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.

June 19, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Our friends over at Beyond the Brick has released a new video featuring a guided tour of Brickworld Chicago 2014. In the one and half hour video, Joshua Hanlon and Matthew Kay shows off all the MOCs that were in the display hall during the LEGO convention. For those who didn’t have a chance to go this year like me, I appreciate the effort the guys put into the production of the video. For a few of the builds, there will also be in-depth video of the MOC itself as well as interviews with the builders as well. Stay tuned to Beyond the Brick in the new few days as they upload more content from Brickworld Chicago 2014.
