Jackie Britton

I've been totally remiss in not posting about Jackie Britton. Her amazing world-wide exploration is back on, and for the past three months she's been in Central and South America, seeing Unesco World Heritage sites like Qiuto and Tikal.

Over on Brickd I saw this great Armadillo and Mammoth by CommanderHawk.

That's no moon

LEGO has come up with another interesting series for micro builders, the Star Wars Planets sets. The first series consists of 9674-1: Naboo Starfighter & Naboo, 9675-1: Sebulba's Podracer & Tatooine and 9676-1: TIE Interceptor & Death Star. Each of these sets has a minifig, a microscale vehicle, and, at probably the smallest scale ever in a LEGO set, and 11-wide planet (or space station). This is the most scale mixing we've seen in an official set since, I believe, 7468, Saturn V Moon Mission. The ships are nice - I particularly like the TIE Interceptor, but those planets will be interesting elements. I'm sure we'll see builders put these to use in forced perspective scenes in space battles. Probably the most obvious application I see, given that I just packed away my Christmas decorations, is to make a Star Wars themed Christmas tree next year, with micro ships and these planets as ornaments. There's apparently another series coming out this summer, so I look forward to seeing what those are like.

Battle of Hoth

Battle of Hoth is an upcoming game release from LEGO. No clue what game play will be like, but I see microfigs of almost every major character, including Hoth Han, Chewie, Darth Vader, Snowtroopers, Luke in a flight suit (okay, well, some rebel in a flight suit), Boba Fett (huh? he wasn't at the battle), and others, plus micro versions of an AT-AT, an AT-ST, a Snowspeeder, and a Tauntaun. I'll bet every Star Wars fan will want this, regardless of how the game works.

Merry Christmas

I've featured Joe Meno's Nativity before, but it's the best micro for the day. Merry Christmas, one and all.

Kurrendesänger

Kurrendesänger (here by Jojo) are either wandering carolers, or little wooden figurines of carolers found as decorations in German homes.

Twas the MOC before Christmas

From Tony Sava
Twas The MOC Before Christmas
When what on my wandering tracks should appear,
But a mini-scale coach, and eight tiny traindeer,

With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
More rapid than diesels his engines they came!
While they whistled, he shouted and called them by name:

"Now, Zephyr! now, Memphis! now, Empire and Bullet!
On, Comet! on, Chieftain! on, Daylight and Rocket!
To the end of the line! Slip the brake and highball!
Now chug away! chug away! chug away all!"

Kepler

Adrian Florea made this great scene.

Let's go for a drive

V&A Steamworks has an ongoing Cabinet of Curiosities project, where he invites other AFOLs to contribute small MOCs to a group display. Tim Gould made this great car.
