I’ve been obsessed with Hollow Knight ever since I downloaded it back in June. It is a great entry to the ‘metroidvania’ genre with its hand-drawn art and 2D platforming game...[[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]Original link

While I'm a purist when it comes to building, for animation I break all the "rules" all the time. We glue parts, drill them, cut them and modify them to make them work for the project, it's just practical to get the job done. I know it would make a lot of you cry to witness all that activity with tools and bricks in the same space, but here's a fascinating animation by BricksBrosProductions that has both, and as far as I can see, no bricks were harmed in the making, enjoy!

Back in the good ol' days of flight, every journey was a perilous and daring adventure that lead to new discoveries and innovation. There were no commercial flights with terrible airplane food (some might consider them to be lucky then) and aviation only existed in the minds of dreamers and builders. Tino Poutiainen honors these brave inventors that risked their lives in this wonderful depiction of a prototype airplane with details in all the right places.  Original linkOriginal author: Andrew Eden

The September 2018 LEGO Store Calendar came out a few days ago and we’ve had time to look it over and see what’s coming up. Probably the most interesting thing for the month is the two VIP Early Access sets from September 13-30 but what could they be? One of the sets could be highly rumored LEGO Star Wars UCS Cloud City set which we first talked about in January which I gave a detailed explaination of how it could be coming. The other set could possibly be the annual LEGO Creator Winter Village set which I have no idea what it is. There might have been some rumors but I haven’t actively looked for it so I wouldn’t know. What do you guys think the two sets could be released next month for VIP Early Access? Let us know in the comments below. The post Two LEGO VIP Early Access...

So, I bought Voltron!  My son and I put him together the other night.  Took us about three hours; we both built an arm and a leg, then I 'supervised' the Black lion.  I've been driving my wife crazy referring to him by some of his lesser known titles, like Voltron: Defender of the Coffee Machine, and Voltron: Defender of the Dining Room Table.  You get the idea... I won't bore you with all the construction details, other than that this set is put together.  I mean solid.  None of the old move-him-around-a-little and stuff starts falling off.  Nope, you've got technic in there, angled plates top and bottom locking together, practically everything is double reinforced for strength.  Old Lendy wasn't messing around! Defender of the Coffee Machine! Defender of the Refrigerator! Defender of the Fireplace! Defender of the Barbecue! It's on! Grrrrrrrr Don't get me wrong, though.  It's by no...
