One of my favorite Nintendo Gamecube games was Luigi’s Mansion. When Mario mysteriously disappears in a haunted house, Luigi comes to his rescue and does some serious ghost busting. Well, that was nearly 20 years ago, and recently Luigi’s Mansion 3 came out, and you can bet I’m going to get it, but I must be patient. You see, at our house we post Christmas wish lists on the fridge around Halloween if not earlier, and if you put anything on the list you can’t buy it for yourself (those are the rules). I’m pretty sure Santa will bring me a copy, but in the mean time I’ll just admire this awesome sculpture by builder and Twitch streamer BrickinNick. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Yellow Castle 375 came out a bit before my time, but it’s beloved by many in the LEGO community. Galaktek spent the year building nine MOCS inspired by the set, ranging from a Japanese castle to a space base, and they’re all fantastic. My favorite ones are the underwater castle, and the forest stronghold. Original linkOriginal author: James Morr

I’ve always had a soft spot for the Pirate Ship…I mean Rebel Blockade Runner..I mean CR90 Corellian Corvette. Yes, this ship started as Han Solo’s ship (albeit with a different cockpit) but after someone noticed a more than passing resemblance to the Eagle from Space 1999 it was decided that it would be reworked and the “pork burger” was born (you know, the Millennium Falcon). Builder Ben Cossy crafted this mini version of the first on-screen ship of the Star Wars saga. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

This is one of those MOCs that made me go “wait, what?” Builder Azurekingfisher has combined colorful snowflakes of mind boggling delicacy, small figures and unbelievable balance to bring us a beautiful mobile sculpture. It makes me a combination of inspired and nervous just looking at it. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Like just about all sports, I’m not into boxing. Watching two people beat each other senseless does nothing for me. But I truly appreciate a good character build, and getting anatomy right at this scale takes some skill. This guy looks like he has the power to flatten another guy, thanks to the building chops of vir-a-cocha. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy
