I'm not sure why I find this MOC by Gamabomb so unsettling. If it's the proportions, the build style, the fact that it's wearing pants, I don't know. But I also find it compelling, and I can tell you this; the battlefields of the future are going to be simultaneously horrific, disturbing, fascinating and badass.

Jammin' while building a device to jam with. Vaionaut designed Star-Lord's tape player, and item from Peter's past that he can not part with. I love the headset portion, using some flexible tubing and clever curves used to construct the speaker areas. The main body of the player is also very clean and is cleverly incorporating the dark blue and light gray. I have only seen one other LEGO version of this player, but this is a bit better in my opinion. Nicely done! Original linkOriginal author: Nathaniel Stoner

My reviews of the summer 2017 wave of The LEGO Batman Movie sets have started with The Ultimate Batmobile (70917) and the next one up is The Batwing (70916). The set has 1,053 pieces and retails for $89.99. Minifigures Batman makes an apearance in another The LEGO Batman Movie set and for this one, there’s nothing new to report on him. He’s the same minifigure, including the head, as in a couple of previous sets. Robin is the same as Batman as he is not exclusive in any shape or form. Harley Quinn, however, is exclusive to an extent. Her torso and legs are new with some nice printing of her corset. The tutu piece is not new but there is her red and black coloring. Her face printing and hair mold is not new as it has appeared in another TLBM set. Her accessory is a cool brick-built red, white,...

One of the more interesting LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens sets from last year was the Encounter on Jakku (75148). Unfortunately, it the normal price of $59.99 was a bit too high for what you get however Amazon currently has it on sale for $35.76 which is 40% off and is a fair price for it. The set consists of a brick-built Luggabeast and exclusive Teedo and Unkar Plutt minifigures which are the main highlights.

This one fooled me, I mean really fooled me. I looked at this thumbnail and thought "well, that's an unusual color for a door handle". Then stared at it for a second more and thought "I guess that's why they took a picture of it". Yes, I was so confused by the nature of the picture of a door handle that I failed to notice it was brick-built. Well played Grantmasters, well played. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

This thing is mesmerizing, totally mesmerizing. This is the Gräjjs 5.1, a kinetic sculpture from builder gonkius, and it's a sight to behold. I can't imagine how much trial and error it took to get all these nested mechanisms to coexist in such a tight but elegant space. Check out the video to see it in motion.

Attention audiophiles, you gotta check this out. The new SBA 1.2 Soundboard is out and it's a beauty. Just look at all those dials, buttons, slider and doohickies, it must be awesome. And if you order now for the bargain price of $9999.99 they throw in a complimentary technic pic, what are you waiting for? Nice one soccersnyderi. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

I can't believe Star Wars turns 40 this year, man I'm old. I can think of no greater single influence in my life, one that turned me into what I am. Star Wars ignited a creative flame in me that has burned fiercely ever since. Model fabricating, filmmaking, visual effects, camera gear and all my other skill sets and nerdy passions can be traced back to this pivotal cinematic moment. Happy birthday Star Wars!

Instead of hosting, Isaac S. is now competing in the ABS Builder Challenge! This round's unique element to incorporate in all builds is a red minifigure bucket! That is surely the most interesting piece used by the hosts so far, at least to me. When you have a red bucket, I am definitely not surprised that one of the builders thought of a firetruck AND firehouse! The building is very nicely done, and is especially good considering Isaac is primarily a castle builder. Make sure to check out addition shots of this station, and the vehicles he created for it!
