The LEGO Icons Captain Jack Sparrow’s Pirate Ship (10365) was just released yesterday and to go along with it, you could’ve gotten the Captain Jack Sparrow’s Compass (5009609) GWP. Unfortunately it looks like the gift with purchase set is now sold out online but LEGO Brand Stores may still have them. It was supposed to last until September 18 but the GWP is the yellow box packaging which is usually the more limited ones compared to the regular boxed GWPs. If you’re still want to see if stores still have the Black Pearl, I would highly suggest calling them first before heading out there as it is also on backorder status. Even though the ship is on the more expensive side, it seems that it is still popular among fans.

Every scene can teach a lesson, and this scene has taught me not to wonder into deep caves. According to Tkytko, that is where Raus’zod has the Weeping Skull Mausoleum. The scene is full of clever details with great building techniques. And all those details come together to create a rather scary lair. Dead center there’s a nice stacked group of features: a double, curved staircase in front of a mystical gate surrounded by a bone-packed wall. Over to the left, we find a work area with disturbing tools and a fountain of blood. And on the right is a space for studying the dark arts. No doubt this is where Raus’zod sources the evil practices happening here. The post A brilliant lair for the dark arts appeared first on The Brothers Brick.

This build by dicken liu is exactly what I love about the LEGO community. In theater, they call it the “yes, and” principle; you take what you were given and go further. Dicken took the Lego 76968 Tyrannosaurus Rex set and went further…all the way to Godzilla! To look at it, you’d think Dicken had made a career of studying fossilized kaiju. But, of course, Godzilla will never die, so we will never know if the skeleton is accurate. The post Godzilla gets the T-Rex treatment appeared first on The Brothers Brick.

Over the years, we’ve seen builders use all kinds of non-standard LEGO products; brick separators, the sprues that various minifigure accessories come attached to, even empty stick sheets. But Trevor Pearson-Jones is breaking new ground by using this actual LEGO box to create a, well…a box turtle. Trevor has captured the spirit of the LEGO Freestyle sets by crafting a delightfully mismatched creature that still retains plenty of detailed anatomy that calls to mind the real thing. And, just like a real turtle, we’re pretty sure this one can hide in its shell. We just wonder how much disassembly is required to get him in there.

When Slovakian builder brianbrickster first started sharing medieval LEGO creations, the stonework and siege weapons were impressive. Over the years, with skills honed in the trials of Brickscalibur and the Summer Joust, Brian has become a true artist of castle creations. His latest is a breathtaking display of forced perspective. The transition from minifig to microscale is miraculous. The brick-built sky gives the immersive scene the air of a painting. Speaking of paintings, Brian has played with perspective before. Created for 2024’s Summer Joust, here the builder creates a whole world inside the ornate picture frame. Here is another masterpiece of playful perspective where a microscale castle is reframed as a stone sculpture. It’s a beautiful idea, perfectly executed, with incredible detail in the stonework. Brian plays with a mix of scales again with this cozy cottage emerging from a book on a table. The level of detail in the tiny...
