I had one of those moments while scrolling Flickr this morning, and I love it. I like to call them “wait, what?” moments. When you’re looking at a picture and your brain just can’t reconcile it. It’s LEGO, it says it’s LEGO, it’s in a LEGO group…how…wait… This absolutely gorgeous staircase and the room that it’s in by Heksu just blew my mind, sorry if I got any brains on you.

Last month, Universal announced their plans for the Jurassic World franchise which included an animated LEGO Jurassic World short and today we have details of it and it is called LEGO Jurassic World: The Secret Exhibit. It is a two-part special that will be a prequel to the 2015 Jurassic World and it will be airing on NBC November 29 at 8pm EST/PST. It will also be streamable the next morning on NBC.com. There will also be a DVD with exclusive content that will be coming out on January 15, 2019. I believe this is the first time that LEGO will have an animated short on one of the major TV stations and not on Cartoon Network like before. Check out the trailer and the press release below. NEW YORK, Nov. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — NBC has partnered with Universal Brand Development and The LEGO Group for the upcoming debut of...

Today LEGO celebrates an amazing ten years of LEGO Ideas as a crowdsourcing platform for fans. It all started back in 2008 as LEGO CUUSOO during the beta phase and it eventually changed to LEGO Ideas which we now have today. The first set made for CUUSOO was the Shinkai 6500 Submarine (21100) and the first one under the LEGO Ideas name was the Ghostbusters Ecto-1 (21108). There now has been 23 sets that have been officially released so far and it doesn’t look like it will be stopping any time soon. Which LEGO Ideas set is your favorite?

The term NPU gets thrown around a lot (for those new here it stands for “Nice Part Use”) but I think it’s deserved here. The towers of this clever little castle are pip shooters, which pack a lot of detail into a small space. With some clever building and a handful of carefully selected parts, Alego37 has crafted a charming castle that defies it’s scale. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Although Battlefront II was not the most acclaimed game of 2017 and has caused many to go to the dark side with their hatred towards EA (Master Yoda warned us!), it is one of the most visually stunning games I have ever seen, and the same can be said about this MOC by First Order Lego. The chaos and scale do justice to the game and the textures make it hard for me to take my eyes off this diorama. I would highly recommend checking out the other shots of this beautifully detailed MOC! Original linkOriginal author: Andrew Eden

So you’re out with the family enjoying some water sports and you have so many questions. Is this a human-made reservoir? What kind of bird is that? Can I fish here? Was that a crocodile or alligator that just ate Timmy? Lucky for you there’s an info center right here on the water’s edge thanks to builder Brickisme. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Don’t you sometimes feel the urge to speed across a desert planet, leaving a trail of alien dust behind you? If so, this speeder by David Roberts 01341 is perfect for you! This massive turbine speeder bike looks like it was pulled straight off a podracer. But knowing podracing, it is safe to assume that this speeder will be stolen to make a podracer instead! Just remember, what happens in the Outer Rim stays in the Outer Rim. Original linkOriginal author: Andrew Eden

I’m a sucker for a real-world creation, especially one as well executed as this one from builder legoloverman. The thin lines were achieved through the clever use of hinges, and the spiral binding with hoop blades. My favorite detail is more subtle though, and perfectly appropriate, that’s Eraser’s head on the end of the pencil there. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy
