Have a Happy Lego Halloween

It is that time of the year where all the ghosts and ghouls come out and play with Lego. These super cute Lego Halloween decorations are the creation of nobu_tary. These brick built figures are dressed up as a Werewolf and Witch. The details are all well considered. For instance the SNOT style building, which is a Halloween approved acronym. The end result are two very cartoonish Lego figures full of character.

Also included, are a handful of other Halloween builds. Two of the more adorable and simple ghosts are ready to scare any trick-or-treators. The sausage based mouth is ingenious. There is also a huge bat (giving off Batman vibes) and a light-up jack-o-lantern.

Lego Elves: A Friendly New Theme for 2015

There are still two more coming. If you look around you can find preliminary images for all of the these sets, including Box artwork. Check back here for more official artwork as it is revealed.

The new theme will include the following sets:

Aira’s Creative Workshop (41071)

Naida’s Epic Adventure Ship (41073)
Azari & The Magic Bakery (41074)

Naida’s Epic Adventure Ship (41073) will include a sleek ship, a white clam, two gold clams, and a beautiful sail.

The Ultra Violet, a Deadly Lego Friends Mecha

The official Lego Friends sets can be a bit limiting. They are completely rooted in a city theme, with no signs of expanding into the other Lego themes (Pirates, Space, etc.) A great way to work around this is to create your own Lego creations. One of the best features about Lego is just how modular the pieces are, almost every Lego part can be used with another Lego part. Mark Stafford used his imagination and created a sci-fi themed Lego Friends mecha titled the Ultra Violet. The best part of these MOCs is the innovative use of obscure Lego pieces. Check out the pink baskets, lipsticks, telephones, lightsaber beams, and wood panels. Check out the Friends section for more examples of this.

Lego Star Wars Figures by -derjoe-

Flickr user, -derjoe- has been creating these hilarious Lego Star Wars figures for some time. The proportions and basic geometry work surprisingly well. The “Bounty Hunters ‘Executor Meeting’ ” is a great recreation of that famous scene from The Empire Strikes Back. These guys are built in a “Klotzkopf-Style” which roughly means “Block Head” in english. These have recently appeared in a book titled “Build Your Own Galaxy: The Big Unofficial Builder’s Book”

“Look Sir, Droids!” features one of the most famous scenes from Return of the Jedi.

A great built of Han Solo and Chewie.

And, finally a humorous version of Dagobah Luke and Yoda. Ready to hike through a swamp.

The Lego Wizard of Oz, Follow the Lego Brick Road

Siercon and Coral have created a Wizard of Oz Lego scene titled: Follow the Lego Brick Road. The project is part of an Iron Builder competition with Legohaulic (Tyler) where the yellow rounded 1×2 slope must be creatively used. You can spot them in the Yellow Brick Road, the hot air balloon, and the sun. This is an interesting MOC, as it is using a mosaic background and forced perspective to create something similar to a painting. The end result is great. The Lego Wizard of Oz is quickly becoming a popular theme…

Follow the Yellow Slope Road, a Wizard of Oz Lego MOC by Legohaulic (Tyler)

Lego and the Wizard of Oz have seen some great builds before (especially the recent project by VirtuaLUG). The fantastic setting and great characters are a perfect fit for Lego. This vignette, created by Legohaulic (Tyler), is titled: Follow the Yellow Slope Road. The project is part of an Iron Builder challenge to incorporate the yellow 1×2 curved slope into a project. The results here are marvelous. The use of the curved Lego pieces in the background make for a great forced perspective, which gives the illusion that the build is larger then it really is. Dorothy Gale, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion, and Toto look great.

This Toto might be my favorite Lego dog ever built.

First Image of the New Lego Minecraft Micro World: The End (21107)

The first photo of the new Lego Minecraft Micro World: The End (21107) has been revealed. The new set will be available sometime this summer (2014). The set designer, Steen, is showing off the new set. Which will feature the Endermen and an Ender Dragon. This is the forth set in the line, and if Lego were to discontinue the theme this would be the perfect release. Or, maybe there are still other Minecraft Micro Worlds in the works…

I wonder how this set will fit in with the other Minecraft Micro Worlds.

Bricksauria: Tyrannosaurus Rex vs. Stegosaurus

The Bricksauria project is the work of senteosan. So far a Lego Tyrannosaurus Rex and a Lego Stegosaurus have been built. These are great brick built dinosaurs that look like they should be a part of a museum display (or Disneyland). Lego has usually gone the route of giant molds for their dinosaurs, but they lack the detail and building fun that Lego usually contains. These Bricksauria Lego dinosaurs are set in dynamic poses, and just look cool.

Two separate Lego CUUSOO projects have been created based on these two dinos. Check them out here and here. It would be great if Lego created a line of detailed models like these. Something akin to the Lego Architecture series would be perfect.

The T. rex and Stegosaurus have been built digitally using Vray in 3ds Max, then composited in Fusion (with a touch of Photoshop). Probably built this way because a lot of the pieces are rare, and/or not available in the desired colors. The final renders are extremely clean.

Check out these two render videos:
