It was just only a few weeks ago when the LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector’s Series Snowspeeder (75144) was officially announced but we’ve managed to get a hold of the set, courtesy of LEGO, and we’re happy to bring you this review of the set. Coming in at 1,703 pieces, the UCS Snowspeeder will retail for $199.99 and will be available starting April 29 for LEGO VIP early access and on May 4 for the general public. The contents of the box include 13 numbered bags, a loose 8×16 plate, a black 8×16 flat tile, and the instruction booklet packaged with the sticker sheet. Instructions Booklet The instruction booklet for the UCS Snowspeeder is very thick. It has 300 total pages counting the covers. The first page contains a short message from the LEGO Star Wars Design Director Jens Kronvold Frederiksen who gives some details about the LEGO Star Wars Design...

For s generation, this was the screen of total frustration. With the original Nintendo Entertainment System there was an accessory called the Light Gun, and while there were a few games that took advantage of it, this game ruled supreme. Duck Hunt was simple enough, shoot the ducks, but it could be difficult. And as if it's wasn't frustrating enough, this dog would taunt you after every round. This MOC by Pate-keetongu captures that moment perfectly, when you pointlessly aim your pistol at that dog and unleash. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

When life gives you lunchboxes, you make futuristic Toronto inside of them.  Canadian builder Simon Liu built his own version of his home city of Toronto in the future.  As part of the celebration of Canada's 150th birthday, Simon was given a decorative lunchbox.  Appropriately, he then decided to fill that box with LEGO, specifically a microscale city.  A very neat concept!  The shiny surface of the box gives a nice effect to the city's reflection.

It's the most recognized bridge in the world, one of the top 10 tourist destinations on earth, and it gives me no small sense of pride that it's in my home state of California. Now it's a gorgeous MOC that spans over 12 feet. I have to confess I am a bit jealous of attendees of BrickUniverse this weekend in Raleigh NC who get to see this stunning work by builder Rocco Buttliere in person. Click through for many more pictures and loads of information and history on the bridge, it's truly a labor of love. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Every LEGO builder has one of these: their own build area.  A LEGO room.  A LEGO lair. . .AKA LEGO Man Cave.  Shall I go on?  I think you get the point.  Every LEGO builder organizes his collection differently, an aspect that become quite unique and creative on its own.  Now, pictured in this scene by Jsnyder002, many of our build areas probably look like a bit of a mess.  How familiar does this room look to you?  Is it like your collection, right now?  Furthermore, this "Out of Time" creation depicts the last few minutes a builder has to build and enter for a contest.  Sound familiar?  A lovely and true to life scene!

In time for the home release of Rogue One, Tim Goddard celebrates by creating an awesome small version of the now-famous U-Wing!  To make it even better, Tim added a small squadron of X-Wings to the mix for a wonderful display piece!  Tim was even able to get the folding wing feature to work on the U-Wing!  Pretty neat.  How are you celebrating the release of the film (besides watching it)?!  May the Force be with you.

Here on the central coast of California we have fairly few predators. There's the occasional mountain lion, black bear or bobcat, but those are pretty rare. Far more often we see coyote, but they just look like wild dogs, not anything nearly as intimidating as this mech by builder ToyForce 120. I also assume the local mammals are glad this is just a figment of his imagination. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

It seems like the AFOL world has gone Brickheadz crazy, but I'm sort of ok with it as long as cool stuff like this keeps cropping up. Ripley herself would be proud of these adorable Queen Alien and Powerloader from builder GolPlaysWithLego. But that doesn't mean the drama isn't there, any second now Ripley's gonna cry out "get away from her you brickhead" and toss her in the airlock. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

The Nightmare Before Christmas is one of the most unique films ever made. Whimsical in it's design, original in it's concept, groundbreaking in it's animation and showstopping in it's music. Jack's house is one of the wonderful designs in the film, and this version by monstrophonic captures it perfectly. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy
