Throughout the days of the 2017 Christmas Build Up (40253), the builds pretty much have something that revolved around the theme of Christmas but for today’s build, it seems that we’ve jumped into springtime. That’s because the build for today is a ladybug but after doing some research it might be based on the Christmas special for the French animated series, Miraculous Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir. Or maybe I’m just trying too hard to find a Christmas connection… Anyways, the ladybug looks cute especially with the use of the 1×1 round eyelash tiles. There are no legs used but I think it looks fine just the way it is, don’t you think? The post LEGO Seasonal Christmas Build Up (40253) – Day 6 appeared first on The Brick Fan.

The 2018 LEGO Friends sets will be coming out in a few weeks and you’ve probably noticed that there are some slight changes to the girls. The LEGO Friends design team in Billund has given an official announcement of why they’ve changed which you can read below. Every year we strive to innovate and make our products even better for children all over the world. A lot of effort has gone into the development of the LEGO characters and universes across our entire product range, so it makes us very happy when changes are noticed. LEGO Friends in 2018 looks a bit different than what it has in the past. To be specific, the 5 main characters have a slightly different look but also the city and the citizens of Heartlake City have changed. But what are the reasons for the change? Firstly, we want to assure you that all 5...

If you weren't actively looking for cool LEGO creations you might not even give this picture by Anthony SÉJOURNÉ a second look. From the thumbnail it just looks like a well photographed bar of soap. But look closer and you see it's a very clever build. While it's not going to get your hands any cleaner, it's certainly a clean build. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

One thing everyone knows about Komodo dragons is they're big, really big, the biggest lizards on the planet. What you may not realize about this brick-built version by d' Qiu Brick is that it's pretty much actual size (for a small Komodo dragon they can grow up to 9 feet!). Click through for pictures with a minifig for scale and prepare to be stunned. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

CNBC is reporting that Disney and Fox are close on a deal for Disney to acquire assets from Fox which include the 20th Century Fox movie studio for about $60 billion. This means that Disney will regain the film rights to all of the Marvel comics characters which include the X-Men and Fantastic Four. This is some great news that fans have been waiting for but for LEGO fans, this might mean that we could be getting more properies for LEGO Marvel Super Heroes sets like X-Men, Fantastic Four, etc. We’ve gotten LEGO sets here and there from Fox properties like the Mighty Micros: Wolverine vs. Magneto (76073) but the last larger set was the X-Men vs. The Sentinel (76022) way back in 2014. The Disney/Fox deal, which is expected to be announced next week, possibly opens the door for LEGO to maybe start planning on trying to get some licensing...

I wasn't exactly sure what I was looking at when I spied Vince Toulouse's latest creation.   Yeah, clearly it's a high-tech tram.  But with a front-loader washing machine on the third level?  Or is it a Minion?  Whatever, it's pretty frakin' cool!  Check out Vince's photostream to see all the nifty details, especially his notations on the various Duplo and Fabuland pieces that when into this build.  Slick!

I was fortunate enough to see this wonderfully whimsical piece by Brickbaron in person at BrickCon. I was also honored with an official party animal sheep head from Paul, one of 50 he gave out at the convention. Toward the end of the con all of the party animals gathered for a photo op (I'm on the right, making the usual stupid face). What a fantastic way to celebrate the yearly reunion of friends and brighten everyone's day, thanks Paul! Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

For those that didn't know, I have a particular fond spot for bad movies. Not Michael Bay bad, but Ed Wood bad. Those movies that are made with earnestness and heart, but no competency or clue. The kind of films that end up the subjects of MST3K and Rifftrax. One of those movies is The Room, and epically bad film from Tommy Wiseau, which happens to be the subject of a new film called the Disaster Artist, and consequently this brilliant MOC from Ochre Jelly.

In second place: Bob Ross by Palixa And The BricksThis was no "happy accident". Bob Ross taught millions to paint, and inspired this brilliant entry. And if the name sounds familiar, it's because Palixa And The Bricks won second place last...
