Where are we dropping, boys? Daniel Church shows his love for the wildly popular multiplayer Battle Royale mode in Fortnite with his LEGO rendition of the Battle Bus. The blue bus is well detailed, cleverly utilizing minifigure metal detectors as rearview mirrors and with overall shaping on point. Combined with a detailed hot air balloon rig and mount, his Battle Bus model looks straight out of the game. Daniel documented the build process, giving us a cool look into how he developed the shaping and the techniques employed beneath the blue skin. You can check out more in Daniel’s Imgur album.

Lego has just revealed two new sets from the Wizarding World of Harry Potter: one from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, featuring Aragog the spider, and another from Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindewald, which is the latest of the sets being released for this November’s new movie (following 75951 Grindelwald’s Escape). These sets should be available this August as part of the summer wave. Lego Fantastic Beasts 75952 – Newt’s Case of Magical Creatures | 694 Pieces | $49.99 This set conveniently features the whole main gang from the Fantastic Beasts movie, while the builds themselves look beautiful, with the different magical creatures bringing interesting splashes of color to the transforming suitcase. However, if you look closely you may be able to spot the true star of this set, the molded minifig-scale niffler. It’s also a great deal with nearly 700 pieces for only $50 USD. Step into...

A striking turn-of-the-century style dreadnought, the CWS Bannanaville is outfitted with more armaments than you could hope to face if she decides to give you a broadside. Designed by Thomas of Tortuga, this fictional fleet-leader is one of the best examples of microscale warship building I’ve seen, with lots of perfect little details. Because of how perfectly it fits, the one I like best is the use  of the “cheese grater” 1×2 slopes for ladders between the decks. It’s a remarkably good render, to boot.

Now that the film is out, LEGO is delving deeper into the plot of Solo: A Star Wars Story, revealing three new sets on Amazon UK. All three are part of a key action scene in the movie where smugglers attempt to pull off an epic heist, but for those who haven’t yet seen the film, they’re mostly spoiler-free, as they don’t reveal much more than the trailers did. LEGO Star Wars 75215 Cloud-Rider Swoop Bikes | 355 pieces This set features Enfys Nest’s Cloud-Riders or Mauraders as they try for an easy target of coaxium. The set includes 2 speeders and 3 minifigures: Tobias Beckett, Enfys Nest, and Weazel. LEGO Star Wars 75217 Imperial Conveyex Transport | 622 pieces This set features the Imperial coxaium hauler with an engine and one cargo car. It trades the monorail track for a treaded track beneath the engine. It includes 5 minifigures: Chewbacca, Han Solo, 2 Range...

The dragon is a common fantasy trope, but they’re hard to tire of because they come in so many wonderful varieties. This dragon, by Henjin_Quilones, is named Kijani the Earth Dragon. With a sand green color scheme similar to the Ninjago Green Ninja Mech Dragon, this beast has a totally different look. It even uses that set’s sculpted snout piece, but moves the eyes forward a bit, giving it a cute, stubby face befitting a dragon used to nosing about the earth. Henjin says the dragon is fully articulated, from the toes to the wings. The double base is also a great effect here, with a big of earthy terrain and a more polished-looking smooth black rectangle beneath.
