Admittedly, I’ve never seen a Yigg before now, and can’t confirm that they exist outside of the LEGO hobby. But I do know an excellent Bionicle creation when I see one, and I trust Jarek Książczyk (jerac) when it comes to questions of cryptozoology. With an array of bright colors and a trisected mandible, the Yigg looks to be a mighty beast of the land… or sea… or maybe skies?

In the world of Pokémon, there are few stories as sad as that of Cubone. And LEGO builder Redverse has poured all that lonely energy into a beautiful build of this pocket monster. Sporting a helm of bone, and a club of the same, Cubone is ready to unleash its infamous Bone Club attack. The Magnemite of Route 10 had better watch out!

For a planet best known for its hives of scum and villainy and unforgiving climate, Tatooine boasts a remarkable variety of large animal life, from humble Womp Rats (not much bigger than two meters), to enormous and deadly Krayt Dragons. Builder Maximillian Bricks has recreated several of Tatooine’s charismatic megafauna in LEGO and the results are adorable. For instance, this pair of mounts from Disney Plus outings shows Obi-Wan and his Eopie, plus Boba Fett riding a Bantha as an honorary Sandperson. Flatulence and blue milk, not included.

I write this from my hotel room, having just packed up all my LEGO builds at BrickCon 2024 this past weekend. Of the many highlights this year was the headlining presence of longtime attendee and TBB alum Simon Liu. As per usual, a contingent of plastic frogs tend to follow Simon wherever he travels. And this year, an army of his robotic hoppers arrived in this beautiful carrier on the convention floor. There were so many that a miniature version of this robo-amphibian jumped right into my crate as I was packing up my creations (as also happened to may other BrickCon attendees). Thank you very much, Simon! The post FrogNation lands at BrickCon 2024 appeared first on The Brothers Brick. Original linkOriginal author: Kyle Keller (TBB Managing Editor)

The 2024 Olympics brought many of the best b-boys and b-girls to Paris for the sport’s inaugural games, but it was Australia’s Rachael “Raygun” Gunn who captured the internet’s attention with her unconventional breaks. Rickard Stensby captures Raygun’s signature kangaroo hop in LEGO. Building tube-limbed dancers in kinetic poses is something of a specialty with Rickard, so even if Raygun’s breaks aren’t jam, you’ll find plenty of LEGO dancers in other styles in his feed.
