Lego Jack Sparrow VS. Kraken

Cmaddison’s ’Ello Beastie

Jack Sparrow had to face an epic battle at the end of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest.  The whole film ended with an incredible battle where Jack called upon the Kraken to fight the Pearl. Someone saw this iconic scene and thought; that needs to be in Lego.

That person is Flickr user cmaddison, who created ’Ello Beastie. Can Lego Jack Sparrow survive?

(spoiler: Yes!)

Room With A View Of Paradise

Brickthing’s Room With A View Of Paradise

A Room With A View Of Paradise, created by Flickr user Brickthing, is a perfect example of how some people can take ordinary Lego bricks and put them together in ways that no one expects.

At first glance this is a simple scene of a family room. After looking at this MOC for a while some subtle details stand out. For instance the videogame joystick on the table, the stereo, the aquarium, the sculpture, and the television are all examples of the sheer amount of detail and advanced building skills put into this room.

Just look at that television.

Darkmire Mill

Derfel Cadarn’s Darkmire Mill

“The old mill on the edge of Grim Hollow now stands as a refuge for Lord Owain as he awaits the return of his sister who brings a tired Taryn and Sarlina with her. The once fast flowing river that powered the wheel has now become all but a small slow stream.”

Darkmire Mill is probably the best Lego mill I have ever seen, and I have seen many. Every detail in the scene has been perfectly placed. The waterfall, the creek bed, the ramshackle mill, the gnarly trees, even the extravagantly detailed base.

Flickr user Derfel Cadarn, is responsible for Darkmire Mill. Interestingly enough, the description states that this is Chapter 1: Grim Hollow, of the Dark Isle Saga.

Lego Superman: Black Zero Escape Reviewed

Plissken’s Superman: Black Zero Escape

With Lego having licenses to both DC Comics and Marvel Comics it means that as every new film based on their comics is released, so too is a new Lego set.

Man of Steel, the new Superman film directed by Zack Snyder, is getting its first Lego set. Superman: Black Zero Escape is just starting to hit stores now, with the first sets showing up in Germany.

Plissken of Eurobricks has posted the first full review. A huge surprise is General Zod’s full combat armor. I have a feeling that this set will become a must buy for any scifi builder out there.

Lego Stress Test


Ever wondered how many times you can assemble two Lego pieces together?

Over at Make: Phillipe Cantin decided to do all the hard work and find out. Check out the video to see the stress test in action. The short answer… 37,112 assemblies. So as you rebuild that Black Seas Barracuda, remember to go slowly… only 37,111 builds until its worth nothing.
