Just a quick MOC I made in celebration of the 118th Boston Marathon. As a runner, the tragic events on 2013 were heartbreaking, but watching the running community come together in the past year has been incredible. Good luck to all of the runners competing this year, and a huge thank you to all of the people who make this race possible. It's time to take the next step. We are Boston Strong!
A common sight along the corridors of lunar outposts everywhere, the Mus is a small, light, one-person transport that makes getting around your moon base much quicker and easier.
Its simple and sturdy design mean it is reliable and easy to repair, and it is affordable enough for every astronaut to have one!
The Mus can even be remotely operated, or programmed to run autonomously, as a delivery drone, transporting parts and packages.
Built for Febrovery '22!
This is a small part of an old LEGO "flags" folder/leaflet/brochure.
Note how Bayer and even Cellidor are mentioned.
It seems that if you look around, hints are everywhere:)
The Æsel is a sturdy little transport ship, good for hauling supply pods, habitat modules and various other essential bits and pieces between outposts within a system. Built on the same frame as the LL 147 Thunderbolt Viper, but reversed in orientation.
"Uplink and I are a team. Between us there's nothing we can't do."
I've been meaning to revamp this old set for a while, so here it is! Bigger and sturdier than the original version, I wanted to keep the "cockpit" open while offering a bit more protection to the pilot, so I went with the cage over the top. I also made it "modular" so there are different attachment options to choose from depending on the mission.
Bring back Exo-Force!
1997’s Robo Stalker, another Mech from the strange RoboForce sub-theme!
I’m kind of a fan of the space robot goblin in striped pants, vaguely reminds me of a Beetlejuice getup? Idk, but I dig it.
This set has some seriously unique space elements and a few familiar. This set stands strong as a part’s pack, but it has enough originality to merit its own existence in any retro space collection
Good consoles for both drivers, great transparent orange elements, and even a cool sticker over the torso windshield
This set has all the prints and printed legs for the minifigs, super deluxe for ‘97
Each pilot of the orange faction of RoboForce shares the same face (previously used in Aquanauts’ sub-theme), which is an odd choice considering how many different elaborate prints were used in these sets
The detachable head/craft is good looking, with that large Exploriens’ element for a cockpit, adjustable wings, and two storage containers

So there are two stories. the Making of first.
I might have dared Andrea to draw a ship for me and boy did she give me a doozy. Seriously..it was impossible. But come Shiptember, I was up for the challenge. This sucker is 150 studs long and just about 166 or so when transformed. I love me some Pneumatics, and technic engines. Its got lights, trains, air pumps and all that shippy goodness. Greebs to a T.. and a proud artist.
Its a Kris Blade, turned into a ship..
Next, the story of the Six Demons.
I don't know how good an approximation of "plough" this is XD
But I think it looks vaguely agricultural in my eyes, so it'll do.
(After)life ain't easy for a skeleton, but the wizard is happy enough in his little hut on the hill. He's got his cauldron, he's got his frog, and he's far enough away from the nearest village that his experiments in technomancy (usually) don't affect anyone else.
Something a bit different for me; I don't usually do buildings, but I had the idea for this a while ago, and if I want to stand any chance of getting back into LEGO as a designer, then I need to push my boundaries and build outside my comfort zone. I think it came out not too bad, and it's certainly an improvement over previous attempts at minifig-scale buildings.
“Oh wow Rick, the Time Machine from the movie!”
“No Morty! This, this is ingenious! Thats not a time machine, it’s a LEGO kit. A LEGO kit that WASTES time! Now grab the wheel Morty, grandpa’s had too much to drink.”
What an excellent, satisfying build!
The action features work excellently, the details are on point and all three display options look great.
Awesome addition to the upscale cars. May have to do another shoot with this thing before it gets settled into a permanent display.
Which BttF film do you like the best?

1992’s Rebel Hunter from Space Police II enters the LEGO City!
Took lots of pictures of this one, had some fun, check it out!
Also known as the Space Police Prisoner Patrol, this medium sized spaceship brings back loads of memories. Two fractions of Space sub-themes are represented here with the Space Police II fig and a Blacktron prisoner, which I really like as a huge fan of Blacktron.
The prisoner’s capsule is a funny little build that looks like it would clamp down on the fig’s feet. I like how these were the standard capsule in the Space Police 2 line and could be used with their other sets.
The ship itself is pretty basic. Uses some large funky elements to add easy bulk and width. I was never a fan of the technic elements being so prominent on the top of the ship, but I love the simple drop-ship action feature! Great transparent dark green elements! Very classic LEGO.
I always figured the green and red modified facets (3x3x2) were the equivalent of police lights, subbing green for blue.
Did you have this set growing up? Like it? Find it problematic?
More ‘90s LEGO sets to be featured soon, including more Space sun-themes!

Blacktron II’s Allied Avenger (or Octopod) from 1991 enters the LEGO City!
LEGO’s best X-Wing pre-Star War license?
I’m a huge fan of Blacktron II’s use of octagon transparent neon green domes and detachable pods in their larger sets.
My younger self imagined the pods would be for atmospheric travel, with the back rockets intended for intergalactic travel/warp speed.
Pretty cool little spaceship, classic minifig with the old blockhead, and great neon pieces!
More 90’s LEGO to be showcased soon, including more of the space baddies - Blacktron II

Part of my 2x4 slotted brick collection.
This part became to big for my normal frames, so I had to find a new way to store and display these.
I still need to add the rest of my slotted bricks, but these do not fit easilly over the studs anymore...
The number of different colors is amazing, remember, in the 50ties to the 70ties, LEGO largely consisted of only 6 colors!
(Blue, red, yellow, white, transparent and only later black)
Slotted bricks were made with loose granulate, much more was spilled.
These granulate (expensive) got sweeped up and was used to make B-quality bricks (marbled) and sold for less than the uni-colored bricks....
These are drawers with 48x48 baseplates cut to size.
1958 small box used to promote the new tube bricks.
These were send to toyshops.
Inside were two 2x4 bricks, either red and white or yellow and blue.
On here you can see the transparent bricks with orange tube.
These bricks were really made by LEGO!!!

Top line showing a few Wrexham bricks (Grangemouth).
A small collection of bricks that fit no where else in my collection so far.
Some strange letter and number combinations going on here.
I hope to find out one day what these combinations meen.
An ancient and mysterious temple lies in the heart of the jungle, long since abandoned but strangely inviting...
An alternate build of set #77941 Mighty Dinosaurs (Blue), inspired by the old Prehistoric Power Creator set which featured a Triceratops and a Mammoth.
This is a fun little build, with plenty of flexibility and expression. I guess this is probably more like the kind of thing I should do if I ever want to get back to LEGO!
1991’s Aerial Intruder from the Blacktron II fraction enters the LEGO City!
The ‘Big’ ship from a fan favorite (myself decidedly included) sub-theme is actually not all that big compared to the other Space sub-themes’ flagships. This ship checks the majority of my criteria for what made an excellent spaceship play set as a kid!
Great color scheme and cool large transparent elements?
Blacktron 2 has arguably the best + printed large windshield!
Detachable base with usable interior space?
The center of the ship is large when opened and has an aft storage compartment. While tight when loaded with cargo, great when side-builds are deployed
Dropship/Escape Pod?
Two of the best designed simple ships that deploy from the sides, that are also designed to be compatible with the rest of the sub-theme! So simple and genius
And a bonus jetpack element that is classic
Rover?
Two! Yes, super simple, but very standard for the time.
Action features?
The simple rover launch action definitely suffices.
Droid/Robot?
Not for this faction, but I believe that’s because they were outlaws. Correct me if I’m wrong?
Yes, I’m a really big fan of this old spaceship. Any detractors, like having 5 pilot-able options with only two minifigs can be understood with all their buddies they’d have to break from the Space Police II
This Absolute Classic brings me to the conclusion of my look back at some of my favorite LEGO from the ‘90s. I’m sure I’ll do more shoots with these sets in the future, but I’ve got a ton of contemporary sets to showcase for now and a large MOC in progress.
What did you think of this ship? Did you have it? Does it hold up today?

The XP-430 is an innovative experimental prototype spacecraft, designed to test advanced manoeuvering principles. Built around a modified spaceframe from the model 60430 ship, the "Viper" features more specialised and extended control surfaces for in- and trans-atmosphere flight, as well as enhanced flight computers and more powerful thrusters.
Finished my third complete set of old boxes, the ones without system on the box.
These originate in the UK or "Made in Great Britain" as it says on the side*.
Now my 3 series of 218 black slide boxes are complete.
Thanks A. hope you get your items soon(c:
*The new firm started distributing LEGO products from 1960 and brick manufacture commenced at Wrexham in 1962.
If you have an old LEGO set that says ‘Made in Great Britain’ on the box, it was made and packed by hand on Wrexham Industrial Estate.
Lego Pirates theme celebrates its 30th anniversary this year.
With this photo series I celebrate my favorite Lego theme.

I made this the night before I was going to leave for BrickFair VA, because I thought that it was the funniest thing ever. I am going to make more I think because people -really- liked this and thought it was funny, and because I donated this one to the Slade Child Foundation auction this year.
A majestic stag, built using parts from 2 copies of set #31154 Forest Animals: Red Fox, and based mainly on a Red Deer.
When I saw the red fox set, I knew I had to do something with it. The little tree made me think antlers, and so the ideer (sorry!) was planted. I had to get two copies of the set to have enough parts to make the antlers a decent size.
This is by far my most complex "alternative build" MOC so far, and probably one of the most complex I've done in general. It's got studs going forwards, backwards, up, down, left and right! All this results in a very solid build. The head is a little big for the body, but overall I'm really pleased with how this guy turned out!
Part of my 2x4 brick collection.
This part became to big for my normal frames, so I had to find a new way to store and display these.
All 8xf bricks, these show the least ammount of color so far, I wonder if I will ever find much more...
The one right milky white has the hard F, while the others have the more slanted f.
These are drawers with 48x48 baseplates cut to size.
The Tadpole is commonly seen at spaceports and outposts, particularly ones that are just being built or are expanding. Often working alongside the C.A.T.T. cargo transports, the Tadpole can get into tighter spaces than many other industrial forklifts, which makes it highly valued.

Part of my 2x4 brick collection.
These are different bricks that fall outside my "normal" Bayers.
The brown/red/yellow bricks have 7x a letter and LEGO on 1 stud.
The red/white bricks are reversed and have LEGO on 7 studs and 1 with a letter...
The bottom looks very much like Minitalia bricks, also the plastic is very similar to Minitalia plastic.
Not sure if these fall under Bayer or LEGO.......
The light blue and greenish bricks have 1x a number and 7xG.
There are numbers 1 to 6, but 5 is missing...

This part became to big for my normal frames, so I had to find a new way to store and display these.
These bricks I first wanted to throw away when I found 1 or 2 with the hole in one of the studs.
Still being nice bricks, I gave one or two away untill I found more and they became a small collection of their own.
All of the right corner fault bricks are #1, there are also a few left corner faults, those have a different mold and number.
Seeing as how it's a returning problem in all colors, it must be a mold mistake.
The fault is very much identical on all bricks.
Funny how things go sometimes....

You know summer has arrived on the island of Mata Nui when you hear the humming of this magnificent little Rahi. The Le-Wahi Bumbler is native to the Le-Wahi jungles, but has successfully spread around the rest of the island and can also be found on some of the smaller islets around the coast.
It is an important pollinator and part of the cycle of life on Mata Nui. Its large size and bright colours are a deterrent for most predators, but these critters are actually fairly docile, and can even make great companion Rahi with enough patience.
----------------------------------------
Here's a little build I've been playing with for a few weeks. It took a few passes, but I'm pleased with the end result. I need to try and work on blending System and constraction elements more.
Might not post anything for a while (not that I do very often anyway lol) after this. I didn't make it past the preliminary round for the Bio-Cup, which has got me pretty bummed out. I know there's the redemption rounds, but I don't know if I feel up to it. We'll see.
