When Batman came out in 1989 it was a full week before I got to see it (crunch time on the Ghostbusters attraction at Universal) and by that time I heard all my friends tear it to shreds. I went in with low expectations...and loved it, still do. There are some eye roll moments, but this was the first super hero movie that wasn't just downright silly or bad, and it still holds up. This pivotal scene where Joker tries to poison the residents of Gotham with festive parade floats  (spoilers!) has been gloriously recreated in bricks by builder Cpt. Brick, and I totally love it.

LEGO has a knack for revealing the following year’s sets at San Diego Comic Con and it looks like they’ve done their first reveal for this year with the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Batman Mech vs. Poison Ivy Mech (76117).

Last year, LEGO released the LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (75187) which was a large scale model of the character and it turned out to be a pretty successful set. It looks like LEGO will continue with that trend of producing larger scale builds and Brickshop.nl has confirmed that there will be a Porg (75230) coming out later this year. Consisting of 811 pieces and retailing for €79.99, LEGO is hoping the adorable furry creature will bring them the same success as it did with BB-8. **Via: Promobricks** The post LEGO Star Wars Porg (75230) Confirmed to be Coming appeared first on The Brick Fan.

The official Twitter accounts for both James Bond and Aston Martin has released more teasers of the mysterious set that they are working with LEGO on. It’s still unsure what they are working on but the most likely guess is the famous Aston Martin DB5 from James Bond which could also include an ejector seat. Stay tuned as there will be more teaser up until the official announcement for the set.

LEGO has revealed another LEGO BrickHeadz set with the Marvel Super Heroes Infinity War Rocket and Groot (41626). The set is part of a slew of upcoming LEGO BrickHeadz sets that will be released in the next few months. There’s no word on pricing but I assume it will be $19.99 like with the other two packs.

Having recently joined the half century club, I can sort of relate to this MOC by builder tankm. Not that I'm using a cane yet, but I'm certainly not in the fresh flush of youth any more. According to the builder this is a future self portrait, and I think it's wonderful. We should all imagine ourselves enjoying beautiful places in the winter of our lives.

About a week ago, it was reported that the upcoming LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle (71043) direct-to-consumer set would be a microscale set. There was no other information about it but a source emailed in and informed me about a little detail about the set, more specifically, the piece count. I’ve been told that it would be roughly around 6,000 pieces which is a lot larger than I expected. Keep in mind that this information is unconfirmed and should be considered a rumor until it is officially announced by LEGO.

Dragonball Z was one of my favorite animes growing up. It's completely ridiculous, but so much fun.  Legendary builder Moko has made a MOC of Super Saiyan Vegeta in his Great Ape form (long story...). He captured the look perfectly, and I love how pose-able he looks. How will Goku get out of this pickle? TUNE IN NEXT TIME ON DRAGONBALL Z! Original linkOriginal author: James Morr

Humans have always envied birds. For as long as we've been looking up, we've been longing to take to the skies. Thankfully, we were clever enough to figure out how, and flying airplanes is now the aspiration. Like this little one by builder tankm, we can all dream of flight, and the dream is within reach.  Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Lord of the Rings fans should recognize this, it's the White City, Minas Tirith in the realm of Gondor. This build by Swan Dutchman is technically a micro build, but when it's of a subject on this scale, even in micro it's a huge undertaking. According to Koen it took about 6 months and is composed of over 11,500 parts! Just look at all the detail, it's amazing. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy
