Espeon is one of the many evolved forms of Eevee, one of the most popular Pokémon. If you give Eevee a Sun Shard it will evolve into this psychic form. The defining features are its purple fur, red gem, and forked tail. All of which are perfectly represented by this Lego Espeon made by retinence. The overall shape is what really makes it stand out. The gentle curves and angles make for a striking silhouette. Also the light purple pieces really help make it stand out.
The Skeksis are the main villains from the movie The Dark Crystal. They need the Crystal of Truth to retain their immortality. This Lego Skeksis is an immortal MOC created by Hongjun Youn. The model is a great representation of the puppets from the film. They recreate the bird-ish look perfectly. Using only official Lego pieces and no custom bricks. The use of Bionical pieces are a great fit. As is the use of the cloth and linen pieces to help fill out the body. It is really easy to underestimate the volume of this Skeksis, the bad/curved posture makes this thing a lot wider then expected. One really great detail is the staff. Check it out below!
This 2×3 Tile Lego Font is the creation of Milan Sekiz. This Sans Serif is made out of flat plates, and uses some of the newer parts from Lego (such as the Modified 2 x 3 Pentagonal Tile). Not only are the standard english 26 letters included but some basic punctuation and numerals have also been included. Too bad the X is hanging out all by itself, it sounds like it didn’t fit in with the others… poor X.
This great Lego MOC is titled “A family has bought a new TV during the 70s” and is the creation of Johan Alexanderson (Jalex). They ended up using some reference photos to make sure the 1970s feeling was accurate. The end result is uncanny. Especially the old console television; I can just imagine the wooden walnut veneer. The packaging/box is also a stand out detail. It would probably take a whole Lego Minifigure family to move this TV. It also looks like a super reductive version of the famous Vincent van Gogh painting “The Starry Night” hanging on the wall.
“The idea for this creation simply came from memories when I was a kid and the exciting moment when my family came home with a brand new TV.”
The M577 APC, or Armored Personnel Carrier is the perfect vehicle to take to battle against Aliens. This Lego MOC has all the features including Turret, RE700 Rotary Canon, and DSGR Smart Missiles. There is even room for a small Minifigure crew. Nothing can stop this APC, it is explosion and bullet proof, and can roll over all sorts of terrain. Just make sure not to spill acid around it. This vehicle is the creation of Rick Brickham, and is made up of about 750 pieces.
“So long, and thanks for all the fish.” Those famous last words as all of the Dolphins abandoned Earth. A moment made famous by the The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. This Lego MOC depiction is the creation of lego.my.yougo. Showing how much you can do with a few pieces, 40ish it looks like.
I Saw Spider-Man Today, is a Lego MOC by Barthezz Brick. The scene features three huge buildings, a few streets, and a whole lot of details. Everything looks weathered, accomplished by using various misaligned and ill-fitting Lego bricks. Giving the whole setting a very New York feel. Especially the more gritty version from some of the comics. There is a lot going on in this build. If you look carefully you can spot Spider-Man, a Sushi stand, Motorcycle, newsstand, and even a saxophone player. Everything has been brought together by the excellent use of custom decals and stickers. Especially the Coca-Cola sign.
Barthezz Brick has even provided a short story, setting the scene:
“The scultz gang robbed their third bank this week. I chased one of the robbers for three blocks when he tore his money bag on W 37th street. He lost more than half of his loot. I doubted, should i secure the money or should i keep chasing the bloke?
I decided to keep track on the scultz gang member, but then all of a sudden i saw spider-man. He came out of nowhere and webbed the guy in the middle of a busy crossroad. It was amazing!! Finally when the police arrived they arrested that son of a b*tch and took him to the nearest police station.
It was amazing to see my childhood dreams came true. Spider-Man you’re my Hero!”
Welcome to Scoops Ahoy! This delicious ice cream store is a key setting for season 3 of Stranger Things. Steve Harrington and Robin Buckley are instantly recognizable (with the help of some Star Wars minifigure heads, and sailor hats). This Lego Scoops Ahoy is the creation of Eldritchpenguin. Lego has released an official Stranger Things set, but this shows what you can create without those bricks. The only thing missing is an Erica Sinclair Minifigure.
There are so many lego Baby Yoda builds out there, and this is one of the best. This cute little guy was built by hachiroku24. It is completely made out of Lego parts. The key pieces are the ears, which are from a recent Lego Elves set (part 11089). They did make a small cheat, the 2×2 rounds with a hole, near the ears, have been photoshopped to match the rest of Yoda. Below you can see him being built.

According to Cecilie Fritzvold, this is what happens when you play Pokemon Go while driving. They created this humorous Lego MOC as part of an Iron Builder compitition. The challenge piece is the new Modified 2 x 3 Pentagonal Tile, which first started showing up in Nexo Knights sets. They made a convincing tire tread, which is something that would have been hard to do without these tiles. Poor Pikachu.
