LEGO has been doing the smaller mech sets for a little bit now and the latest addition is the Batman Mech Armor (76270). The set has 140 pieces and retails for $14.99. As of this post, North America will release the set in August while certain countries have already released it. Minifigure The only minifigure in the set is Batman himself. This version of Batman isn’t new and has been used many times in the past with the classic black suit and the yellow emblem and utility belt. A fabric cape completes his look. He does use the newer style cowl that has the white eyes molded on instead of the headband eyes. His double-sided head shows him with a stern look on one side and an angry look on the other. He has a Batarang as an accessory. Build The only build for the set is the armor mech. Like...

In this house, we love trains and that means we love this LEGO train model by Malik Geldermans. Malik has done a fantastic job capturing the details of a Dutch Railways NS Class 1500 in brick form. And let me tell you, there is not a brick out of place on this model: the circle – circle – square pattern on the bogies; the 1×2 round tile ribs under the sides; and the 1×1 curved slopes beside the doors are all perfect details! Malik has also proven his handiness with all minifig grippers on the pantographs and on the greebles along the chassis. Great building Malik, we can’t wait to see more!

I’ve written a lot of articles about spaceships, castles, and the occasional train, but I’ve never personally done anything like this jaw-dropping piece of LEGO art. Michael Kanemoto says he built this “Dandylion” mask for his son in 250-300 hours of building, making it a truly leonine labor of love. Look at all those gold accent pieces, from the leaves in the mane to the antenna pieces for whiskers. Here’s a side view to demonstrate the true three-dimensional quality of the mask. The “LEGO” keychain, by the way, represents a conservation tag, a reference to efforts to reintroduce the all-but-extinct-but-totally-real white lion, of which fewer than 20 are said to remain in the wild. And lest you think, “Well, TBB, that’s a pretty cool looking build, but it wouldn’t really work as a mask,” here’s a photo of this creation employed by its creator for exactly that purpose.

We’re constantly inspired by the strange creatures, swooshable ships, and epic dioramas shared by LEGO builders each day that instantly grab your attention. Ironically, we nearly missed one of the most impressive builds of the week because it’s so lifelike and mundane that it doesn’t even register as LEGO at all! This retro electrical fan at 1:1 scale is a nearly studless masterpiece from builder ruby_lego that begs the question: “Is it LEGO?” The seed parts are the rare trans blue doors from the Aquanauts Neptune Discovery Lab. Ruby built the cage out of flex tubes from the T-Rex Breakout. To minimize seams, the base is made from an IKEA Byylek lid. The dial utilizes a clock face from Big Ben. Even though the plug and pneumatic tubing power cord is purely cosmetic, the stand hides official LEGO Power Functions so the lifelike fan really works! It’s a powerful piece of...
