Bio-Cup has returned in full force, and the preliminary results have been posted! As always, the contest has drawn out some of the most inventive (and bizarre) creations from the Constraction-building LEGO community. Today, we’ll quickly explore some of the builds that stood out to us. This year’s preliminary theme was simply DREAM, and builders were left free to interpret it however their imagination (or subconscious) saw fit… including nightmares, Bionicle beds, electric sheep, DreamZzz, etc… So fall into REM with us as we take a closer look at some of the entries that caught our eye in this opening round. Sleepless Cathedral of Flesh and Dream Loafbuilds really knocked it out of the park, as usual, delivering a jaw-dropping piece of pure horror that wouldn’t feel out of place in a dark fantasy epic. A grotesque, fleshy mass in the process of tearing out its own skeleton, this build is...

From Princess minidoll playsets to collectible minifigures to 100th anniversary display pieces, Disney and LEGO have built up an impressive catalog of sets referencing blockbusters and deep cuts from the Disney vault. In this delightful scene, titled Mickey’s Library,  builder Candy Bricks arranges dozens of uniquely Disney elements in a cozy tribute to the House of the Mouse. It’s fun to see little bigger tableaus for Snow White and Beauty and the Beast, as well as subtler tributes, like Aladdin’s carpet integrated into the floor by the fireplace. Looks like Mickey even stuffed and mounted one of those troublesome brooms from his Apprentice days to hang above the hearth! How many references can you find?

2025 is turning out to be a banner year for LEGO dragons, with sets like 31161 Medieval Dragon,71847 Guardian Dragon, and 10375 Toothless, but our favorite dragons are the ones hatched up by brilliant builders like FS Leinad here. This MOC on a rock pulls big personality from surprisingly few parts. Folded wings and a curved neck made from simple arches and plates pair with Bionicle forearms. The scene-stealing NPU (nice parts usage) is the dragon’s face, brilliantly made from robot arms tucked inside an Atlantean squid warrior head piece. Excellent use of verticality makes this 12×12 vignette seem much larger than the footprint would suggest. The dragon has the knight on his back, but the big lizard looks more curious than murderous. I hope these two work things out without resorting to violence. FS Leinad built this “Encounter” as an early entry into the 2025 Summer Joust, which runs through...

When Toothless first showed up in 2010’s How to Train Your Dragon, the injured Night Fury dragon instantly stole the heart of Viking teen Hiccup as well as audiences worldwide. Over a trio of animated films, multiple TV series, and now a live-action remake, Toothless has continued to charm (and incinerate) everything in his path. Now Toothless is ready to come home in a new form with LEGO Icons 10375 How to Train Your Dragon: Toothless. Branded for 18+ and designed more for display than play, this version of Toothless looks a little different from his on-screen counterpart, with chibi proportions and no rider. Does the dragon’s loveable personality come through and is it fun to build? How to Train Your Dragon: Toothless contains 784 pieces and will be available July 1, 2025. You can pre-order now for US $69.99 | CAN $89.99 | UK £59.99. July 1, after which point it may also be available...
