in his post, they're basically jump gates, enabling players to travel between them, from region to region.  They vary in design based on the area in which they are built, this one exhibiting Nord architecture.  I particularly like what resemble Viking ship's bows at the gable ends of the roof.  Nice work there, Thor!

Ah, Iron Builder. No event draws out such a selection of high quality builds so quickly as a round of Iron Builder - and a new one has just begun! This month's challenger Grant Davis has just posted his first build with the "balloon" pieces; a lovely, serene scene of a lily-pad on a pond. This is only the first of what I'm sure will be plenty of great builds posted over the next month, and I can't wait to see what else Grant and his opponent come up with as the competition heats up!

A particular LEGO set takes lots of time and planning to get from the development stage to store shelves. During Star Wars Celebration 2017, LEGO Star Wars Senior Art Director and Brand Manager Rob Johnson did a panel to discuss the development process of how a LEGO Star Wars set was created which normally the public doesn’t get to see. Solid Brix Studios was able to attend the exclusive panel and he has posted the whole panel on his channel. If you have some time, I highly suggest checking out the video as it does have some great detail of how a LEGO set is made.

Just following the release of the wonderful Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Tyler Clites has posted a great model of the Milano. I'm still fond of the set released along the original film, but this one is undoubtedly more well-fit to minifigure scale, and it's got some lovely shaping on the edges. To top that all off, Tyler has also made a video sharing some extra details and techniques which went into this build, be sure to check it out! Original linkOriginal author: Kodiak Sanders

(No LEGO elements were harmed in the making of this build) Drip, drip, drip. . . Andreas Lenander made this lovely little piece of art, depicting something that should only happen in a nightmare...your LEGO melting. The dripping effect is executed nicely, and I like how one of the brick's studs has slid down the side. A very creative build! Original linkOriginal author: Nathaniel Stoner
