Introducing Monster’s Marvel Mixel Masterpieces – The Sentinel Series

July 20, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

With San Diego Comic Con 2014 around the corner, many people are building things to commemorate the event like Jason Daubert who built a number of pop cultural characters as CubeDudes. Another member of SandLUG, Matt Armstrong, aka MonsterBrick, has created some comic book characters with LEGO as part of his “Monster’s Marvel Mixel Masterpieces – The Sentinel Series.”

These characters are created by using the new LEGO Mixels joints and well as some building features of the Sentinel from the LEGO Marvel X-Men vs. The Sentinel (76022). Click through to see larger images of these cool creations. Don’t worry Matt, I’ll try to make it to the LUG meetings one of these days.

San Diego Comic Con 2014 LEGO Store Community Window

July 12, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

Fashion Valley LEGO Store Community Window

San Diego Comic Con 2014 is upon us and my LEGO Store in Fashion Valley has gotten into the mood as well with their latest community window change out. This month’s window is centered towards the geekiness that is Comic Con with contributions by fellow SandLUG members Jason and Mariann. Jason, known for his CubeDudes creations, has built a number of pop culture characters from different TV series and movies including Batman: The Animated Series, Doctor Who, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Avengers, and Star Wars. If you look closely, you can also see Baymax from the upcoming Walt Disney animated movie, Big Hero 6. As you can see, he has done an amazing job on all the characters and it shows with a bit of imagination and creativity, you can build almost anything.

Mariann’s contribution to the window is her mosaic portrait of Doctor Who’s 11th Doctor, Matt Smith. In this type of mosaic, she is able to capture the portrait using the sides of the LEGO elements rather than the traditional studs up method of creating a mosaic. You can check out how Mariann created the portrait on her Flickr where she shows a blueprint of the complicated process. I’ve seen images of the mosaic before but to see it in person makes it even cooler.

If you’re going to be here for SDCC 2014, I highly recommend checking out the community window at the LEGO Store here in Fashion Valley Mall. You can easily take the trolley from the convention center … Continue

LEGO Mobile Suit Gundam by Orion Pax

July 11, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

As a fan of LEGO and Mobile Suit Gundam, Alex Jones, aka Orion Pax, has hit the spot with his creation of of the Mobile Suit Gundam RX-78-2. During Alex’s trip to Taipei this year, he caught Gundam fever along with millions of us. The RX-78-2 is one of the most recognizable mobile suits in the series and this LEGO version of it is absolutely remarkable.

Alex has also created a number of accessories to go along with with the suit including a “beam” saber, the RX*M-Sh-008/S-01025 shield, and even a hanger bay for it. All the details are so realistic that you wouldn’t think that they’re made out of LEGO. Head over to Alex’s website to see more images of his creation.

LEGO The Simpsons Springfield by Pepa Quin

June 28, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Earlier this year, we featured Matt De Lanoy (Pepa Quin) on the site before with his LEGO The Simpsons build of The Android’s Dungeon & Baseball Card Shop as his Iron Builder model. Matt’s been hard at work following that in preparation for Brickworld Chicago 2014 and there, he unveiled the town of Springfield completely in LEGO. His layout included many well-known locations from The Simpsons TV show including Krusty Burger, the Kwik-E-Mart, Moe’s Tavern, and the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. I’ve only shown a few of the builds below but head over to Matt’s Flickr album to see all of his buildings of Springfield.

LEGO Ghostbusters MOCs by Brent Waller

June 24, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Brent Waller over on 1980s Something has done a video showing off all his LEGO builds pertaining to everything Ghostbusters and details for each of the builds. First off is his rendition of the Temple of Gozer which is the last scene of the first movie. It shows the Ghostbusters facing off against Gozer with the Terror Dogs on each side of the building.

The next is a 48×48 mosaic of the No Ghost logo. Nothing too fancy but it is impressive nonetheless.

Next is the original 1959 Cadillac that was bought by Ray Stantz for $4,800 which eventually turned into the Ecto-1. It is a pretty much a color swap from the official Ecto-1 set and some minor changes to the chassis.

After that, Brent showed off the Ecto-1a which was the vehicle from Ghostbusters II and it was a modification of the official set with some changes on the top and the sides of the car. He has provided the LDD file for it if you want to make your own.

The next version of the Ecto-1 is the official one but he added model train flashing lights to it to give the car some more flair.

Up next is Brent’s original Ecto-1 and minifigures that he had submitted on LEGO CUUSOO/Ideas.

The final version of the Ecto-1 that Brent has build was the one that he created when he was 10 years old. It has the classic 80’s vehicle look that the older generation of builders remember.

The next build that Brent … Continue

LEGO Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters V2 by Sergio Herencias

June 23, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

A few months ago, we featured a LEGO Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters MOC by Sergio Herencias which is inspired by Brent Waller’s version. Sergio has emailed me and said that he has updated the interiors of the firehouse with many details from the Ghostbusters movies including Egon’s lab, recreation area, and the containment unit/storage facility/protection grid. The MOC has 5,704 LEGO pieces so if you think you have enough parts, Sergio has kindly provided the LDD file on his website for free. You can also check out all the firehouse’s new details and features on the same page.

Also, the first version of Sergio’s Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters is currently on LEGO Ideas and has garnered 3,105 supporters as of this writing so if you want to give your support on the project, you can head over there and do so.
