I've never been about money. As an artist I always find it difficult to put a price on my time, and I've never had ambitions of wealth. I'm just happy making stuff, sharing stuff, and making enough money to keep my family fed and happy. But there are some in the world who see the buckazoids differently, for who the accumulation of wealth is all consuming and the yardstick by way they measure their self worth. Sort of like this guy from builder lummerlander, who may never learn money can't buy you happiness. Don't be like this guy. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

It looks like the cat is out of the bag for the “top secret” LEGO James Bond set that will be coming out soon. The Budapest LEGO Certified Store has posted a pre-order page for the LEGO Creator Aston Martin DB5 (10262) which confirms all of the teasers that LEGO and Aston Martin has been pushing out the past few weeks. It has a release date of August 8 but but I’m assuming that it’ll be the July 18 for the VIP Early Access set. Stay tuned as the official announcement will be coming soon.

If you’ve been holding off on getting the LEGO Star Wars UCS Snowspeeder (75144), Walmart, of all places, currently has it on sale for 20% off and it is going for $159.95. If you’ve been collecting the UCS set, you would know that UCS sets usually don’t go on sale on LEGO Shop@Home so getting any kind of discount on it is a good deal. Even with the Double VIP Points promotion going on Shop@Home right now, the 20% discount is still the better deal and an even greater one for a pretty awesome set. If you haven’t checked out my review of the set, you can read up on it here. The post LEGO Star Wars UCS Snowspeeder (75144) Sale on Walmart appeared first on The Brick Fan.

LEGO has finally revealed a set date for possibly the reveal of the rumored LEGO James Bond Aston Martin DB5 set. According to a Facebook event at the Leicester Square LEGO Brand Store, there is a top secret event being held on July 18 at 10:07am UTC. I’m going to guess that date will indeed be the reveal of the set and could be available for purchase as well since there is a VIP Early Access from July 18-31. If you don’t know about the LEGO Aston Martin DB5, LEGO along with Aston Martin and James Bond’s social media feeds has been doing teasers for the set for the past few weeks.

A nice peaceful river retreat gives this peasant boy a place to rest and find a little serenity before back to being oppressed by someone who received a sword from a watery tart.  This small vignette by David Zambito has some great rock work using official boulder pieces and upside-down boat tiles, but the stand out is the duck, a simple and elegant 5 piece build, with a stud shooter as the body.

Have you ever been accused of "bringing a knife to a gunfight"? Well now you can do both thanks to builder vitreolum. Yes this classic weapon from the video game series Final Fantasy has never made a lick of sense, but no one cares because it's so totally awesome.  Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

During my time in London I took a lot of busses. And while I have a soft spot for the venerable Routemaster, I would have been riding this bus all the time if it existed. It's the R2-D2 bus, a Star Wars reimagining by builder lucbyard. I have to assume that the football hooligans that inevitable congregate on the upper level late at night can be easily ejected like Luke's Lightsaber. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

David Zambito is back with another unique build, adding to the creativity shown on his Flickr photostream. Jungle terrain isn't easy to replicate in LEGO. It'll either be too cluttered, or not have enough overgrowth. I think this terrain has been executed very well, and even went as far as adding a SNOT border around the edges to add to the terrain. The temple is beginning to be swallowed by jungle growth, but not too far that we can't recognize the nice design of the stonework and its layers.  Original linkOriginal author: Nathaniel Stoner

Built for a Rebrick contest, Anthony Wilson has found a way to make Nexo Knights cool (which I didn't think was entirely possible until now). Just look at this sculpture...it's absolute menacing, fun, and creative all at the same time. (Didn't think that was possible either.) I really like the design of this robotic dinosaur, with a very sleek and efficient concept throughout its design. Even the display base is worth mentioning, which is truly the finishing touch that this model needed. Excellent work! I hope to see more Nexo Knight builds like this in the future.  Original linkOriginal author: Nathaniel Stoner
