A LEGO digital catalog has given a first look at the upcoming LEGO Ideas The Orient Express (21344). There’s no information about the set but we can see that it has a blue color scheme and has two carriages. The official announcement of the set should be coming real soon so stay tuned.

This green and white mech by Red Spacecat has more options than you can shoot a rocket at. Giving me some Solid Snake vibes with those multi-jointed legs, this mech can be outfitted with a variety of weapons to suit any deployment needs. Built to the scale of a fairly uncommon figure from the early days of LEGO System sets. One great part used is the long mast piece more commonly found on ships, but my favorite is the double stack of tank-tread parts used for the massive machine gun rounds. Here’s another photo showing off some of the other weapon options, and with the leg armor removed, you can see even more of the great details used in this model.

When it comes to Star Wars droids, few are as instantly recognizable as the Imperial Viper probe droid. The multi-eyed, multi-armed profile still gives me chills thinking back to the first time we saw it unfolding above the white landscape of Hoth like a mechanical nightmare. Calin has captured the likeness in LEGO masterfully at such a small scale… using a variety of rounded black parts for the eyes, from a train wheel with a red bar in the center, to a tire, and even a helmet or two. The use of angled droid arms is the perfect choice for those spindly claw-tipped limbs. And a pair of fencing foils make for great antennae.

I love it when a great LEGO collaboration comes together! A group of friends built the Pokémon Ultra Beasts and the end result is pure gold. Take Aidan Hayward’s Celesteela, for example. This is one of the dangerous UBs, (that’s Ultra Beasts) high energy readings can be detected coming from both of its huge arms. Benjamin Anderson’s Buzzwole is chock full of bodybuilder attitude. He’s often found flexing in poses that show off his physique; and if I had muscles like that, I’d probably do the same. Petersheikah takes on Guzzlord. His whole mouth cavity glows in the dark, which is pretty cool. Ron Folkers tells us that Katana, which is as thin as paper, is like a sharpened sword, capable of cutting anything. But my personal fave is Xurkitree, built by Care Creations. It sort of reminds of of the Elder Things of Lovecraftian lore. There’s more Ultra Beasts in...

Thomas W had planned a different build for his contribution to a fairy tale collaboration but had to shift gears at the last minute. The result is a happy ending worthy of a fairy tale. This vignette, with its impressive tomes and frog-occupied wishing well, sets the imagination racing with all kinds of storybook adventures. But the real work of art is that glass slipper. There’s a limited number of bricks available in the trans-clear color, but Thomas transformed them into something special anyway, as easy as turning a frog into a prince.
