Bio-Cup has returned in full force, and the preliminary results have been posted! As always, the contest has drawn out some of the most inventive (and bizarre) creations from the Constraction-building LEGO community. Today, we’ll quickly explore some of the builds that stood out to us. This year’s preliminary theme was simply DREAM, and builders were left free to interpret it however their imagination (or subconscious) saw fit… including nightmares, Bionicle beds, electric sheep, DreamZzz, etc… So fall into REM with us as we take a closer look at some of the entries that caught our eye in this opening round. Sleepless Cathedral of Flesh and Dream Loafbuilds really knocked it out of the park, as usual, delivering a jaw-dropping piece of pure horror that wouldn’t feel out of place in a dark fantasy epic. A grotesque, fleshy mass in the process of tearing out its own skeleton, this build is...

Image via (archive.org) Imagine a world without the internet and social media, where you can’t just search the internet for MOCs or inspiration, and where your only source of input is two TV channels, the radio, books, and word of mouth. I know it’s hard to imagine such a world (believe me, I’ve tried several times with my kids). That world did exist, though. It is called the ‘80s, and it’s the world I grew up in. As a kid in that world, I was constantly starved for creative input for my imagination. Sometimes, if you were lucky, there was a cool TV series playing that you were hopefully allowed to watch. Toys were also a way to open up new areas in my imagination: Transforming robots!? People riding on dinosaurs!? Wind up animal mechs?! AWESOME!  Comics were very important for me and many others in this era. During the ‘80s,...

The newest LEGO Ideas to hit the store shelves is the Minifigure Vending Machine (21358). It has 1,343 pieces and retails for $179.99. The set combines a regular Collectible Minifigures series as well as a functional build. Minifigures Like the old regular Collectible Minifigures series, there are 16 minifigures in the set. A majority of the minifigures pay tribute to some of the classic LEGO themes such as Space, Fabuland, Castle, Pirates, and even Paradisa. A few of the minifigures chosen were part of a fan vote held last year. The LEGO Ideas designer has an exclusive torso with the LEGO Ideas logo on both sides. Her accessories include some mini builds. There’s also a minifigure of Rob Vangansewinkel (Goosestore) who is the fan designer of the set. He’s dressed in a red plaid shirt and includes a mini build of the vending machine. For the Space theme, we have the...

Guest contributor Joe Meno talks about LEGO instructions, if you should ask a MOC builder for them, and his experience in LEGO building that spans two millennia. (How’s that for a lead-in!?) In The Beginning You know, I’ve never asked for instructions for someone’s creation. Let me explain myself: I started LEGO building way, way back in 1999 (yeah, the 20th century). At that time, the community was beginning to gather online, post on LUGNET, and post photos of their MOCs on Brickshelf. Digital modeling was just beginning with LDraw and MLCAD. It was a pretty bare frontier then, but there were LUGNET pages that were hopping with activity. I saw some phenomenal builders (and later met them) and their works. But I wasn’t one to ask for instructions. If I saw a MOC that caught my attention, I would look at the photos and see if I could figure out...
