I remember them well, out in front of the K-Mart, the rides. They were actually in front of several places here in my home town growing up. You know, those little rides that don't do much, don't cost much and don't seem to be very fun, but we all begged our moms for a quarter so we could ride. Builder LEGOMINDED takes advantage of the new rocket costume collectible minifigure to bring back a bit of nostalgia, and the results are as charming as they are clever.

For those that don't know, the Unaussprechlichen Kulten is a fictional book from Robert E. Howard's short stories, and was later referenced by H.P. Lovecraft, so you know it's got some dark mojo. It was built by Vitreolum as a companion piece to his Necronomicon. That's the beginning of a pretty bleak, but damn cool library. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

We're all familiar with the name Titanic. It's become synonymous with tragedy or failure. But that description couldn't be further from truth with this awesome animated mechanical MOC by builder Bangooh. With a crank of the handle the Titanic sails one again, while the ocean waves swell by. Check out the video to see it in action. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy


He's the best pilot in the resistance, and a hero of the republic, he's Poe Dameron. And builder Takamichi Irie is such a fan he's built his costume. But it's no ordinary cosplay, the helmet, chest box, pistol and many other accessories are all brick-built. It's a Star Wars, costuming and LEGO mashup, and it's pretty awesome.

A reader has emailed me that they have found The LEGO Batman Movie The Mini Batwing (30542) polybag at Target stores. The polybag was originally a LEGO Store and Shop@Home promotion with purchases of $35 or more back in December-January but it looks like Target will now start carrying it as well. I wasn’t told where it was found but I’m assuming it is in the checkout aisles or somewhere near the LEGO section of the store. If you didn’t get a chance to pick it up a few months ago, here’s your second chance. Thanks to Joseph for the heads up.

Robots will eventually be a part of our everyday lives, in some way they are. But as we imbue them with more personality and human like characteristics will it become harder to think of them as hardware? Take this little guy from builder Legoloverman, it's really hard not to feel sorry for him. A robot is a bunch of metal, plastic and circuits, no more "alive" than a Roomba, but I doubt I'd feel anything if one was in this same position. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Builder and BrickNerd alum Melan-E is a huge fan of the game Journey, and to celebrate she has build this gorgeous figure of the main character of the game. I've never played Journey, mainly because I don't have a Playstation. But if I did I have no doubt this would be in my collection, it's totally my kind of game. This beautiful figure has the sweeping lines and curves of the game character, or the flow-ness as Mel puts it, and looks ready to glide over the dunes. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy
