At a Lego Fan Event in Lisbon Portugal Lego has unveiled a new exclusive Lord of the Rings set.<br />
<br />
It is the 10237 The Tower of Orthanc. This is one of the most iconic structures in the LOTR movies and is the literal centerpiece in the Battle of Isengard.<br />
<br />
Also in this battle were the Ents so we are glad to see an Ent in this exciting set.<br />
<br />
There are five minifigures in this set:<br />
Saruman<br />
Grima Wormtongue<br />
Gandalf the Grey<br />
Uruk-hai<br />
Orc Pitmaster<br />
<br />
Besides the minifigures there are the Ent, a brick built figure, and the eagle, special mold.<br />
<br />
The entire set is 2359 pieces and stands 73 centimeters high. Check out more images on the Brickset <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/92090133@N04/sets/72157633356881658/with/8682586931/" target="_blank">Photostream</a>.<br />
<br />
The designer video was also released this weekend:<br />

Flicker user "RedCoKid" has created a beautiful baseball stadium called the Green Gables Stadium.<br />
<br />
The stadium is built in a circle and with a domed top. The circle is shaped by 24 sections fitted together by hinge bricks and Technic parts.<br />
<br />
The facade design is very nice, it looks a lot like the classic stadiums still in use today.<br />
<br />

Collecting minifigures, especially the licensed and "collectible" ones, is something most Afols and other Lego fans love to do.<br />
<br />
Flickr user "Vanjey_Lego" has been collecting all variations of different characters. Above are all the Jack Sparrow variations and below are all the different Spongbobs.<br />

A new project has reached 10.000 votes on Cuusoo!<br />
<br />
This time it is a City themed project called "Mini Shop Series" initiated by "Pekko".<br />
<br />
The design of these shop is simple but very recognizable. Also it has a high play factor for children.<br />
<br />
It remains to be seen if the same brands will be used in a actual set. But it would be fun if the brands cooperate and we would be able to buy the individual Lego shops in their real shops.<br />
<br />

Incredibly this huge creation, by artist Mike Doyle, is built in Micro scale. It is a city on a distant world.<br />
<br />
It is truly beautiful and filled from bottom to top with awesome building techniques and details.<br />

This is a beautiful little medieval scene built by Flickr user "Disco86".<br />
<br />
Especially the tree looks very nice. The leafs are interlocking to create a more natural looking tree.<br />
<br />
The roofs of the buildings are also very nice. This technique works really well for creating medieval buildings.<br />
<br />

With season 3 launching in just a few days I was pleasantly surprised by this Game of Thrones moc created by Flickr user "flailx".<br />
<br />
It is the Heart Tree, as seen in season 1, being visited by Eddard Stark to sharpen his sword.<br />
<br />
The technique used to construct the tree is quit original. It makes for a tree that looks a lot like the one in the series.<br />
<br />
Look closely and you will recognize the shape of a face in the trunk of the tree.<br />
<br />
I am really looking forward to the start of the new season and this moc really makes me want to watch the previous seasons all over again!<br />

News on the Lego front has been very slow these days.<br />
<br />
Luckily I found two great mocs to kill the time.<br />
<br />
This is a 1930's cemetery layout by Flicker user "Nooreuyed". It looks great!<br />
<br />
All the trees and bushes look nice and the car in front looks awesome.<br />

And here we have the spacecraft "Hephaestus" by Flickr user "nate_daly"<br />
<br />
It is designed very nicely, especially the engines on the back.<br />
<br />
There is also a very creative cockpit. The use of the large transparent window works great.<br />

This is a great piece of city building by Flickr user "DarthNick".<br />
<br />
A new standard for modular building was used in this moc to make all the buildings and streets fit together nicely.<br />
<br />

This is the new X-Wing model. Like the UCS sets before it it is scaled a bit larger than the regular minifig sized sets.<br />
<br />
It is Luke Skywalker's Red Five X-Wing form the movies. The only thing that is not scaled up is the R2-D2. But compared to the minifigs the droids are a bit over sized anyway.<br />
<br />
This is the official description:<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Paris is a city filled with beautiful architecture, Flickr user "Snaillad" has captured that very nicely in this moc. The exterior is beautiful and the streets are filled with details like the subway entrance. Also there is a very detailed interior and, unlike most buildings where the floors come apart, this building opens up along a vertical side of the building.</div>

Finally we have official images of the new Lord of the Rings sets to be released in June 2013.<br />
<br />
The first is the 79005 The Wizard Battle set. It is a small set featuring Gandalf and Saruman fighting in the chamber where the eye of Sauron sits on a pedestal.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEn7NJcQVF8KrmFOPCLtrsqTCsUGg6pTLazqgUFLP392M2L3zM2575NR4g1roNjeRkkzW83ivoFPBt9MmCIM_Fgp6oxu4e_MVwVjV0aBxhyphenhyphenuL4sq11iLe3huXxiPM_9AWkiYyArKH5cd7O/s1600/79006-The-Council-of-Elrond.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEn7NJcQVF8KrmFOPCLtrsqTCsUGg6pTLazqgUFLP392M2L3zM2575NR4g1roNjeRkkzW83ivoFPBt9MmCIM_Fgp6oxu4e_MVwVjV0aBxhyphenhyphenuL4sq11iLe3huXxiPM_9AWkiYyArKH5cd7O/s400/79006-The-Council-of-Elrond.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The 79006 The Council of Elrond is the second set. This set comes with four minifigures. Elrond, Arwen, Frodo and Gimli. Both Frodo and Gimli are the same minifigures as we had before.<br />
<br />
This set shows the part of movie where Gimli tries to destroy the ring with his ax but is thrown backwards in his attempt.<br />
<br />
Also this set comes with a piece of the elven city Rivendel, a small archway and the council area. There are two notable new pieces in this set, the dark orange leaves and the half arches in light bluish grey.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAqGEWt-Fcu8ja2KH2DPivLDY0d5oKybxihrRhhDZxFaD5SaRIrQkI9R34MQBN5D7mjlw8s28LNPUKDDy8dKhFLdGzpH13N6-VH9J5EaLOXIZTjQA3H3kncFuwFKo6ZDlrScoBQOIuQ-Cc/s1600/79007-Battle-at-the-Black-Gate.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="237" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAqGEWt-Fcu8ja2KH2DPivLDY0d5oKybxihrRhhDZxFaD5SaRIrQkI9R34MQBN5D7mjlw8s28LNPUKDDy8dKhFLdGzpH13N6-VH9J5EaLOXIZTjQA3H3kncFuwFKo6ZDlrScoBQOIuQ-Cc/s400/79007-Battle-at-the-Black-Gate.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
The 79007 Battle at the Black Gate is the third set in the line. It depicts the final battle at the Black Gate of Mordor.<br />
<br />
In this set we get five minifigures, Aragorn (new King outfit), Gandalf The White, Mouth of Sauron and two Mordor Orcs. There is also an Eagle, which is kind of disappointing actually it is not very detailed.<br />
<br />
And of course there is the gate itself. It is not as big as the one in the movie but is has a close resemblance and should be fun to play with.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz3p1cPTu_YwR177HLaHfTm650_N18TJ8rhxF82YTyVmIzxfPVGqn16bkYmU-06d85bNOXmRcsMQnQZCkr6g-YgOydK9NvTjKKfBpvvJqYRmym2u13CYgJJrM31JvBE5sUtBBFLrXk7RSe/s1600/79008-Pirate-Ship-Ambush.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="316" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz3p1cPTu_YwR177HLaHfTm650_N18TJ8rhxF82YTyVmIzxfPVGqn16bkYmU-06d85bNOXmRcsMQnQZCkr6g-YgOydK9NvTjKKfBpvvJqYRmym2u13CYgJJrM31JvBE5sUtBBFLrXk7RSe/s400/79008-Pirate-Ship-Ambush.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
And finally the fourth set is the 79008 Pirate Ship Ambush. This scene takes part when Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas arrive at the battle for Minas Tirith accompanied by the Army of the Dead.<br />
<br />
This set comes with nine minifigures, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, King of the Dead, two dead soldiers, pirate captain, and two orcs.<br />
<br />
And of course there is the ship, which actually turned out pretty nice. A fun fact is that the pirate captain is actually played by Peter Jackson himself in the movie.<br />
<br />
This is probably it for Lord of the Rings in 2013, but The Hobbit sets have already been announced for December 2013. We are looking forward to it!Larshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18255009061263424102noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5231806288684123853.post-82373791589368532812013-02-09T09:05:00.000+01:002013-02-09T09:05:19.175+01:00Harry on the swings<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

With the ending of the Harry Potter franchise the moc's have also dried up a little.<br />
<br />
Yet here is a moc of Harry on the swings before he and Dudley get attacked by Dementors.<br />
<br />
The swings are built very nicely and also the use of Duplo fences works very well.<br />
<br />
This moc was created by Flickr user "Lego Junkie".<br />

<br />
This project differs from the previous Zelda project on its simplicity.<br />
<br />
There is only one minifig in this project, Link, to reduce the amount of new molds that would need to be made.<br />

Finally the new Iron Man 3 sets have surfaced on the web!<br />
<br />
The first is the 76006 Iron Man Extremis Sea Port Battle.<br />
<br />
This sets includes 3 minifigures, Iron Man, War Machine and a villain.<br />
<br />
The play feature of this set is a boat in which the villain tries to escape or attack the heroes.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The second set 76007 Iron Man Malibu Mansion Attack is just like we have seen in the trailer. The Mandarin attacks Tony Starks home.<br />
<br />
This set includes 5 minifigures, the first looks like a Tony without his Iron Man suit, Pepper Potts, the Mandarin, the helicopter pilot, and Iron Man.<br />
<br />
This is a fun set because you get a helicopter and a piece of the Stark mansion.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
The 76008 Iron Man vs The Mandarin Ultimate Showdown is the smallest set.<br />
<br />
It comes with 2 minifigures, Iron Man and The Mandarin.<br />
<br />
The Mandarin has a little attack vehicle that he uses to fight Iron Man<br />
<br />
So these are the new Iron Man 3 sets. They are planned to hit the shelves on May 15.Larshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18255009061263424102noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5231806288684123853.post-50629911991816031062013-02-06T12:34:00.002+01:002013-02-06T12:34:52.092+01:00ATV trail<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is a beautiful slice of modern landscaping. This is an ATV trail built by Flickr user "cyndi.bourne".<br />
The different shades of green, trees, dirt trail, rocky hill and the stream make this a very realistic scene.<br />

The first pictures of new sets revealed at the Toy Fair in Nuremberg Germany are starting to surface. These images are from <a href="http://www.brickset.com/" target="_blank">Brickset</a>.<br />
<br />
This is the box art for the new 70404 King's Castle set. In this new line of castle sets it turns out that blue and red will be the primary colors. Blue for the "good" guys and red for the "bad" guys.<br />
<br />

<br />
And here we have the 76002 Superman Metropolis Showdown set. It is not a very exciting set. It is probably a scene from the upcoming movie. The new Superman minifig looks great!<br />

This is Flickr user "Tastymuffins" castle entry for the Colossal Castle Contest on <a href="http://classic-castle.com/events/ccc/rules.cgi?contest=cccx" target="_blank">Classic-Castle.com</a>.<br />
<br />
It is a beautiful and realistic castle with various odd angles and shapes.<br />
<br />
Also the surrounding paths, plants and trees look very nice.<br />

Haldur's Crypt is a new creation by Flickr user "- Derfel Cadarn -" for his Dark Isle Saga.<br />
<br />
This crypt has a really creepy feeling about it. The crypt and the surrounding trees, plant and walls have a perfect worn look about them.<br />
<br />

This is a beautiful tower designed and built by Flickr user "RedCoKid".<br />
<br />
The shape and exterior design is very original and detailed. The tower comes apart in seven modules, probably for easy transportation.<br />
<br />
And the tower has two working elevators as well!<br />

Some creations are truly brilliant. As is this Moc by Flickr user "mijasper".<br />
<br />
Look closely and you will find that the creator has used some relatively new parts in a genius way.<br />
<br />
The wheels of the miniature train are the new roller skates that appeared in the new series 9 minifigures. And then there is the middle wagon, it is built with the mouth form "Steve" figure in the Minecraft Cuusoo set.<br />
<br />

Here we have yet another great ship by Dutch ship builder Konajra.<br />
<br />
This is the Tyr Viking, a sister ship to the <a href="http://netherbrick.blogspot.nl/2012/11/fairplay-33.html" target="_blank">Fairplay-33</a>.<br />
The ship is fitted with a working lifting system to lift buoys and anchors, check that out on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhjuJi6CG58" target="_blank">Youtube</a>.<br />
Also the bridge and deck are full of beautiful details.<br />
