With the fleet of massive SHIPs we’ve seen lately it’s refreshing to know that someone still loves small, one-man spacecraft. This LEGO Blacktron attack craft was built by none other than The Brothers Brick’s own Mansur Soeleman. While he could have written a better post about it himself, once I’ve dedicated thirty seconds into a post, there’s really no stopping that engine. With that said, I’m smitten by Mansur’s use of these pieces from the Ninjago Arcade Pod sets. I also like that this diminutive yet deadly BT-145 Terribilis is named after the equally diminutive and deadly Golden Poison Frog. We’ve been smitten by Mansur’s creations before and while they refuse to give me the keys to our recruiting office, I’m guessing this is why he’s writing for us now.

Today the LEGO Lead User Lab has revealed a teaser of a new LEGO MINDSTORMS Porsche (515153) that could be released in the future. The prototype set basically the LEGO Technic Porsche 911 RSR (42096) combined with the power of LEGO MINDSTORMS which gives it some enhanced features including full autonomous driving, programmable LED headlights, and distance sensoring. As of right now, there are no details of the set except that it potentially has 819 pieces. There is an “I Want It” button which takes you to a form to fill out of how you feel of the LEGO MINDSTORMS Porsche (515153). Unfortunately, the form is only open for UK residents which is an interesting geographical restriction. Giving your feedback will enter your to win a copy of LEGO Technic Porsche 911 RSR (42096).

According to the LEGO Lab news page, a new LEGO Mindstorms set, 515153 Mindstorms Porsche, is in the works. The set is based on 2019’s LEGO Technic 42096 Porsche 911 RSR set. Unlike the original set, which had no motorized functions, the new edition comes with the latest LEGO Mindstorms motors and sensors, which were revealed along with the announcement of the new generation of the system back in June. The LEGO Lab team promises full autonomous driving, which becomes possible thanks to the new Mindstorms smart hub and the visor sensor. Equipped with ultra-sonic sensors, the car must be able to detect objects and to measure distance. Of course, those are no hi-tech lidar sensors found in the latest cars, but the concept sounds very exciting. The new angular motors must be perfect for precise positioning and speed control. Four of them in the car can produce a lot of...

Every year, for a little over a month, the LEGO sci-fi fans among us get a treat: SHIPtember. A celebration of insanity and massive amounts of small interlocking bricks, it is one of my favorite times of year (it doesn’t hurt that I enjoy everything else about autumn, too, like Oktoberfest beers and wool sweaters). One name that consistently shines out among the rest is ZCerberus, who, perhaps taking his cues from the changing foliage of the Northern Hemisphere, has created a fleet of massive orange spaceships. This year’s model is a repair frigate, LL885, ready to fix any small fighter that might have an issue. Small cranes, tons of greebles, and lots of roller coaster tracks make this one a great addition. Love orange spaceships? Then check out ZCerberus’ other builds, since he has built a whole fleet of them. The post Orange is the new bley appeared first on...
