Solo is a week away, and the anticipation is growing. I remain cautiously optimistic for it, and will certainly see it opening weekend. Builder Boba-1980 built this pretty impressive little scene depicted in the trailer. No idea what Han has done, where he's going, where he's coming from or why he's being chased, but it's certainly exciting. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Since humans got smart enough to build houses, we've been dumb enough to set them on fire. And going way, way back we've had groups of brave individuals willing to risk their lives to combat those fires. Eventually we built vehicles to help with the task, like this fire truck from the oldest fire apparatus manufacturer in America, Bickle Seagrave. Builder Nouvilas does this classic justice in this build. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Standing still this antique sewing machine by builder _Pixeljunkie_ is charming enough, but when you see it in motion it's just magical. Generally speaking we don't feature LEGO Ideas projects here on the blog, but I fell in love with this MOC before it was launched, so I'll make an exception. Plus I've been thinking a lot about sewing recently (yeah, real men sew) so it seems appropriate. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

These train cars by Tim Schwalfenberg are very different when compared to the models typically seen on his Flickr Photostream. That's no matter, however, because these train cars are brilliantly done. With the excellent chassis system, these models hardly look LEGO at all! I could see these cars on a model train layout now... I can't wait to see what other cars Tim makes, and if an entire engine is on the way... Original linkOriginal author: Nathaniel Stoner

I've been spending a lot more time on Twitch lately, not so much under the BrickNerd persona, but as our sister site (and my latest harebrained scheme) Nerds&Makers. But of course I still love the bricks, so I've spent quite a bit of time hanging out in the brick builder's channels, including BrickinNick. So I had the opportunity to actually watch this MOC come into being over the course of a few days. It's been interesting to watch other builders, makes me want to build more. Then I remember I have a whole new website and community to build (what have I done?) Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Rogue Bantha is coming in for a landing with his new midiscale model of a Low Altitude Assault Transport (or gunship). What is there to say about this build? It's absolutely fantastic, nailing every single detail of these iconic Star Wars transports. The shaping? Ace. Texturing? Perfect. Having a fleet of this particular creation would be incredible to see. I guess we will have to wait to see the builder's next midiscale model! Original linkOriginal author: Nathaniel Stoner

While I'm not a sports fan, even I instantly recognized the logo for the National Basketball Association. Having attempted similar MOCs in this style I can truly appreciate how difficult something like this is (and how few angles and curves there are in bricks) which makes me even more impressed at how closely it matches the real logo, nice work DOGOD Brick Design.

It looks like we’ve gotten an accidental sneak peek at the new Flying Ford Anglia from one of the upcoming LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter sets. As you can see from the image above, the car is somehow put on the banner for the LEGO Elves theme on Shop@Home. The Ford Anglia shown is an updated version of the car which has also previously appeared in two other sets, Escape from Privet Drive (4728) and Hogwarts Express (4841). This new one could be in one of the two rumored sets that it has a scene in, Aragog in the Forbidden Forest (75950) and Whomping Willow (75953). Either way, it most likely means the set will also include minifigures of Harry Potter and Ron Weasley. Thanks to Anonymous for the heads up.

What could possibly be better than the LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon? The LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon with lights and sound! We installed the Brickstuff premium kit in ours and it's absolutely amazing. The kit includes 109 LEDs, 2 speakers and sound modules, more than 75 genuine LEGO parts and a remote control.  For more info visit www.lightmyfalcon.com To see some of the behind the scenes action check out the Twitch Channel at our sister site Nerds&Makers.

Last month, we got a first look at the box art for the summer 2018 LEGO Elves sets. There are only two sets coming out which could suggest that the theme is coming to an end. We now have some of the product images of the two sets and even the set name for one of the sets could mean that the LEGO Elves theme is winding down.
