The Central Perk Coffee of Friends by Mric76 is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The set recreates the coffee house that the six main characters of the show meet throughout the series. Consisting of 1,719 pieces, the project has lots of the details that is seen at Central Perk and it also proposes 7 minifigures. The project just sneaks in before the deadline in a few days and it now joins a number of other projects in the Second 2018 Review Stage including the SpaceX Falcon Heavy, International Space Station, SpaceX – The Ultimate Collection, Steamboat Willie, M&M’s Chocolate Candy Dispenser, Rolls-Royce UltraFan – The Ultimate Jet Engine, Peugeot 205 Turbo 16, and Fiat 500 F.

Continuing with my coverage of the LEGO minifigure’s 40th birthday, we’ve already taken a look at some of the patents that have been granted and after that, we go to the design process of some minifigures that have been produced already. Below are some hand sketches from various LEGO designers to show some of the details and thought processes of how they came up with the particular characters. Again, we as fans don’t usually see this kind of stuff so we definitely appreciate that LEGO sent over some assets for us to share to the community.

I've been to my fair share of Quidditch pitchs. I worked on the ride at Universal Studios, and just last week we were animating a small scale match in my studio. Luckily I'm a fan, and I'm also really digging this micro scale pitch by builder Oky - Space Ranger. I'm rooting for Gryffindor, how about you? Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

This beautiful craft by builder AdNorrel would be right at home in Episode IX in my opinion, it just has a Star Warsy vibe to it. Especially with that nifty bit of lighting and photo editing on the first image. Is that Bespin I see in the distance? I hear they have excellent carbon freezing capabilities there.

Back in March I dedicated the Mellemby District section of New Jang City to the viewers and asked for your suggestions for an overall theme or direction. Over 1,700 comments poured in and though the responses were quite varied, easily the most common request was for a cyberpunk scene (Blade Runner, Akira, lower Coruscant, Altered Carbon, etc.). Just last month, I thought of finally putting my idle Death Star to use by converting it to work in this space, and viewers approved. Thusly I build!Videos:Part 1Part 2Part 3Part 4Probably one or two more updates should bring this project to a close "for now" and then I'll switch over to something else.Original linkOriginal author: theJANG
