CUUSOO: The Winchester - Shaun Of The Dead Reaches 10,000 Supporters

And yet another LEGO CUUSOO project reaches 10,000 supporters. The Winchester - Shaun Of The Dead was submitted by Yatkuu less than three months ago. This goes to show how quickly CUUSOO projects can reach 10,00 supporters.

This is just the 4th of hopefully many projects turned into sets.

I think a lot of fans will be excited about this set. Finally we shall receive zombies in large quantities.

Marvel Mini-fig Poster

This poster appears on the back of the Marvel Super Heroes instruction manuals. Take a good look at it. Have you noticed yet? In the top corner is Spiderman, Doc Ock and Iron Fist. These three figs will appear in 8673 Spiderman's Doc Ock Ambush.

Thanks to Sara Hollins on Flickr for the image.

LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes Videogame Cover Art

Looks pretty cool. I can't wait to see some trailers for this.

LEGO Avengers Poster

This is an excellent rendition of the Avengers movie poster. Probably one of my favorite movie poster renditions in bricks.

Nottingham Wall by Paul Vermeesch

This may be on MOCpages, but it is actually an amazing brickfilm! This is what I call a very good short film with some great animation!

Made by Paul Vermeesch, with the music by Max Pointner.

See it on Mocpages.

The Romans Stole My Homework by LukeClarenceVan The Revanchist

This MOC is just one scene from a hilarious story made by LukeClarenceVan The Revanchist on Mocpages.

I definitely advise checking it out.

See it on Mocpages.

The Grey Havens by Infomaniac --

This scene by Infomaniac is very impressive, and there is some great forced perspective work done here!

Just looking at it makes me want to watch The Lord Of The Rings again.

See it on Mocpages.

Series 7 Review on Eurobricks

Those of you that frequently check Eurobricks have probably noticed that Whitefang has done excellent reviews on all the Collectible Minifigures. 

Well, he has done it again! This time you can see the entire Series 7 in another masterful review.

Head over to Eurobricks, or see it here.

Irruini Manor by Daniel Z "DNL"

I'm loving the wood work! Everything about this MOC is great!

See it on Mocpages.

TRON LIGHT CYCLE by Peter Mowry

Tron Legacy was more than just a fun adventure movie, the vehicles were purely amazing and the film left most LEGO builders with an aching to build.

It's hard to pull off these great vehicles, but Peter Mowry may have made the best possible LEGO Light Cycle ever!

See it on Mocpages or Flickr.

Marvel Mini Site Live on LEGO.com

The Marvel mini site is now live on LEGO.com. Not that much to see other than the mini-figs. But that's okay because the mini-figs are amazing!

I am really looking forward to this theme!

New DK Books For 2012

                         

              

We've got a whole new wave of DK books headed our way this fall:

                                                    

LEGO Batman: The Visual Dictionary

LEGO Ninjago: Character Encyclopedia

Ultimate Sticker Collection: LEGO Batman

LEGO Friends: Brickmaster

I don't understand what the big deal is with the character encyclopedias, they have great pictures and all, but most of the information is already known by at least 50% of LEGO fans, and I have found several errors in the information too.

I'm still gonna get them though. After all, they are collectors items.

LEGO CUUSOO: Modular Apple Store

CUUSOO projects can have their fazes, but some are here to make an imprint.

I present for your example, Modular Apple Store. This project was added by Gotoandbuild on CUUSOO and it is definitely something worth supporting. From the i-phones, to the pictures on the walls, even to the trashcan in front, this building packs a punch!

It is currently sitting at 1,406 supporters, but you can bet that this number will raise drastically.

Get over and support it Here.

None Shall Enter! by Jade Wisniewski

Just look at those walls! I've never seen anything like it.

See it on Mocpages.
