We all know you can build anything out of LEGO, but the builds we feature do trend towards certain repeated themes; spaceships, mountain sides, sports cars, robots… In other words, hard, solid stuff. That’s why this teddy bear by Simon Küntzel delights us so much. We know it’s not soft. We know it’s a solid chunk of hard plastic. It weighs more than 13 and a half pounds. But, gosh, does it look soft and huggable. Simon has perfectly captured the curves of a plush toy. And it’s no wonder, as Simon devoted 200 hours to the construction.

We just took a look at some stellar spaceships from Ted Andes, but that not all he’s been building lately, and the subjects are so polar opposite it felt right to highlight his work again. In a re-work of a previous build, Ted has made his horse racing derby run smaller. And in perfect form for a smaller build, he’s replaced the horses with adorable tiny dachshunds. If you were at Brickworld Chicago, you might have had a chance to see these hounds race in person. But, if not, check out the video below!

Amazon has further reduced the price on the LEGO Animal Crossing K.K.’s Concert at the Plaza (77052) and it has now been discounted by 56%. Last week it was at 38% off so it seems that Amazon is trying to get rid of their inventory. The set is now priced at $34.82 which saves you $45 on it. If you purchased it last week, you can check with Amazon customer service to see if they can get you a refund of the difference since it’s been a very short time between the discounts.

If you were born this century, you may not have much reference for a crash test dummy, but Ben Brickson brings these icons into the 21st Century with brothers Crash and Smash.These builds are loaded with articulation thanks to 20 ball joints per dummy. And that means that, even without faces, we’re able to see a high degree of emotion and connection between the brothers, thanks to their body language. Some superb posing puts Crash right in line with the famous stature, The Thinker. And a handshake shows the full level of trust between weary brothers of a dangerous trade.

In a flurry of building on the way to Chicago’s Brickworld, Ted Andes delivered a number of great builds to admire. Let’s start with one of Ted’s signature spaceship styles: small, compact, solid colors with straight lines. Here it comes in true Vic Viper form. And the working land gear are a bonus. We next move to a spaceship made from a pool of parts often used by Ted: Hero Factory. The bubble cockpit surrounded by four blade-wings and exposed engines has a great mechanical feel to it, providing a great contrast to the build above.
