A day in the park

The EB Star Wars Forums stream has this great scene: A Day in the Park.

Mini Modulars

Over on Brickset they note that set 10230, Mini-Modulars that was announced last year (at BrickCon?) is now available on lego.com. Apparently for the moment this is for LEGO VIP's only.

War of the Tiny Little Worlds

Bricko presents this great little War of the Worlds scene. Via Brickd.

Aloft

Titolian has taken floating rocks into different scales. A couple of weeks ago he made aloft, and then today took that same scene and shrank it further.

Mountain temple

James Pegrum's gorgeous Temple of Jugatinus was built for the micro temple challenge.

Launch Pattern Alpha

Tervlon made this Yavin-esque scene.

Dai Yum Corp HQ

Lemon boy made a great galactic headquarters for Dai Yum Corporation.

Trade Federation Battleship

Xinjack made a great version of the Trade Federation Battleship.

Tuskegee airmen

Tbone-tbl posted this great P51 Mustang.

Dwarven stronghold

LukeClarenceVan The Revanchist made this awesome dwarven stronghold.

Any old port in a space-storm

Captain Limabean made this port.

These are the microvoyages of the Starship Enterprise

Elephant Knight has made a fleet of Star Trek ships.

Architecture competition

King Darconius is judging some towers (here by si-mocs).

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.
