(Written by William) When it comes to selecting sets by LEGO fan designers, I have a particular build style I like. Namely, I’m big on stalls and stall-like structures. I initially picked up the #19010 LEGO BrickLink Designer Program Hot Shot Carnival game stall when Bricklink was first trying out this whole fan-funded limited series […]Original linkOriginal author: Thita (admin)

Today, the LEGO Group announced two new additions to its LEGO Icons Botanical collection: the #10370 LEGO Icons Poinsettia and the #10340 LEGO Icons Wreath. Indulge yourself or a loved one and capture the essence of fall and winter by building a lovely centerpiece. The #10370 LEGO Icons Poinsettia depicts a ‘Grande Italia’ poinsettia.

Cecilie Fritzvold is no stranger to building Nintendo mascots with LEGO. She brought Mario Kart to brick form long before there was an official license (and revisited it in adorabuild form!) For a recent Smash Bros collab, Cecilie chose her fighter from the constellation of Mario characters:  Rosalina from Super Mario Galaxy. The celestial maiden and adoptive mother of the Lumas became a fan favorite, injecting more sadness and story into the Mario formula. Cecilie perfectly captures Rosalina’s charm in brick form, from the half-covered face to the pre-spin pose with the Star Cursor. The design of Rosalina’s partner, Luma, is equally impressive from just a handful of parts, especially the floppy point made from a cattle horn. While the pair might look sweet, especially in LEGO, don’t underestimate them in the Smash Bros arena or they just might blow you to star bits. The post LEGO Rosalina watches over you...

Keep your Mustangs and your Harley-Davidsons. For me, nothing captures the spirit of the American road like a semi-truck. German LEGO builder Eugen Sellin pays tribute to the American freight truck with a gorgeous diorama that pairs his highly detailed vehicle design with an enormous warehouse. The truck is built in the 9-wide* scale of newer Speed Champion sets, which allows for smooth lines and great detail in both the cab and the freight pallets being pulled (love those Octan cylinders).  The warehouse is just as impressive, elevating a simple box design with wonderful textures, great use of color, an asymmetrical base, and attention to detail from the ventilation units to the papered-over windows. I especially appreciate the care taken to the road and concrete barriers. Even in the face of infrastructural decline, blue-collar workers keep on truckin’.

Building a good LEGO frog can be a challenge, with so many organic shapes, but Maxx Davidson shows how effective some parts can be. Take the surfboard used for both the front and back legs, with the back legs upside-down. The eyes built on a 45-degree angle give this handsome frog a great personality. But as much as I love the frog, the big mushroom competes for my attention. The post He may not be a prince, but this LEGO frog is certainly worthy of the crown appeared first on The Brothers Brick.
