When the LEGO Star Wars Black VIP card was announced, it was stated that there would be special promotions for card holders who purchased the UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) on the intial run. Fans have been wondering if they would ever get any promos or deals and it looks like there’s something coming next week during the May the 4th event. There are now unconfirmed rumors that there will be a special sweepstakes for one of the platinum R2-D2 minifigures for Black VIP card holders. This comes from a reader who was told by LEGO store employees from their local store. I’m not sure of the legitimacy of this piece of news but if you’ve heard something similar, let us know in the comments below. Supposedly, there’s also a special blueprint poster of the UCS Y-Wing Starfighter (75181) given out to card holders as well which I’ve heard from a few...

I would say that most of us in the LEGO community, at one time or another, have experienced the overwhelming compulsion to build something; from spaceships, to castles, to superhero figures, and of course, spaceships.  Or, if you're like WTyler, the National Mall in Washington, D.C.  Since his retirement from the video game industry several years ago, he's occupied his new-found free time with LEGO.  Crossword puzzles and golf just weren't doing it for him.  Not having built with LEGO as a child, he was sucked into the hobby starting with the LEGO Advent Calendar, then on to the Architecture Series.  That's where he really got to thinking, "Hey, I've got the Lincoln Memorial and the US Capitol, why not build everything in between?!?"  He's only a year into this ambitious four year project, but he's got a lot to show for it.  Obviously there have been some challenges, like getting...

From The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, red2 brings you Captain Nemo's six-wheeled pimped-out ride, The Nautilus!  He's captured every gilded detail, from the decorative scrolling on the boot, to the massive V12 engine.  It sure would be a thrill chasing down villains in this beast!  As long as I didn't have to parallel park...

Besides the new LEGO Jurassic World sets, LEGO Star Wars Solo sets, and LEGO Incredibles 2 sets (see links at the end of this post), another new set that sort of sneaked in mid-month is the #41611 LEGO BrickHeadz Marty McFly & Doc Brown characters from Back to the Future.

The battle scene from Crait from Star Wars The Last Jedi was most memorable for its distinctive blood-red dust plumes that billow from the wake of the Resistance Ski Speeders in their feeble attempt to bring down the First Order. Their target was the modified canon protected by the First Order Heavy Assault Walkers (AT-M6) that towered over the battlefield. Builder Irwan Prabowo miniaturised the scene with a diorama that perfectly captures the tense moment. We love the cracked planet surface texturing approach Irwan used. If you take a closer look, the tiny Ski Speeders use minifigure skates to complete the look (albeit on the outrigger, not the ski). How appropriate!
