LEGO has just released the designer video for the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes The Hulkbuster: Ultron Edition (76105) which comes a few weeks after the set became available. I still don’t understand why LEGO is releasing the videos after the set are already available and not the day of or before. The video features LEGO designers Justin Ramsden and Adam Corbally who talk about some of the features of the set. The Hulkbuster is available again on Shop@Home after being on backstock for a few days after its release a few weeks ago. Now is a good time to pick it up if you’ve been waiting on it because of the double VIP points promotion that’s currently going on.

Some of the younger generation don’t know that LEGO started out as a wooden toy company before they transitioned into the LEGO bricks we know today. To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the LEGO brick, JK Brickworks has built his own version of the classic wooden duck using modern bricks and he has also provided the building instructions including the parts list consisting of a moderate 377 pieces. If you watch the video below, you can see the duck in motion with the opening and closing mouth feature. Of course, you can also change the colors to your liking.

Note that Hawkeye still hasn’t made an appearance in the trailers or promotional products so I assume he’ll be used similar to how Spider-Man was used in Captain America: Civil War. The movie will premiere in theaters on April 27 but you can now pick up the sets on Shop@Home and on Amazon The post Avengers: Infinity War Final Trailer Released appeared first on The Brick Fan.

Sometimes the outcome of the imposition of a set of rules fails to match the original intent.  In these cases, either changing or making exceptions to those rules is the most constructive path forward.Video: Custom LEGO Container Ship MOC rebuild / hull transplant!Original linkOriginal author: theJANG

Alright I am definitely tying my hands a bit too much now.  The collection of non-negotiable requirements I placed on this build forced it into a fairly specific shape & layout that unfortunately could not look good.  Looking at it with the almighty hindsight I actually feel most of it was done right at a high level, with fine details always being debatable.  The problem was all in the constraints.  Without those constraints, though, I'd have a ship in official LEGO style, with the deck level area of the superstructure being 1/2 the height of a minifig, and absolutely no consideration for how figures could potentially get up to the bridge.  I have, in fact, begun to find some of the limits of what can be accomplished with LEGO, with consideration for minifigs, at a reasonable size.  Making everything much bigger would solve all of these issue, but also completely break New...
