Builder Kingmarshy is getting a little ahead of himself since it's still Year of the Dog, but this entry for the Bio-Cup contest looks like a winner to me!  I'm normally not a Bionicle fan, but this gluttonous creature, Zhu Bajie the Pig, and the fancy spread he's enjoying has a great blend of system parts, really bringing him to life.  And even though Kingmarshy spent quite a bit of time on this awesome creation, he was actually ready to build something else in a half an hour.

I don't know what this robot's job is, based on his proportions I'm guessing picking up and moving large, heavy stuff. I mean, just look at the size of those hands, they're huge. It turns out that's where this MOC by m_o_n_k_e_y started, with his hands, and the rest took shape over time.  Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Last year’s LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (75187) is a pretty nice set and was popular with the fans and it looks like we have another larger scale character to look forward to. An Ukrainian online shop has listed a new LEGO Star Wars Porg (75230) that we can expect soon. The details of the set are still unknown at this time but we can see it does have an opening mouth as one of the play features. It also comes with the UCS-style plaque for the Porg. **Promobricks** The post LEGO Star Wars Porg (75230) Revealed appeared first on The Brick Fan.
