Oh, that is so very cool on so very many levels.

@Xeni: It's LEGO, it can be rebuilt. Somebody had to say that, heh heh. :-P

Looks like we weren't as clear as we could've been in our post on The Brothers Brick. :-( The builder goes by Izzo, inspired of course by Moko -- both Japanese LEGO fans. Here's a link to Izzo's post on his blog. Izzo's son says that the robot is for "Taking care of nature." Awwww!

(Thanks for the linkage, Joel!)

Oh look, there's my Lt. Col. Kilgore! BrickBuildr is a fantastic project, and Mike's addition of iPhone functionality recently makes the site that much cooler.

I love the fact that the debate here on a non-LEGO blog (though one could argue Joel is fast turning BB Gadgets into a LEGO blog) is all about the pluralization of LEGO. Heh heh.

I agree completely that it feels like there's a lot of new, excellent stuff going on in the LEGO fan community -- "renaissance" is indeed a good word choice.

BTW, "Morgan19" is a UK LEGO fan named Jamie Spencer. He's one of my favorite builders, and his presentation is always excellent.

Thanks for the linkage, Joel!

What makes this so cool, I think, are the little details. The drool and the green blood are just genius. The dreadlocks (dinosaur tails and other animal elements) are also very lifelike -- if that can be said of a fictional character built from little plastic bricks. (Thanks for the linkage, Joel!)

Great list, Joel! Whether I had them or not, these are indeed some of my favorite sets -- right up through 7036 Dwarves' Mine. The preliminary pics of the new Castle sets for 2008 look like they have a lot of the same cool stuff going on.

The Falcon may be the best parts pack ever. I vote for more ships of your own design.
