Unofficially, LEGO trains occupy the L-gauge in the model train community. And it’s in this scale that the Melbourne LEGO Train Club presented their recreation of the Newport Railway Workshops. With pictures provided by Alexander (narrow_gauge), this stunning creation just made its debut at the AMRA 2023 Model Railway Show in Melbourne, AU this past weekend. The workshops act to maintain and refurbish trains, as it has for well over a century. And MLTC did quite the job shrinking the campus down to minifigure-scale Not only is the scale of this massive group-build quite impressive, it doesn’t hold back on the details, either. Plots of flowers and other plants dot the creation, but come to a head around the central clocktower. Each of the buildings looks carefully planned out, mirror images of others in the same block. And the rolling stock on display is breathtaking! I’m admittedly not a big LEGO...

LEGO builder BrickiboT pays homage to Stephen Spielberg’s Jaws movie and demonstrates why an entire generation was afraid to go into the water. Tough-as-nails shark hunter Quint was responsible for some of the movie’s most memorable scenes. When he slowly scratched his nails across a chalkboard, it simultaneously agonized audiences and cemented one of the most memorable character introductions in movie history. His off-color sea shanties were also kinda endearing but alas this shark-obsessed Ahab of the Spielberg world met a grizzly demise as illustrated in this diorama. Quint was quite the scene-chewer, in fact, but, as fate would have it, Jaws would become quite the (ahem) Quint-chewer. Sorry. I’ll just let myself out.

Did you hear that sonic boom? That was the sound of LEGO unveiling the latest addition to the Icons line-up: the world’s first supersonic airliner, 10318 LEGO® Concorde. Despite having retired from operational service 20 years ago, it has endured as a popular image of luxury air travel. The LEGO set probably won’t fly as fast as the real thing (at least not under its own power), but does feature deployable landing gear, a detailed interior, and of course the ‘droop nose’. With a shade over 2,000 pieces, 10318 LEGO® Concorde will be available from LEGO.com and in stores starting September 7 (with early access September 4 for VIPs) for US $199.99 | CAN $259.99 | UK £169.99. 10318 LEGO® Concorde | 2,083 pieces | Available September 7 (September 4 for VIPs) | US $199.99 | CAN $259.99 | UK £169.99 Here’s what LEGO has to say on the new model:...

I may be late to this but if you’re looking for the LEGO DC Batman 1992 (30653), you may want to check your Walmart stores. After weeks looking for it, it was finally put on shelves recently at my store here in San Diego. I’ve also heard that it has started to show up at other stores across the US as well. It has 40 pieces and retails for $4.97. This Batman minifigure is the exact same one as in the Batman Batcave – Shadow Box (76252). Update: I looked at my receipt on the Walmart app and it links to this page which I believe is the landing page for it.
