Hogwarts By lego tohst

2010-09-07T07:05:00.000-07:00

Check out THIS incredible rendition of Hogwarts Castle from Harry Potter. I'm not a huge fan of the books or movies but I do love the LEGO elements the theme gives us! The color and style of the elements from the Harry Potter sets are some of the best around. From the beige wall elements to the of green roofing. The beautiful spiral staircase and the roofing are some of the most architecturally sound LEGO structures Ive seen.

Awesome Bio-Zombie Elephant Warrior Tattoo

2010-09-06T23:07:00.000-07:00

My pal just got this exquisite piece of art on his leg. Unique is an understatement. Described as a Biomech Zombie Elephant, this is as cool as it comes my friends. In a world awash with gimp tribal armbands and the like, its a delight to be associated with a fellow with this kind of dedication

Not really anything LEGO here just big time win.

The Lego cake

2010-09-06T22:29:00.000-07:00

Something to do on labor day I guess. My pal Cupcake Lady over at Deep Fried or Frosted has really outdone herself this time. Fresh off her 22nd or 23rd birthday (I cant remember) she still finds the time to come out with THIS tasty looking confection. Make sure to check out her Frugal Living section for some great deal!

Have I ever mentioned how much I love pink LEGO elements! In fact LEGO Bellville was one of my favorite themes. Anyhow, I hope to get a nom nom off that tomorrow

DeLorean by Legohaulic

2010-09-06T21:07:00.000-07:00

One of cinemas all time classics is brought "back" to life by legohaulic in THIS sweet creation. Nice RC controller to boot. "Back to the Future" was one of the first movies I ever remember seeing in the theaters. The nostalgia level on this is off the charts.

Be sure to check out all his great creations HERE

Rouge Castle by Crimson Wolf

2010-09-05T21:09:00.000-07:00

This is the kind of thing that inspires me to build in the Castle genre. Im always amazed how some people can jam a ton of minfigs into a reletavly small area. Great fauna, love what lego has done over the years with these elements. Although Im kinda bummed out about how many food/gem elements in their sets these days, instead of bricks. Anyhow, imho, this is one of the finest examples of castle architecture in a LEGO setting. Really loving that little archers roost, and the style of the roof.

And now for something completly different...

2010-09-05T07:54:00.000-07:00

Check out my friends, The Cupcake Lady, new blog. She is one of the best and innovative cooks this side of the Mississippi. She does all sorts of fun stuff like deep fired cupcakes. This stuff is mmmn mmmn good, in fact they usually cant get rid of me when I decide to visit. Also she is a wizard of the supermarket, getting deals like I have never seen before. Make sure to check out her Frugal Living Tips page for more info.

Welcome Humans! I am ready for you

2010-09-04T07:02:00.000-07:00

Check out this spectacular MOC done by Kieth Goldman. Modeled after the 1976 (jeesh been that long?) movie Logans Run. The fauna in particular really catches my eye along with the great use of SNOT (studs not on top) for the water. Lord knows, if I try to do anything in SNOT, its just an excercise in futulity. The retro minifigs are also a great touch and makes me pine for the LEGO collection of my youth. My only gripe about this remarkable MOC is the absence of the iconic monorail. That being said, I would definatley give this MOC 5/5 stars. Really cool stuff.

Make sure to check out his Flickr for more great pictures

Patrick Biggs' Vayland Dragon redux

2010-09-01T14:14:00.000-07:00

When this guy built this originally a couple years back, people were amazed. Judging by work and creativity he has put into part 2 I think people are going to drop dead. Im usually not a big fan of bionicle elements but this is just masterly.

Check out THIS unique MOC. Its this kind of cross-genre building that I love. From transformers to warhammer, starcraft to D&D....this stuff always inspires to (think about) building some of the classic licenses from my childhood.

Remember blowing up green army men with black cats? We used to have huge campaigns with our army men and GI Joes, I wince to think about how much money was blown up in my back yard.

Since there is so much nostalgia going on in the comments, I figured Ide dig out THIS beauty. This was actually the first "real" set I remember doing as a kid.

6 minifigs and 2 horses, plus a bunch of great roof and wall elements. Flag, bows and pennents. Theres much to love here. This is (was) a castle builders dream set. Would still love to get my hands on a mint set...
