Read MoreIn our first installment, I looked at pianos from LEGO Friends sets. In this installment, I analyze EVERYTHING else, from minifigures to keytars to Ideas and beyond. And after building some seventy LEGO pianos, I had to try my hand at creating my own…

Read MoreIf you have noticed the internet being overrun by LEGO bonsai trees as of late, it is for good reason. Brickset’s Build a Bonsai Competition is churning out some amazing entries (all because of the goats for a prize, I’m sure!), and Carter Witz is throwing his hat into the ring. His elegant bonsai would look at home on the neatest desk, but there’s more to this creation than meets the eye!
Read MoreYou would need 30 copies of LEGO’s newest Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer set to even come close to the 140,000 pieces in this nine-foot-long behemoth. Builder Garry King has really outdone himself this time!
Read MoreIn my last article, I discussed the issue of displaying LEGO sets at a fan convention and the plans I made to create a local MOC-building community to help change the situation. The grand plan was to create a MOC TALK series of small “show-and-tell” sessions, requiring attendees to bring something with them that they have designed and built themselves to talk about and show off. But would it work?
Read MoreMany times, change is born out of irritation. One day, you finally decide to take matters into your own hands and take action to change something for the better. Sometimes that momentum leads to reinvigorating a community-focused AFOL blog when other LEGO community-oriented content seemed to have fallen by the wayside. In my case, I became frustrated seeing the growing number of built LEGO sets being displayed at LEGO conventions. This is my story of how to cultivate a community of LEGO builders that go beyond sets.
Read MoreIt's not easy to write about pain… But I feel it is important to explore an aspect of the LEGO passion that many don't think about. In a series of articles, I will try to tell you about my personal journey expressed through LEGO and explore several topics related to my experiences as an AFOL. … For me, deep down, LEGO is the one thing that feels safe and uncomplicated in a complicated life.
Read MoreI stumbled upon this gem of a dronuary build yesterday and was immediately taken by the aggressive near future military design aesthetic of the humanoid and walker style drones. Squad Sierra is a must-see. Builder ReD M is a master of high-quality sci-fi digital creations, including many that you might have seen during the height of the Hibernia Flickr community craze a few months ago. So it comes as no surprise that the latest build is another gem.
Read MoreOkay, I know this is a fearsome Tiki Shaman who clearly eats every part of a minifigure but the torso, but oh, those toes! Jake aka Mountain Hobbit brings us a cute, well-crafted figure - just the person to threaten your minifigures with when they misbehave.
Read MoreIt’s no secret that I am a huge fan of building LEGO speeder bikes (LSB; a.k.a. flying motorcycles). Sometimes I even host building contests for them on Flickr in the LSB - LEGO Speeder Bikes group. The LSB contest is currently on hiatus, but that hasn’t kept people from building some really awesome speeder bikes in the meantime… and even hosting building challenges of their own! I first noticed Dan Ko (Instagram / Flickr) while adding his recent speeder bike line-up into the photo pool of the Flickr group. Here are two of his builds that really caught my attention:
