Last month, I ran The LEGO Batman Movie Minifigure Vignette Building Contest and it’s now time to announce the winners of the contest. I’m sorry about the lateness of choosing the winners but I’ve been dealing with other things the past few weeks. I was pretty lenient on how the builds were judged and there were some really creative ones. Since LEGO accidentally sent me another box of minifigures, I’ll also be choosing a few runner up winners, in no particular order. I’ll be contacting the winners to get their shipping details and whatnot through the platform used.

While not entirely compatible with the rain we're experiencing in California at the moment, I'd still love to go cruising in this sweet red hot rod by ianying616. Just look at that beefy styling, that aggressive stance and all that shiny, shiny chrome. Can you just imagine what this baby sounds like? Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Dystopia is everywhere you look these days, online, in movies, on TV and unfortunately in real life. And while everything seems a bit grim these days, at least if things go really south we can all look forward to outfitting our vehicles Mad Max style. Yes, the world will be a free-for-all wasteland, but we'll be screaming around in cool cars like this one from Mark of Falworth, at least until someone shows up with a bigger one.

Today in anticipation of Star Wars: Episode VIII: The Last Jedi coming to home media next week, LEGO and Star Wars has released a new video called LEGO Star Wars: The Last Jedi in 2 Minutes which is basically an abridged version of the movie. In the middle of the video, we get to the scene in Snoke’s throne room and we may have gotten a sneak peek at the rumored set coming later this year tentatively called the same thing or The Throne Room Duel (75216). The set may not look exactly the same way but it’s assumed that it’ll look somewhat similar. For the play features of the set, it is said that it has a revolving elevator and another feature that drags Rey to the throne and the minifigures will include Snoke, Rey, Kylo Ren, and a couple of Praetorian Guards. Check out the video below. The post...

Feast your eyes on the NCS greebly goodness that is hhcBrick's Long Range Scout. It's got all the hallmarks of neo classic space, classic blue and light grey, yellow canopies, bumble-bee stripes and fantastic retro style design. But the real jaw dropper on this craft is when you flip it over. Proper greebs should look functional as well as complicated, not just a bunch of stuff attached, this is how it's done!

One of the best things about building competitions is the smack talk and creative use of MOCs to intimidate as well as impress. During the finale of the ABS Builder Challenge, Mark of Falworth wanted to illustrate his trophy shelf still has space for one more, and what better way to do it than with this brilliant little interior.

As the 60th anniversary of the brick continues we're seeing so many great tributes to LEGO and our favorite sets. This micro scale Seacow from builder Travis Brickle captures a staggering amount of detail and nuance in a tiny little build. He even included the double decker sofa, Captain Metalbeard and a Micro Manager, brilliant! Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

According to builder rsmbricks this is his first spaceship since the mid 80's, and after a thirty some odd year break, it's quite the comeback. While a little unconventional even for neo classic space, there's a chunkiness and quirkiness I sorta dig about this. And of course it's Benny's, so it's flown with extreme enthusiasm.

I've always been fascinated by the Technic Control Center. It came out during my reluctant dim age, when I was struggling to get into the film industry and truly a starving artist. I never got one, I had no money, but I remember ogling at it in the toy store. To tell the truth I'm not even totally sure of it's capabilities. I'm equally fascinated with this micro scale version of the set by builder byStfn. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy
