While my personal interest in football is so infinitesimally small it's functionally immeasurable I can appreciate other's interest and enthusiasm for the World Cup. And while I couldn't tell you a single statistic about the current tournament (even if you refer to it as a "tournament" really) I can totally get into this LEGO version of the mascot Zabivaka by builder vir-a-cocha.  Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

The US is currently getting warm, quite warm, and it's going to get warmer. There's a major heatwave building here in the midwest and northeast, with record highs predicted. This of course poses a serious threat, warped and melted bricks. Do not leave your bricks or creations in your car, or they could end up like this melty offering by cmaddison. Oh and you humans out there, drink lots of water, limit outdoor activity and stay inside and play with LEGO. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

This looks like a pretty good plant for my house. For one, thanks to the building skills of Takamichi Irie, it's beautiful. It's also interesting, a moss covered ball of soil with a decorative plant growing out of it. And it's plastic, so I can't kill it. Actually, come to think of it, it's LEGO so it's delicate...it's doomed at my house. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

It's tough being a genius billionaire playboy philanthropist superhero sometimes, and people don't necessarily understand your point of view.  But Pepper Potts certainly did.  In the first couple of Ironman movies, at least.  That's why she came up with this novel gift idea for Tony;  his first-gen arc reactor, on display for all to see.  Didier Burtin has faithfully recreated the advanced piece of technology and heartwarming memento in LEGO form.  Nice!  Original linkOriginal author: El Barto

There's so many moments in our lives that last just a flash. They can be tragic, transformative or just heart warming, but it's just a fleeting moment and it's gone. Those first clumsy and adorable steps of one's child are precisely one of those moments. Not only is this a brilliantly realized and highly detailed interior, it's a moment frozen in time of builder davekaleta's life.

Yes kids, this is how we did the computer thing back in the 90's. Long gone were those lame old 5.75" floppies, we were using the much sleeker 3.5". And we were dealing with MEGABYTES of data. Sierra Games ruled the roost and there was this new thing called the internet (I don't think much came of it). For those that remember back then this MOC by powerpig should be a whole lotta nostalgia (and really slow boot times). Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

When Batman came out in 1989 it was a full week before I got to see it (crunch time on the Ghostbusters attraction at Universal) and by that time I heard all my friends tear it to shreds. I went in with low expectations...and loved it, still do. There are some eye roll moments, but this was the first super hero movie that wasn't just downright silly or bad, and it still holds up. This pivotal scene where Joker tries to poison the residents of Gotham with festive parade floats  (spoilers!) has been gloriously recreated in bricks by builder Cpt. Brick, and I totally love it.

Last year, LEGO released the LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (75187) which was a large scale model of the character and it turned out to be a pretty successful set. It looks like LEGO will continue with that trend of producing larger scale builds and Brickshop.nl has confirmed that there will be a Porg (75230) coming out later this year. Consisting of 811 pieces and retailing for €79.99, LEGO is hoping the adorable furry creature will bring them the same success as it did with BB-8. **Via: Promobricks** The post LEGO Star Wars Porg (75230) Confirmed to be Coming appeared first on The Brick Fan.

The official Twitter accounts for both James Bond and Aston Martin has released more teasers of the mysterious set that they are working with LEGO on. It’s still unsure what they are working on but the most likely guess is the famous Aston Martin DB5 from James Bond which could also include an ejector seat. Stay tuned as there will be more teaser up until the official announcement for the set.
