I've always loved Jawas, especially the plastic cape one I had as a kid, and gave away to the kid down the street, along with the rest of my collection, and a Death Star play set (12 year old me was a frickin' idiot). Builder sadovich7.9 has captured the best Jawa in LEGO I've ever seen, thanks to the diligent use of five Obi-Wan capes and what had to be a load of patience.  Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

First let me say that bigger isn't always better, but sometimes it's certainly an attention getter. I had the pleasure of seeing this incredible castle by fraserratzlaff in person at BrickCon, and I know my initial reaction was a sincere and appreciative low whistle to myself, with a quiet "whoa, that's big". But that's just the initial reaction, after that was several minutes of eye feasting. It's so big that even with three large photos here, you haven't seen nearly all of it. I invite you to click though, and do some feasting for yourself. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Our pals at the LEGO Car Blog accurately predicted my reaction to this outstanding rendition of Darth Vader's iconic ship from builder Jerac. There's so many cool details and accurate styling on it I don't know where to start, I'll just point enthusiastically at the screen and make "ohh ohh" sounds, ok? Fun Fact: While it's a romantic notion to think this was Darth Vader's ship because he's a super baddie and needed an equally badass ship, the design has a much more practical origin, namely to be able to tell who's who during the battle of Yavin.

What better way to celebrate the release of the latest Marvel movie, and the biggest box office smash in history, than with a teeny tiny micro build of the main characters, the Avengers. Builder 2 Much Caffeine took a literal handful of parts and assembled the greatest super-hero team ever to grace the pages of comics or the big screen (unless you're a Super Friends or Justice League fan, in which case I invite you to debate below).

I would say that most of us in the LEGO community, at one time or another, have experienced the overwhelming compulsion to build something; from spaceships, to castles, to superhero figures, and of course, spaceships.  Or, if you're like WTyler, the National Mall in Washington, D.C.  Since his retirement from the video game industry several years ago, he's occupied his new-found free time with LEGO.  Crossword puzzles and golf just weren't doing it for him.  Not having built with LEGO as a child, he was sucked into the hobby starting with the LEGO Advent Calendar, then on to the Architecture Series.  That's where he really got to thinking, "Hey, I've got the Lincoln Memorial and the US Capitol, why not build everything in between?!?"  He's only a year into this ambitious four year project, but he's got a lot to show for it.  Obviously there have been some challenges, like getting...

From The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, red2 brings you Captain Nemo's six-wheeled pimped-out ride, The Nautilus!  He's captured every gilded detail, from the decorative scrolling on the boot, to the massive V12 engine.  It sure would be a thrill chasing down villains in this beast!  As long as I didn't have to parallel park...

The May/June 208 German flyer is now available and inside there’s a new promotional set that looks to be very interesting. From June 4-24 with purchases of 65€, you can get a free LEGO Creative Personalities (40291) set which is a set based on Hans Christian Andersen and his stories. As you can see from the image above, it is a pop-up book build that shows Andersen writing a story outdoors on a cobblestone area. The other side of the book shows a water area with a white swan. This is presumably based on the popular fairy tale story, The Ugly Duckling. There’s no word at this time whether or not this promotional set will be available here in the states. Maybe this set could be a hint to something we can also expect from LEGO Ideas. If you remember, the Pop-Up Book by JK Brickworks is currently under review on...

When the LEGO Star Wars Black VIP card was announced, it was stated that there would be special promotions for card holders who purchased the UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) on the intial run. Fans have been wondering if they would ever get any promos or deals and it looks like there’s something coming next week during the May the 4th event. There are now unconfirmed rumors that there will be a special sweepstakes for one of the platinum R2-D2 minifigures for Black VIP card holders. This comes from a reader who was told by LEGO store employees from their local store. I’m not sure of the legitimacy of this piece of news but if you’ve heard something similar, let us know in the comments below. Supposedly, there’s also a special blueprint poster of the UCS Y-Wing Starfighter (75181) given out to card holders as well which I’ve heard from a few...
