In a nice surprise, Amazon has listed a previously unknown summer 2018 LEGO City set with the Capital (60200). The details regarding the pricing and piece count are not known at this time but it looks to be in the scale of the previous large-scale City sets like the Town Square and City Square (60097). Included in this set are thirteen minifigures, a double-decker bus, a four-wheel crane, and some smaller vehicles. There’s also a mobile ice cream cart along with a standalone hot dog stand as well. There’s also a small skate ramp with a basket on one side but the bigger buildings include a museum and a hotel. This is the first time that the double-decker bus and a hotel has appeared in a LEGO City set. **Via Brickset** The post LEGO City Summer 2018 Capital (60200) Revealed appeared first on The Brick Fan.

I've always loved Jawas, especially the plastic cape one I had as a kid, and gave away to the kid down the street, along with the rest of my collection, and a Death Star play set (12 year old me was a frickin' idiot). Builder sadovich7.9 has captured the best Jawa in LEGO I've ever seen, thanks to the diligent use of five Obi-Wan capes and what had to be a load of patience.  Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

First let me say that bigger isn't always better, but sometimes it's certainly an attention getter. I had the pleasure of seeing this incredible castle by fraserratzlaff in person at BrickCon, and I know my initial reaction was a sincere and appreciative low whistle to myself, with a quiet "whoa, that's big". But that's just the initial reaction, after that was several minutes of eye feasting. It's so big that even with three large photos here, you haven't seen nearly all of it. I invite you to click though, and do some feasting for yourself. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy
