Lego Super Mario Theme Announced On MAR10 Day!

Lego Super Mario Theme Announced On MAR10 Day!

“It’s a me, Lego Mario!”

It’s MAR10 Day (March 10th), a celebration of everything Mario related. For the event Nintendo is pushing coupons and discounts on various Mario video games and products. But the surprising news is from Lego, they have announced an official Lego Super Mario theme coming soon. Not a lot of details are available, other than the announcement teaser. The short video shows off what looks like the famous Mario Mario in some sort of Lego form. Clearly not a Minifigure. It looks like a whole new type of figure. Judging by the mostly standard Lego arms, the body is much shorter and wider than normal. Perched on top is an almost square head. Not unlike the Minecraft theme, but with even less in common with the Minifig. It is also unclear if this will be a normal theme in the Classic system, or something closer to the Duplo system. Let us hope that Lego and Nintendo don’t forget about the best Mario brother… Luigi!

Stay tuned for more, and check out the Lego Super Mario announcement below (or here)!

Classic Space Pirates Are Plundering The Moon

Lego Classic Space Pirates On The Moon

“ARRRR! The Space Pirates are here to plunder yer moon treasures.”

This Classic Space Pirates Lego MOC is a creation by captainsmog. Built as an entry into the MOC Wars 2020, category 23, Thar Be Pirates. The goal is to take any of the Lego themes and add pirates. The scene features an innocent Spaceman being hunted down by a small group of space pirates. The star of the build is the space ship. (Or is it a land space ship?) The six wheel vessel is manned by the four meanest pirates this side of Luna. Being lead into battle by a mean skeleton spaceman figurehead. The classic blue and yellow design is a perfect fit and makes everything feel old. Perfect for a pirate theme. What kind of treasure could they be hunting for? Maybe the are on a quest for the fabled moon cheese.

Having A Lego Melt Down Over Ice Cream

Lego Melt Down Over Ice Cream

Dropping an ice cream cone can quickly lead to some extreme emotions. This Lego “Melt Down” MOC is the creation of ForlornEmpire. Built as an entry to the MOC Wars 2020, for Category 13: I’m Melting. The scene has been captured well, you can almost hear the screaming in person. In a weird way, the best detail are the tears running down the face. The eyebrows are also well done. Using two different lego elements really emphasizes the extreme emotion. This girl must be careful or she will melt right down that storm drain. The whole scene reminds me of those Garbage Pail Kids cards from the 1980s.

A Mysterious Figure Approaches The Group

A Mysterious Figure Approaches

There is that moment in fantasy, when the adrenaline is running high, and a group has to decide: “Can we trust you?” Generally the answer is no. There is nothing more dangerous than an unknown person crashing your party. Do they want help, a place to stay the night, are they a messenger, what do they want? This Lego MOC is called “A mysterious figure approaches…” and is the creation of Mark of Falworth. There are a lot of small details to take in. The palm tree places this scene in a coastal area. It is a great lego palm tree with more brown 1×1 slopes than you can count. Also check out the uneven stonework in the ruins, and the curve of the terrain created with stacked plates. This is a great lego scene that brings a lot of story telling potential with it.

Staying Dry With This Lego Elf Retreat

Lego Elf Retreat

This Lego Elf Retreat is the creation of Inthert. It was built as an entry into the MOC Wars 2020, in the Armless category. Which meant the scene had to feature weapons that were not being used as weapons. With that in mind you might notice that almost everything in this Elf Retreat is built out of weapons. Check out the guns used for the tree trunk, the axes and rifles used as lumber, and even the quiver full of arrows being used as a stair step. The most inventive use though is in that chair at the lookout spot. The crossbows used for chair legs is inspired. The end result is one of the best looking minifigure scale chairs around. Ultimately, there are seven different types of weapons hidden around. It’s hard to tell if all of these walkways are built to stay out of the purple water because it somehow looks relaxing and poisonous. The lego doors being used for these walkways is also a great detail. Giving a recycling vibe to these elves. It seems very fitting.

A Lego Bento Box Ready For Lunch

Lego Bento Box

A Japanese Bento Box is a great lunch. A bunch of small dishes offering up a variety of flavors. Kind of like the American TV Dinner, except fresh (not frozen) and delicious. This Lego Bento Box is the work of nobu_tary. The whole build is centered around the new Lego Dots theme. At first glance the box looks like any old to go container, but it is actually the carrying/organization case from Dots. You can even spot some of the new dots pieces used inside. Check out the bracelet band in the center. Everything here is an official Lego product. One of the best details is the brown rock pieces being used for the shrimp tempura. It all looks so delicious… maybe I’ll go get some lunch.

The Lego Household Arrival People Introducer Robot

The Lego Household Arrival People Introducer Robot - HAPI

Meet the Household Arrival People Introducer Robot, or HAPI for short. This little lego robot is the creation of Tom Gerardin. It features one of the new Lego Dots, which is a new theme focused on emoji and smiley faces. Normally used for bracelets and accessories. Just goes to show that you can borrow from any Lego theme to make your creations. Standing about as tall as two minifigures with a lot of personality squeezed into its frame. Check out the robot pauldron used for the head, and the minifigure laser guns for the jets on the back. It looks like HAPI might hang out with the Mixels in its spare time.

Chapter 3: The Sin, A Lego Mandalorian MOC

Chapter 3: The Sin, A Lego Mandalorian MOC

“Chapter 3: The Sin” is the latest creation by @ctr_bricks, and is another entry in their series of Lego Mandalorian MOCs. A recent Star Wars theme that has been exploding with creations. The Sin is a highly detailed city scene filled with aliens, bounty hunters, and smugglers. A very bustling street. Here the Mandalorian is on a mission to rescue Baby Yoda. The planet Nevarro has a lava setting, some of which can be seen peaking out between the stones. Check out some of the little details: the lego dice being used for an electronic box, the various space junk littering the scene, and the interesting curtain/doorway design.

The Table Scraps, A Lego Robot Family

The Table Scrap Lego Robot Family

The Table Scrap Robot Family is the creation of Milan Sekiz. Who challenged themselves to created something with a bunch of never-before-used parts. A lot of which ended up being Minifigure accessories. This Lego Robot Family is all decked out in steampunk colors. The brown, gold, and silver work together well and help make these Table Scraps feel like a family. Some of the details of note are the gold rings used for joints, samurai swords for feet, the ray guns for shoulders, and even Batman batarangs for decorative head gear. It almost looks like they put themselves together. I like to imagine this little Lego Robot Family wandering the earth gathering new parts as they are thrown out…
