Siege by Paul Vermeesch

Paul Vermeesch is a downright boss at building epic, detail packed vignettes. What more can be said!? I can say this: Nice explosion!
Paul is a great builder, and he has a very bright future. But more important than being a great builder, he's a great guy.

See the awesomeness on Mocpages.

LEGO 9526 Palpatine's Arrest

Rumors have been around for awhile about a Palpatine's Arrest set. But put all rumors aside, and here we go!

9526 Palpatine's Arrest was spotted in a German store earlier this week. This is really rather odd considering we haven't even seen a blurry concept photo. Talk about a surprise! A good  surprise though. I have always wanted a set of this scene ever since I first saw the movie. It's just screaming to be made!

Well scream no more movie scene, your time has come.

Check out the pictures below to see the back of the box and the figs.

No word on piece count or price. Probably $80 to $100. Any more and I will officially hate LEGO. :P

Sorry for the absence of posting lately. Memorial Day weekend is one of the busiest weekends each year. And unfortunately it was busier than expected. But I shall try my best to post a lot before I leave later this week. Sorry. Busy spring.

Angry Birds by Austin Durick

Angry Birds: The game that swept the nation. I must say, it is addicting.
This MOC by Austin Durick is a great representation of everyone's favorite birds and pigs. I really like how he pulled off the birds. Micro animals can be hard to do.

See it on Mocpages.

Griffin by MortalSwordsman.

MortalSwordsman has been making some great models recently. Griffin is just a taste of what he builds. The epic wing design is just... epic!

LEGO Ultimate Siderman: 6873 Spiderman's Doc Ock Ambush

Finally, a month or so after seeing the official Spiderman figs, we have obtained a picture of the set.

6873 Spiderman's Doc Ock Ambush will be available in August. Not sure on piece count or price, but I can guess on 350-500 pieces, and a $40-50 price range. Minifigures will be Spiderman, Doc Ock, and Iron Fist. Anybody know who Iron Fist is?

This is Ultimate Spiderman, keep in mind, not The Amazing Spiderman. My theory on why they are making a new Spiderman movie is that Spiderman will be in the second Avengers movie. Why else would they start the story all over again? When you have three movies in the bag already, you usually don't make a fourth one from the beginning unless there is a reason. Like being in the sequel to the fourth biggest movie of all time (Currently).

Thanks to MrToys for the image.

Ayleth Castle LCC-Garheim by Tasty Muffins

It can be very hard to make a castle without any of the infamous big grey wall syndrome. While this MOC by Tasty Muffins may have a little BGWS, it is pulled off in a very architectural way. That's something hard to do.

See it on Mocpages.

Mr. Banana & The Mexican's Biscuits

If this isn't NPU (Nice part usage), I don't know what is. Seriously, the idea of using the Death Star as a blender is fantastic! And the banana is one big "WOW!"

See it on Mocpages.

LEGO Monster Fighters Now Available From S@H

After TRU got the new Monster Fighters sets we knew it was only a matter of time before LEGO released them. "The time has come!" The walrus said... Never mind.

But yes, they are available on Shop@Home. Go there by clicking here. It's a perfect time to get them as the free Hulk minifigure deal is still on.

Go buy yourself some ABS plastic if you dare!

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang by Sir Nadroj

Posh with a capital P-O-S-H Posh! 

Excellent rendition of this iconic car from the all-time great family movie Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The engine design is just gorgeous!

If you haven't seen this movie, I highly recommend you watch it. Yeah, it's an old movie, but if you want some laughs, check it out!

See it on M-O-C Pages!

LEGO Team GB Collectible Minifigures

We've already seen some pictures of the LEGO Team GB Collectible Minifigures, but what's wrong with seeing more!?

These figures look fabulous! I think LEGO has put a lot of work into designing these, maybe even more work than Series 7. The colors on these is just fantastic! The great blue, red and yellow work together for a stunning completion.

I am so excited for the Olympics! It has been four long years since Beijing, and I can't wait to see the games again. And now it's barely two months away!

May 16th Promotions at Shop@Home

From now until the first day of June, all orders over $50 at LEGO Shop@Home or the LEGO store will include a free Hulk minifigure. You can see for yourself how cool he is by looking at the banner above. Get it? Banner? Bruce Banner? I actually didn't set that up, it just happened. (If you didn't get the pun, go to the Hulk's Wikipedia page)

This deal is good for ALL LEGO orders. Not just Marvel ones. Get them now before they're gone!
I will be placing my order later today, and you'll see a review up here in a week or so. Make a guess as to which set. I'll give you a hint: The set includes 5 minifigures.
