IT’S TIME TO RAID SOME ROCKS WITH A REVAMPED LOADER-DOZER

Much like Aquazone, I’ve always viewed Rock Raiders as “even more LEGO Space.”
And there was never anything wrong with more sci-fi sets, in the opinion of
12-year-old Kyle. These are the kinds of fond memories triggered by this
wonderful recreation of 4950 The Loader-Dozer by Bob DeQuatre. Without using any
parts that are distinctly from either of the mining-heavy themes, Bob captures
the essence of this powerful equipment perfectly. The choice of scoop at this
scale is dead-on, and the move from black to dark gray feels more in keeping
with the rest of the design. I just can’t get over the stellar use of spinner
bases from this Ninjago set for the hubcaps of its mighty wheels. It’s as if
that was their intended purpose all along!



And please take a minute to admire the craftsmanship that went into an accurate
rendition of the accompanying Rock Raiders’ antagonist: the fearsome rock
monster. This posable version feels so much more play-friendly than the
single-molded version from ’99.

A “LITTLE DUELING CLUB” WITH A LOT OF ACTION

Return to the second book of the Harry Potter series in this outstanding LEGO
Dueling Club by Alex Lam. The tan background is outstanding, employing a variety
of structural techniques to recreate the Hogwarts hall. I particularly like the
design of the lion’s head braziers, with school banners hung beneath. But
amongst the throng of minifigures is the real highlight of the build: the
dueling platform. This diorama of moon phases in purple and pearl gold is
excellent, a perfect recreation from the movies. There’s quite a bit of skill in
the use of those gold plates and tiles in the designs going from waxing to
waning crescent, as the part availability is limited in that color.



I know the first image is a bit stationary, and my title did promise some
action, so how about about a second shot with a bit more punch? Nothing beats
watching the overly-pompous Lockhart get his butt kicked. Check out even more
shots of the build on Alex’s Flickr page.

THIS OPTIMUS IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF CUTENESS OVERLOAD!

I need only two “words” to accurately describe this LEGO Optimus Prime variant
by Angus MacLane: toats adorbz! The odd proportions here somehow work quite well
together: tiny hands and feet, a boxy little head, and a big barrel chest
sporting the truck’s grill and headlights. The overall look reminds me of some
of the Playskool versions of the bot intended for toddlers. This is exactly the
kind of masterful character creation you would expect from a much-revered
builder like MacLane. Heck, I’m still flabbergasted by the shaping of that
Optimus noggin in this scale! There’s so much crammed into that small 2x2x2 cube
allowing for proper eyes and forehead visor, as well attachments for the side
hardware.



Of course if it’s a Transformer, then it had better be able to transform.
Angus’s Optimus folds up into a semi, with equally-adorable dimensions. The
opaque medium blue windows are an elegant solution to the difficult task of
conveying a windscreen without revealing the bot within. For all the unique
stylistic choices here, I think I may even like this second version of Prime
better than his first.

RODAN ROUNDS OUT THE KAIJU RUCKUS!

If you’ve been paying attention recently you may have seen sightings of King
Ghadorah, Mothra and the King of Monsters, Godzilla. Now VelociJACKtor’s Rodan
rounds out the big LEGO kaiju battle in all his fiery-red glory. There’s
something just so pleasing about a group of friends building amazing creations
based on the same theme. Seeing and writing about these legendary monsters has
been like watching a Creature Double Feature…twice! I’m flooded with fond
memories of childhood, popcorn, and campy kaiju movies right after the Saturday
morning cartoons. Thanks for the memories, friends!



If you love kaiju and other creepy creatures as much as I do, then check out our
monsters archive for a wild ruckus indeed.

IF I WAS IN WORLD WAR II THEY’D CALL ME SPITFIRE!

The Supermarine Spitfire is possibly the most iconic propellor-driven plane, and
has appeared just about everywhere — books, comics, TV shows, films, music , and
indeed, LEGO bricks. And while British dance legends the Prodigy penned the
title of this post, the prodigy behind this brick-built Spitfire is Juliusz D.
It’s slightly smaller than some other Spitfires you might have seen over the
years, but it’s no less impressive for it. One of my favourite bits is the
canopy, one of the first bits Juliusz built. In fact, this is apparently where
the whole build stemmed from. Some custom decals – alongside stickers
re-purposed from 76907 Lotus Evija – are the perfect icing on the cake to
complete the iconic look of this WWII fighter.

ADDING A SPLASH OF COLOUR TO THE STAR WARS UNIVERSE

We don’t just feature LEGO builds here on TBB because they’re cool, you know.
Well OK, that’s partly why. But equally, we hope that sharing builds like Tino
Poutiainen‘s here can inspire fellow enthusiasts (or those new to the hobby!) to
pick up their bricks. Case in point: yours truly, after seeing Tino’s awesome
take on the Vulture Droid from Star Wars! This particular creation takes the
Separatist starfighter and turns it into something that would not look out of
place in a manga, or even Maschinen Krieger. The Technic panels on the legs are
what drew my attention; I don’t think I’ve ever seen them used for a Vulture
Droid, even though they look like a near-perfect fit. Now excuse me while I go
and rifle through my parts bins – Tino has given me an idea…

A LEGO MEMENTO MORI

The imagery of nature reclaiming things is one that pervades all forms of art.
Andreas Lenander has used his talents as a LEGO builder (and, indeed, as an
artist) to bring us this latest take on the subject. This is an instance where
repeated use of a single part really adds to a build. In this instance, the many
olive green leaf parts give the effect of hundreds of little plants growing
everywhere, while the vines made from whips drive home the overgrown aspect of
the build.

“THIS IS THE WAY” ; “YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES”

Welp, we pretty much know what is going to be Disney’s hottest new action figure
this spring, but a few LEGO builders like Dad’s Bricks (Joe) have gotten ahead
of Hasbro and wasted no time in getting their versions out first. Now Mando
doesn’t have to crane his neck so far down to keep an eye on his adorable little
ward thanks to Grogu’s new IG-12 mech suit. It’s more of a hollowed-out droid,
really. With the help of little Grogu at the controls, the former assassin droid
is capable of saying “no” and “yes”- usually in quick succession. Judging by the
builder’s name, he’s probably a dad and so can understand the pride and wonder
Mando must feel for his (mild spoiler alert, here) adopted son. He probably has
a stockpile of good dad jokes, too. If you know some good ones, please leave
them in the comments.
