There’s a gentle wave lapping at the shore as you gaze out over the panoramic deep blue ocean. Swedish builder Magnus has chosen to maximise the view by building his beach house on stilts. Although the focus of the build is the beach house, my own favourite part is the use of the minifigure lifeguard float as a dingy sitting by the dock. The palm tree is also a nice touch, with clever use of the 4-leaf plant part to bring a touch of tropical flora to the scene. I hope those foundations are deep, as we all know what happened to the man who built his house upon the sand… The post A beach scene that will float your boat appeared first on The Brothers Brick.

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been fascinated with creepy crawlies, but dragonflies were always a favorite. I love how they’d appear to defy gravity as they hovered above the rippling water. Takamichi Irie has recreated this iconic insect with a ‘handful’ of minifig parts (note all the minifigure hands used as connectors on the wings), some flex tube and a sprinkling of blue and black elements. With some sharp photography and clever use of lighting, it even appears to be hovering; all that is missing is the water.

Soundwave was always one of my favourite Decepticons as he was unusually cool-sounding and had additional tiny transformers stored inside himself in cassette form. One un-glamourous thing was his alternate mode — he turned into a boombox of all things! Your superpower is to blend in to very unique situations! Thankfully, he spent most of his time in ‘bot’ mode. This incredible transformable build by Moko really is quite a feat. Not only does it morph into the boombox, but it comes complete with Ravage, Rumble, Buzzsaw, and Frenzy. And yes, eagle-eyed fans will notice that if you ever need extra juice, there are some energon cubes to grab as loot!

Now this is a wholesome, back-to-basics cargo-sorting set that can hang with the best of all time.  Great play value, easily adds to many other themes of the past & present, modern builds, generic, but good-looking minifigures, and a surprisingly reasonable price to part ratio, to boot.Video: LEGO City 2017 Cargo Terminal review ? 60169Original linkOriginal author: theJANG

I like NEXO Knights.  I like minifig booster packs.  I liked even the last NEXO Knights minifig booster pack from this season, when they brought the number of figures down to 3.  This one, though, doesn't seem worth the price at all.  Even if it was cheaper, it's still disappointing with the stripped-down selection of reused figure parts and basic accessories.Video: LEGO NEXO Knights Stone Monster Accessory Pack review! 853677Original linkOriginal author: theJANG
