Step right up

Mariann Asanuma has a great carnival booth. I'm jealous of her collection of karate trophies.

Eurobricks Collectable LEGO Minifigures Series 2 Building Contest

Over on Eurobricks they are holding a contest to highlight the Series 2 Collectible Minifigs. In Category A, participants were challenged to build an 8x8 vig to display one of the newest figs. In Category B, people built 16x16 vigs to show the interaction between figs from Series 1 and Series 2. Key to this contest is that the Series 2 fig was not supposed to be actually included in the MOC, so the viewers were to imagine its inclusion. You still have a few days to build and submit an entry, so get busy this weekend. For instance:

For the witch:

For the surfer dude:

Checkmate

Icgetaway made a great Star Wars themed chess set. Several of the pieces are actually small vigs.

Now and forever

From Rick-ricks:
Cedric reached out his blood-stained hand towards the image of his deceased wife.
“It’s time to go now,” Mary whispered.
“My wife.”
“Now and forever in heaven my love.”

Collectibles

Cecilihf has created a modular display, with individual vignettes featuring each of the first two waves of Collectible Minifigures.

TLF contest

Over on Teen LEGO Fans they are holding a vignette contest. If you're a teen, you should join in the fun. Right now the only entry is Gecko's My bridge!

Pieces of eight

Forbidden Cove is celebrating their second anniversary by holding a Pieces of Eight Contest. This vignette contest has a really short deadline, so you only have a few days to build something. The first entries are Nanuck's What I heard in the Apple Barrel, Shmails' Newbie and Porschecm2's Pirate Aura.

Is ABS recyclable?

Imagelego presents a waste collector.

Will you ...?

Perhaps congratulations are in order for bren92787, at least if this proposal vignette is autobiographical.

Someone forgot the Prime Directive

Darkbln's ARC-002 tends to surprise the natives.

Cracks of Doom

Legoorci shows us a slightly different take on Frodo at the Cracks of Doom.

Mirror mirror on the wall

Brikmasta has a series called Drew and the Mirror Man.

Uh-oh

Rhox posts about a Graverobber's bad day.

Surreal

Lord High Nerd tried his hand at some surrealist vigs. There is obviously some influence by Nannan here, but the result is quite nice.

LEGO blogging

I started a topic on LEGO blogging over on Classic-Castle. I'd like to invite anyone, particularly if you have your own blog, to add your thoughts. If you're not a member of Classic-Castle, it's really easy to sign up, just fill in a few blanks and within a day a friendly site admin :) will approve you.

Dr. Hasn't a Clue

Not sure how I missed blogging this, as I've certainly seen the MOCs. Dr. Sinister has been posting a series called Doctor Hasn't a Clue based on a somewhat stupid time lord who's always getting himself into crazy predicaments and landing his Tardis in the wrong places. You really have to go to Dr. Sinister's page to read his extensive descriptions of each scene.

Creepy

It looks like Delatron3000 might have problems sleeping, because of the Beasts under the bed.

Happy Fourth of July

Sam(us) celebrates with some fireworks.

License to build

Last week was the BrickWorld convention in Chicago. One of the attendees (could anyone supply the name?) made this nice homage to James Bond.

Just another LEGO in the wall

Following along with the idea of MOCing song lyrics, Gabbey Road J-Walker has a series of Pink Floyd vigs including Bring the Boys Back Home, Us and Them, and Any Colour You Like.
