Every once in a while the inspiration for a build just slightly exceeds the bricks on hand. Most of the time this leads to delays and inevitable Bricklink orders. But that drive to get it done can also lead to creative workarounds. In the case of the walls of this lovely loft by Heksu, dark red was in short supply, but with a little out of the box thinking (and the use of jumpers, slopes and everything else that works) it got done. The results are impressive, and it's totally a place I'd like to hang out. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Generally we don't feature digital builds here on BrickNerd, but when they're as phenomenal as this one by Nicola Stocchi we'll make an exception. Behold the War Rig, driven by Furiosa in Fury Road and expertly recreated at minifig scale. This beast looks ready to conquer the wasteland, and thanks to exceptional lighting and rendering by Gabriele Zannotti, it's as beautiful as it is badass.   Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

An interesting model by Boba-1980, but one that is rather fun and creative. The builder recreated the Battle of Crait, something we have probably seen plenty of times by now (and it hasn't even been a year yet!), but Boba-1980 make it in microfighter form. A condensed command shuttle, a smaller version of the base's turrets, and even a tiny First Order battering ram. What does that all create when combined? A fun model that I'm sure many kids could enjoy playing with.  Original linkOriginal author: Nathaniel Stoner

Jan T. shares this incredible scene that takes place in a dystopian time. I feel like large, full scenes like this are not as common these days, and it appears that Jan agrees with that perspective. I'm really glad that he was able to create this awesome model that spares no detailing. Check out his other great builds on his Flickr!  Original linkOriginal author: Nathaniel Stoner

Built for Brickworld Chicago 2018, Hacim Bricks made this awesome sci-fi city that is purely the definition of greebles, but greebling used to great and powerful effect. I was fortunate enough to see the very start of this build last year, but I never fully imagined how big or cool this would turn out once it was brought to completion by its builder! As to be expected with any creation like this, there are many small parts used in creative ways. What's your favorite use?! Original linkOriginal author: Nathaniel Stoner

Ben Cossy has reconstructed the ancient Sith temple that we see on Malachor from Star Wars Rebels! Arguably one of the best parts of the show, this temple looks incredible when recreated in LEGO form (especially when lit up, as pictured below)! The angling on the main structure, and accompanying columns, just adds so much depth to this structure that could be overlooked by the casual onlooker, but I would encourage you to take a closer to look to see all the added angles that Ben put in to make it a more complex model.   Original linkOriginal author: Nathaniel Stoner

I recently discovered the incredible work that is done by Mitch Phillips. When I was young, Bionicle was one of my top go-to toys. I loved collecting and building them, and even combing them into my own models. Thinking back at it, this was my very first experience with LEGO, though I didn't consider that it was actually made by the company that made the same building sets that I didn't like at the time, because they always fell apart. Because of my early interest in this awesome theme released by LEGO, I will always have an appreciation of equally awesome Bionicle MOCs. This creation is yet another unique one that I have found lately, and I love every bit of it. If you look closely enough, you'll realize that nearly everything seen here is made with Bionicle or other similar building system elements, with only a few exceptions. That building...

According to builder Corvus Auriac MOCs this is  "a small MOC with a great metaphorical symbolism. While a life vanishes, a rose blooms." It's a reminder that when we're gone, we become the fuel for other life, and the cycle continues. It also points out a serious issue, who's burying the coffins at this cemetery and why are they doing such a terrible job at it? Seriously, fire that guy. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Let's be real, this is how we all feel every Monday morning, am I right? Jokes aside, this build entitled Daydream by timofey_tkachev is one of those builds that fully embraces LEGO as an art form. I've spent too much time staring at this creation, from the base of steering wheels to the intricately built hair, yet I still do not believe I fully grasp the message left by the builder in this beautiful piece. Needlessly to say the author has clearly mastered the art of the brick and this is a build to be remembered. Original linkOriginal author: Andrew Eden

If you’re an Amazon Prime member, there’s a pretty good deal on the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Battle of Atlantis (76085). It is currently on sale for only $11.99 which is 40% off the regular price of $19.99.

There’s no word on when the deal is over but get it while you can if you’re a parts monkey.
