San Diego – Fashion Valley October 2014 LEGO Community Window

LEGO Community Window - San Diego

To get in the Halloween mood, the LEGO Community Window at my LEGO Brand Store (Fashion Valley) has been updated by a couple of members from SandLUG. This month, we have Spooky Ville! which is a haunted house filled with a number of CubeDudes built by Jason which he names CubeCreatures. As you can see, the Creatures are based on monsters that you probably would see during Halloween time like Dracula, the Bride of Dracula, the Mummy, the Wolf Man, the Blob, the Frankenstein Monster, the Bride of Frankenstein, the Headless Horseman, the Swamp Thing, and many more. I’ve been informed that a couple of the characters were built by Hao as well.

The haunted house itself is created by Hao and Tommy and has some interesting details like the way they created the cemetery headstone in the shape of a cross using a TECHNIC belt wheel and modified 1×1’s with clip.

If you’re in the area and have some free time, I highly suggest swinging by the store to check out the LEGO Community Window and see it in person because the pictures really don’t do it justice.

LEGO 1966 Batmobile (LED Lites Scale) by Orion Pax

What happens when you give Alex Jones (Orion Pax) some Batman and Robin LEGO DC Super Heroes LED Lites? In collaboration with BRICK Works Taipei, he goes on to create the 1966 Batmobile in the scale of the minifigure LED Lites and it looks absolutely amazing. As you may know, the LED Lites are a bit large so the vehicle is fairly large sized. The amount of detail that Alex has put into the Batmobile is incredible from the Bat symbols on the hubcaps to the parachute packs in the back. Check out more images of the 1966 Batmobile in Alex’s gallery.

LEGO Cloud Cuckoo Palace Unikitty Mech

News have been kind of slow lately but I did see this from my Instagram feed and it was worth mentioning since I’m into mech-type builds. What happens when you combine the cuteness of Unikitty with the menacing look of a LEGO mech suit? The end result is something that Martin Gee has created out of the Cloud Cuckoo Palace (70803), Architecture Studio (21050), and the Legends of Chima Wolf Legend Beast (70127). The cuteness will destroy you!

LEGO Remote-Controlled Batpod by Sariel

You may have heard of Sariel and all of the cool LEGO remote control vehicles that he creates. Well, he’s back and this time he has created the Batpod from The Dark Knight movie. The tires that he used are from the new LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes The Tumbler (76023). He also added some Lifelites LEDs in the front cannons. The coolest feature is probably the remote control aspect of it. To add some more authenticity to the vehicle, Sariel added the Batman Ultrabuild (4526) figure to ride it. Check out how Sariel created the Batpod as well as more pictures of the vehicle over on his site.

The LEGO Super Friends Project by Jon Lazar

The LEGO Super Friends Project Completed

There are many people in the LEGO community who do custom minifigures and accessories. What I haven’t seen before (as of this writing) are custom mini-dolls from the LEGO Friends line but Jon Lazar has changed that. What he has done is he has created Super Hero/Villain characters using the mini-dolls from the Friends line and has dubbed them The LEGO Super Friends Project.

During the month of July, he has created an unique character each day and as a result, there are a total of 31 heroes and villains that resemble their comic book counterparts remarkably well. I especially like some of the X-Men characters like Rogue, Psylocke, and Jubilee. If you want to purchase some of them, Jon does have some of them on Etsy or you can commission him to do some. Check out the images of the characters below.
