The Simpsons Family Lego

Lego is getting ready to release an official Simpsons theme next year. There are rumors that the the Collectible Minifigures Series 13 will be entirely Simpsons Minifigs. If you can’t wait until 2014 for these releases then your own imagination can get a jump start on the Simpsons fandom. For instance, Madoruk created The Simpsons Family in the Lego miniland scale. The whole family is pretty well represented. And, the use of mosaic building techniques is a perfect match to the animated style.

The Simpsons Family is the creation of Madoruk, check it out over at Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/madoruk/10477199203/

Double Trouble with the Despicable Me Minions And Lego!

Despicable Me 2 is almost out on DVD/Blu-ray which means that the Minions have been getting in trouble again. Double trouble. Look out, these two have been experimenting with rocketry. Double Trouble, is the creation of Miro78. These Minions look like they use more common Lego pieces then other models. The use of the old(ish) Lego smily brick is perfect, and the red slope is a great tongue. As usual these are a perfect fit with Lego, preserving the goofy Minion personality with a minimum of bricks.

Lego Breaking Bad by Zoran Bosnjak

It has been a few weeks since the series finale of Breaking Bad. The ending has sparked a lot of creativity. Zoran Bosnjak has even created his own mini Lego set based on Breaking Bad. What makes this one stand out is that everything is made up of relatively easy to find pieces. Unlike the Breaking Bad Superlab Playset, which contains a lot of custom bricks. The detail of the lab is great, being instantly recognizable without a whole lot of parts.

This Lego Breaking Bad MOC even comes with a whole lot of minifigs, such as Mike, Gustavo, Saul, Walter, Jesse, and Mike. It looks like there is enough Blue Sky Candy for everyone.

Lego Friends Castle + Superheroes + Orcs = Friendsington Castle

At first glance the Friendsington Castle looks like a normal friendly Lego Friends castle. But, then you notice some of the details such as the Orcs and Troll, or the redecorated Batcave, or even Jack Sparrow. Friendsington Castle is a weird blend of Lego Friends, Superheroes and other Lego themes. There is a certain charm to the madness. Created by fujiia in collaboration with Kloou for the Fana’Briques 2013 expo.

“An ordinary day at Friendsington Castle. Despite the naughty Orcs’ constant attacks, our Friends prefer to develop their artistic senses with little regard for those poor Superheroes.”

One of the most surprising details is under the castle. It looks like the Lego Friends have spent a lot of time redecorating the Batcave. Turning it from a dark and gloomy cave into a bright and clean place for cats. Even Batman’s Tumbler has been completely repainted. Now featuring a green and yellow scheme. Batman is probably less than enthusiastic about these changes, but may be even more upset that Wolverine seems to have found his way into the cave. Superman seems to be without pants, and Spiderman has just gotten a wild hairdo. This is just a sample of the crazy going on here.

Lego Friends: You’re invited to a Pool Party!

It looks like the Lego Friends are having a Pool Party, and you’re invited. The patterns and colors of this MOC are crazy insane. Every single piece has been carefully placed. The pool pavement, the tiled BBQ area, the beautiful trees and greenery, and the curved wall, everything is made out of Lego pieces. Some of the details can almost get lost in the scene. There are a couple of butterflies enjoying their afternoon. A lazy bird perched on the wall. And, a Lego boom box!

Pool Party is the creation of Flickr user eilonwy77. Some of the details have proven so popular that eilonwy77 has posted some quick guides showing how they are created. Specifically, the trees, the curved wall, and the pool deck. Check out the details here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/eilonwy77/7200730436/

Lego Friends: Emma’s Place, A Lovely Modular Building MOC

It turns out that Lego Friends fits into the Lego System very well. It’s success means that this theme will probably be staying around for years. So far, the Friends theme has been offering many unique Lego pieces and exclusive colors. Focusing on pink, purple, blue, and green has made these sets instantly recognizable (for good or bad). There have been a few amazing MOCs (My Own Creation) combining the Friends theme with other Lego themes. Some of the best creations are those involving the Modular Buildings. These super detailed buildings can be described as a sort of “doll house” for the Lego fan.

This Lego Friends themed modular building is called Emma’s Place. This design would fit into the modular buildings very well. Especially the Lego Pet Shop (10218) and the Lego Cafe Corner (10182). Emma’s Place is a single building that combines the the Beauty Parlour, Fashion Design Studio and Karate Class together. The all glass (plastic!) entrance into Emma’s Place is a great design; opening up into a full Beauty Salon.

The second floor features a Fashion Design Studio.

Emma’s Place is topped with a Karate Dojo, where all the friends can attend Karate Class.

Emma’s Place is a great MOC built by Kristel. Who has built many other Friends themed creations. You can find more details over on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kjw010/8993657558/

LegoGenre has featured other Lego Friends themed Modular Buildings, most notably the “Lego Friends: Lovely Hotel, A Wonderful Cafe Corner (10182) Mod” which can be found here.

128k. A Mini Lego Apple Macintosh.

customBRICKS has created this minifigure scale Lego Apple Macintosh. This micro 128k computer is perfectly simple. Every piece has its place, and no Lego piece is superfluous. This little guy is actually a micro version of Chris McVeighs larger Lego Mac “hello.” which can be seen here. I don’t believe the 128k can get any cuter.

A Lego Macintosh. “Hello.”

There are a few iconic computer designs. One of the most recognizable is the original Apple Macintosh, also known as the Macintosh 128k. With its 512 × 342 black and white display happily greeting the world with a friendly “hello.” Chris McVeigh, aka: powerpig, has created one of the most popular Lego MOCs of one of the most popular computers. There are even free instructions available at http://chrismcveigh.com/cm/welcome.html. You can also buy a custom kit based on the 128k Mac. Hopefully the Lego version is a bit cheaper then the original $2,495 price tag.

Would you like some Lego with your cheeseburger & fries?

A Lego cheeseburger has never looked more delicious. With a nice side of Lego fries and a chocolate shake, also made with Lego. There is even some Lego salt and pepper. Yum yum.

Cole Edmonson built this Diner Fare MOC. Nicknaming it “The Lowell Burger.” Check it out over on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/68216038@N05/9729973136/

Maybe You Shouldn’t Touch That

“Two explorers wearing special protective gear approach a glowing green object with some trepidation.”

Maybe You Shouldn’t Touch That, by jjackowski, is an example of what careful planning and heavily controlled lighting can achieve. Wow.
