Need to take a few weeks off. I’m heading to the video game conference E3 in just over a week, and need the extra time to prepare. You can follow my E3 coverage at EveryJoe.com and Wired.com/GeekDad. I’ll be back here with lots more LEGO goodness when I return home.
(And I hope to get a hands-on look at Lego Universe Online while I’m there, so stay tuned!)

Okay. So this thing is unquestionably cool. That’s a given. I mean, just look at it. Definitely one of the best MOCs ever. But what it is, exactly…? Haven’t got a clue. There’s a really long story that builder Nannan Z. (a Certified LEGO Ambassador) wrote to go along with it, but the story is vague and doesn’t offer an explanation.
If I had to guess, I’d say the Borg have landed and are slowly assimilating Syberia.

This clever image, depicting a LEGO dimensional portal, has not been photoshopped in any way. The builder used dramatic lighting and glow-in-the-dark bricks to create this awesome scene. See more views here.

The HMS Prince of Wales looks ready to sail the open seas. The builder took 6 months to craft this fine piece, and focused especially on historical accuracy. See high-res close-ups of all the details — including hand-roped rigging and real sails — at his Flickr page.

This is just plain cool. It’s the head of Darth Vader, made entirely out of Bionicle pieces. You’ll want to check out the high-res version to really appreciate the intricacy of how it’s all fit together. Truly amazing.

Found this one on BrickShelf. It’s a rock quarry kind of thing titled “Coal Loader.” It even comes with its own train! Hit the link for lots more views.

Enterprising BrickShelf member avenged110 attended the New York Toy Fair and posted images of the new LEGO Star Wars sets that are set to be released this August. Take a look! There are tons more images, including close-ups of the models and minifigs.

Okay, I have no idea who made this scale replica of a license plate, but it appears to have been photographed actually attached to the outside of a car that was parked at LEGOLAND California. A close-up view of the build shows it is definitely made of LEGO Bricks. Whoever built this and affixed it to their Volvo… LEGO News salutes you. Pure genius!
