Hi all, Palixa and the Bricks made a great Halloween themed [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/palixa_and_the_bricks/albums/72157716690384193]table lamp[/url] with four scenes using silhouette cutouts and trans elements around a light source, including this vampire castle.

Hi all, Lego Sleepless Nights' [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/marcindski/albums/72157714664723196]Castle of Lord AFOL[/url] is not only a great MOC, but also beautifully rendered and he's able to make it into really compelling scenes. For Halloween it got a [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/mar...

Hi all, A [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/janskrzetuski/50481803933/]Vargheist[/url] is apparently a monster in Warhammer tabletop gaming, but this vignette by BardJaskier is perfectly scary for the Halloween season. What's your favorite scary vig? [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/janskrzetuski...

Hey, I'll start the ball rolling with two of my own that I was proud of. This one is a really old MOC from me, Balin's tomb, from my long-dormant [url=http://classic-castle.com/bricktales/lotrstory204.html]Lord of the Rings[/url] project. In the book it is described like this: "The chamber was ...

Hi all, Shannon Sproule uses lighting to create a great spooky effect in his [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/10104652@N06/50516209527/]Welcome home, darling[/url].

Hi all, Hellboy.bricks and Patrick B have been working on what they call [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/hellboy95/albums/72157713741241626]Project Classic Castle[/url]. Each month they have been recreating great official sets from the past using modern building techniques. This has led to great ...

Hey, My favorite categories have been either those that were based on real history or those where the MOC somehow tells a story. I also always look forward to seeing where people go all out and build a full castle or a town layout that covers multiple baseplates, or at the other end, small MOCs like...

Hey all, LEGO announced the newest Ideas set, [url=https://brickset.com/sets/21324-1]21324, 123 Sesame Street[/url] (Hmm, couldn't they have broken set numbering convention and just called this 123, or 12345?) (I checked, there was a set 123 back in 1969, but no 12345 set exists). Anyway, no castle ...

Hey all, I haven't really paid attention to the Hidden Side sets - I guess it's kind of a Scooby Doo theme? Anyway, the new set [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/bricksfanzflickr/albums/72157712369809902]70437 Mystery Castle[/url]has a lot of castle elements. I'm not a huge fan of panel walls, but ...

Hey, Looking ahead to the next review period ("results in early 2021") there are a bunch of castle or castle-adjacent sets. [url=https://ideas.lego.com/projects/c4d1bdfc-3903-457f-bf53-4b2f96b44a66]Medieval Market[/url] is easily the best of the bunch and a good set prospect. Builder Carli...

Hi all, Once again LEGO Ideas has passed over some castle-y goodness. The official choice is a life-size desk globe and a Sonic the Hedgehog set is still in consideration (probably IP negotiations). They also announced an electric guitar set based on a contest they held. [url=https://ideas.lego.com/...

Hey all, LEGO announced an upcoming Star Wars set, Mos Eisely Cantina 75290, and it looks pretty awesome. If you like tan (looking at you, Bluesecrets), there's a ton here.

Hey Hmm, just watched one of the video reviews on Bricklink. That's ... um ... interesting. I do like kinetic sculptures, like especially the ones by Jason Alleman [url=https://jkbrickworks.com/category/models/]JK Brickworks[/url], and LEGO's done some of these recently, like [url=https://brickset.c...

WHOA! Wait a minute. LEGO bought Bricklink?!?!? I know I've been very out of the loop for the past couple of years, but somehow I totally missed this. Have there been changes to Bricklink policies? Is LEGO taking a larger cut of the sales? Oh, and also (again, I'm out of it), what fish set? Was it 3...

Hey all, Both [url=https://www.promobricks.de/lego-harry-potter-71028-minifiguren-2/106944/]Promobricks[/url] and [url=https://brickset.com/article/53436/harry-potter-minifigs-box-distribution]Brickset[/url] have reported on the distribution in boxes of these figs. Even though Huw notes that the dis...
