It's hard to resist the urge to put on some leathers, grab my helmet and hit the trail when I look at this marvelous dirt bike by ianying616. Then I remember I don't have leathers, a helmet (unless you count my stormtrooper helmet, does that count?) or anything resembling a motorcycle. I'll just admire this MOC, it's pretty rad.

One of the concepts of Pokemon is they are "pets" that you collect and care for (and then force to fight each other, go figure). But in my opinion there's actually only a handful that I think I'd enjoy having around. Pets give us companionship and unconditional love, at least that's the point I think. I wouldn't mind having a Pikachu around, they're pretty cool. And my personal favorite is Cubone, I have no idea why. And Eevee, brilliantly built by reticence here, seems like a pleasure to have around. But can you imagine a Mr. Mime hopping on the bed with you to watch TV? I'd be creeped out the whole time. And Magicarp is useless, your argument is invalid. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy
I love the retro-future look of this dashing young lady by builder Kingmarshy. Meet Miss Utopia, pioneer of the future, exploring the solar system with her trusty robotic companion, GD-801. They both look ready for adventure, and for the cover of a classic 50's sci-fi pulp novel or movie poster. Wherever it is, I want to follow that adventure. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy
Builder Zilmrud packs a whole lot of storytelling and callbacks in a very small space. It sort of reminds me of when Genie says "Phenomenal cosmic powers...itty bitty living space". All the major characters are represented here, in a wonderful display built for his wife. Nicely done sir, nicely done. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy
Earlier this year, it was revealed that there was going to be a LEGO Architecture Las Vegas (21047) set but as we know by now, it was delayed due to the tragedy late last year at one of the original hotels in the set. Fast forward eight months and LEGO decided to swap out one of the hotels as well as changing out the box printing and a few pages out of the instruction booklet. There’s no details of the price but counting the parts in the back of the booklet, there are 501 pieces unless I calculated wrong. The contents of the box include five unnumbered bags and the instruction booklet. Instruction Booklet Like with all of the other LEGO Architecture sets, the first few pages talk about the city and the particular buildings that are in the set. Surprisingly, there isn’t that many facts as I would have thought....
