Welcome to the wild, whimsical, wonderful world of Salonica from builder Gunman. There's loads of detail in this colorful and imaginative diorama, I highly recommend clicking through to explore the larger images. Measuring in at 144 x 144 studs it's definitely on the large size, but not so big it's difficult to take in. I especially like the Dragonslayer's Inn, and would like to make a reservation immediately. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

You know, I didn't see Cars 3, and I haven't seen Planes, so I'm guessing I'm sorta over the Pixar anthropomorphic vehicle thing. Or at least I thought I was, then I saw this charming duo from builder TFDesigns and I think this need to be a thing. C'mon Disney, we want some interstellar rover action and comedy on a distant planet, or even the moon. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

If you’ve been holding out on getting the 60 Years of the LEGO Brick (40290), your luck has probably ran out. After about four days, the set is now sold out on Shop@Home at least here in the US. The promotion has now been replaced with last month’s LEGO City Dragster with a purchase of $35 or more. As predicted before the promo started, I figured this set would be very popular with the fans as it has a nostalgic vibe to it. There may still be some LEGO Brand Stores that may still have them available so your best chance is to call them up directly and see if they do indeed have them. Other than that, your best bet to get it is on the secondary market which isn’t cheap by any means or if you have some very good friends. The post 60 Years of the LEGO Brick...

If you are a LEGO Black VIP Card holder or flagged account, you may have received an email regarding the first promotion LEGO will be having for members. The offer is basically double VIP points on all LEGO Star Wars purchases through the whole month of February. It’s nothing too spectacular since we already get a couple of Double Point events throughout the year but cardholders do get an extra month to rack up them points. The post LEGO Offering Double VIP Points in February for Black VIP Cardholders appeared first on The Brick Fan. Original linkOriginal author: Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

It's amazing how the addition of some simple lighting can elevate a model. This beautiful clear swan from alanboar is already an eye catcher, and very well done. But building it hollow and including an LED light strip was inspired and as you can see the results take this from eye catcher to show stopper. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

They don't call dogs "man's best friend" for nothing, we've had a special relationship with canines for thousands of years. Some of these dogs take it to the next level, helping humans in their daily life doing important work like law enforcement and safety and guiding the blind. Builder LEGO 7 celebrates some of these hard working good doggies in this charming set of builds. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Meet Brutaxys, he would like to smash you. It's nothing personal you see, it's just sorta, you know,  his "thing". Builder Technean7 brings us this little bundle of rancor, artfully crafted with 90% bionicle and 10% pure, unadulterated fury.  Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

I don't know much about gypsies, but you certainly have to admire their colorful spirit. These wagons by vitreolum are as quirky as they are colorful, and I really like them. I don't think I could live in one, but it would be a nice place to spend an evening and enjoy a campfire and some music. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

The ability of humans to build really big things never ceases to amaze me. I think if I saw this colossal Caterpillar digger in person I'd be intimidated by it, maybe even afraid. No less impressive is this equally colossal brick-built version by Konajra. And not only is it a faithful scale reproduction, you can work at night since it's fully lit!
