When I saw this awesome Nerdly MOC from Colin Hemmen on Facebook the first thing I thought of was a 1950's movie poster. If I had more time this morning I would already be in Photoshop, but I don't. Perhaps you do, I'd love to see this thing on a movie posters or pulp novel, you have the chops? I might even have some prizes, who knows? Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

I wish my guardian spirit was a dragon. I've become convinced over the years that it is indeed a sloth, and does no protecting. While I like sloths, this dragon by dviddy is way cooler. He sort of reminds me of Mushu from Mulan, but a more badass version. The mix of Hero Factory and System elements is spot on here, nicely done. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

It's been a while since we've featured a good tilted timbers build here, thankfully builder jaapxaap is there to give us our fix with this wonderfully disheveled, colorful dwelling. The color palette on this is stunning and eye-grabbing, while still feeling somewhat natural. Considering the colors chosen this is not logical, but really works. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

I'm not certain the chap in the cape started his day thinking it would end badly, but in this cleverly arranged moment by Jme Wheeler, that outlook certainly changed. With his compatriots felled, the last thought our soon-to-be smudged friend likely had was, "Why didn't I wear my brown pants?" Original linkOriginal author: Will Nickelson

The LEGO brick is 60, and the minifigure is 40, and I'm right in the middle between them. I'm not sure what the significance of that is, but I find it interesting. It also means I was the perfect age when the Minifigure was introduced, and I've loved them ever since. And I'm not alone in that love, the world has been captivated with LEGO for over half a century, and Newsweek is celebrating that with a special edition. They were kind enough to send us a preview issue, and let me tell you, you're all in for a treat. It hits newsstands next week, be sure to pick up an issue or order it here.
