We can thank the LEGO Ideas crowdsourcing platform, because a new Voltron Lego set will be introduced at SDCC in July. After that it will be made available to all starting 8/1/18. The set has 2321 pieces and naturally has five lions that can be combined to form a 15″ Voltron. Sweet!

Holy building bricks Batman! This LEGO Batcave is so amazing only Bruce Wayne could afford it. This six-foot-tall recreation of Wayne Manor and the Batcave was assembled from over 100,000 bricks. The creator thinks. It’s not easy to keep track of as you can imagine. Brent Waller has been working on this masterpiece for a while. There is a carousel of Batmobiles, the familiar dinosaur and all kinds of other nice touches from the comics and the movies. And Wayne Manor sits on top of it all. It is sooooo beautiful. They should have sent a poet…

LEGO’s new Tron: Legacy light cycles set is almost here. This began life on LEGO Ideas and now it is a real product. LEGO Ideas is where all of the best sets come from lately. The set includes two light cycles, and three minifigure versions of Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), Quorra (Olivia Wilde), and Rinzler (Anis Cheurfa), along with identity discs. Those light cycles are looking sharp. The set is 230 pieces in all. That’s a small set, but one with very impressive details. It will be available on March 31st.
And you thought that stepping on LEGO bricks hurt. That’s nothing compared to the hurt this amazing LEGO Predator can dish out. It is the work of Shawn Snyder. It must have taken him a long time to complete this masterpiece. So detailed. So deadly!
These Marvel and DC LEGO superheroes by Hong Kong-based artist TKH are really amazing. I’m really surprised that LEGO didn’t think of selling this style first. These figures would be a huge hit. He really did an amazing job with all of the detail too.

This is a homemade version of the 2007 Ultimate Collectors Series Lego Millennium Falcon,created by Mike Marrocco of Bethesda, Maryland back in 2015. When the set went out of print, he couldn’t justify the rising costs so he built his own version. He found the parts list online and proceeded to buy each part in the brightest colors he could get. The end result is a super colorful ride for Captain Solo.

Back when Star Trek: The Next Generation was airing LEGO wasn’t licensing movies and TV shows so we missed out on some really great toys. Star Trek: TNG has never officially been available in LEGO form, but I suspect they would have looked a lot like these custom Star Trek TNG minifigures if they had been released at the time.
This eight-figure set includes Wesley Crusher, Lt. Commander Data, Dr. Beverly Crusher, Cmdr. William Riker, Capt. Jean-Luc Picard, Counselor Deanna Troi, Lt. Cmdr. Geordi La Forge, and Lieutenant Worf. They are compatible with your existing plastic brick collections, even though they are not official. You can get a version with more natural skin tones for around $100, or the more traditional yellow skin tones, for around $94. You can also just buy them for $15-$16 individually.

Shanks FX is here to show you how to build Kylo Ren’s LEGO TIE Fighter using nothing but the power of the force. And some clever stop motion if we’re honest. Seeing the Ravager being built in this way is oddly satisfying. The sound effects really make all of the difference. Very cool.
Have you ever wanted to attach a rocket to a discontinued 50 inch LEGO Star Destroyer? I know it’s crossed my mind before, but admittedly, I’m a bit strange. Well, this guy did it just for the hell of it. These Star destroyers are hard to find and expensive, but some people just like to watch the world burn. He doesn’t think twice about just attaching a rocket to it and launching it into a wall at 67 MPH. The actual moment of impact is pretty awesome though and well worth it.
This amazing LEGO BB-8 is the perfect addition to your Star Wars collection and it makes a great gift. This LEGO model consists of 1106 Lego bricks and measures over 9″ X 5″ wide. It looks like an awesome build of the roly-poly droid. It features authentic detailing, and a wheel-activated rotating head as well as an opening hatch with a non-functioning welding torch.
