While my personal interest in football is so infinitesimally small it's functionally immeasurable I can appreciate other's interest and enthusiasm for the World Cup. And while I couldn't tell you a single statistic about the current tournament (even if you refer to it as a "tournament" really) I can totally get into this LEGO version of the mascot Zabivaka by builder vir-a-cocha.  Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

The US is currently getting warm, quite warm, and it's going to get warmer. There's a major heatwave building here in the midwest and northeast, with record highs predicted. This of course poses a serious threat, warped and melted bricks. Do not leave your bricks or creations in your car, or they could end up like this melty offering by cmaddison. Oh and you humans out there, drink lots of water, limit outdoor activity and stay inside and play with LEGO. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

This looks like a pretty good plant for my house. For one, thanks to the building skills of Takamichi Irie, it's beautiful. It's also interesting, a moss covered ball of soil with a decorative plant growing out of it. And it's plastic, so I can't kill it. Actually, come to think of it, it's LEGO so it's delicate...it's doomed at my house. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

It's tough being a genius billionaire playboy philanthropist superhero sometimes, and people don't necessarily understand your point of view.  But Pepper Potts certainly did.  In the first couple of Ironman movies, at least.  That's why she came up with this novel gift idea for Tony;  his first-gen arc reactor, on display for all to see.  Didier Burtin has faithfully recreated the advanced piece of technology and heartwarming memento in LEGO form.  Nice!  Original linkOriginal author: El Barto
