It's a mini-me version of 10252, surprisingly offered up as a promotional freebie almost a year after the release of the full-sizer.  It has its issues and has received a lot of criticism, but did I mention that it's a freebie?Video: LEGO Creator Mini Volkswagen Beetle review! 40252"Volkswagen is actually pronounced..." rage intensifies in 3... 2... 1...Original linkOriginal author: theJANG

Don't call it a tugboat, as it may get offended and go off on a long, rant-filled lecture.  This thing came into existence in quite the roundabout way, but at least I'm happy with the end result!Video: Custom LEGO Push Boat MOC ⚓Original linkOriginal author: theJANG

It's an epic battle between the cute little bunny rabbits and the cute little hamsters with magenta noses & smiles.  Such a risque theme for morally conservative The LEGO Group!Video: LEGO Friends Tic-Tac-Toe polybag! ?  vs ? Original linkOriginal author: theJANG

I've dropped a couple previews of this on Instagram and now the full build is complete.  It didn't turn out half bad.  If I did it again, I'd keep the bridge 2 studs narrower, but otherwise it's pretty optimized to maximize the available space.  Now I really want to make another, with a different design!Video: Custom LEGO Container Cargo Ship MOC ?Original linkOriginal author: theJANG

Evidently the Mega Bloks/Construx Halo Heroes series was a commercial success, as they've now extended the idea over to Call of Duty (as well as Monster High), with individually-sould micro action figures with more paint applications & prints than normal.Video: All Mega Construx Call of Duty Series 1 figures reviewedOriginal linkOriginal author: theJANG

...And then there were two!  Of course you know what that means.  We need a race!  Not to worry; for this video I've figured out how to make that happen.Video: LEGO Rail Rider RODd ⏩ Racing train MOCOriginal linkOriginal author: theJANG

Inspiration struck, and with nothing else hogging up the MOC-building table, I was able to go for it immediately.  This is going to be a series of vehicles, each with a distinct color scheme and style (hopefully), in the vein of my old "Hero Factory Racers" lineup.  I think the next one will be yellow & orange, we'll see; it'll depend upon what parts jump out at me first.Video: LEGO Rail Rider Azul - Racing train MOCOriginal linkOriginal author: theJANG

Hey!  Look what showed up on Amazon at non-scalper price... for a few hours :)  Still no sign of it at physical stores in my area.Video: Mega Construx Halo UNSC Fireteam Shadow reviewOriginal linkOriginal author: theJANG

I love it when things go according to plan, even when there isn't so much of a plan as a nostalgia-painted ethereal idea bolstered by some random Google Images action.  This older-style, externally braced design isn't intended to replicate any one specific real-life hopper.  Rather, it takes inspiration from as many of them as needed to extract something semi-believable out of the very limiting proportions (and color selection) of LEGO parts I had on hand.Video: LEGO Covered Hopper Rail Car MOCI was able to make two of these before running out of 1x2 mod plates.  I wouldn't mind having another couple of 'em eventually.  For now, though, I'll be turning my attention to something different.Original linkOriginal author: theJANG

As promised, here's another LEGO body for a fully functioning 4WD radio controlled drift car, with more shells to come in the future.  I hope to push still farther away from the original design with the next one, but it's oh, so tricky!Video: RC LEGO drift car body #2 in action! ?Original linkOriginal author: theJANG
