Keith Goldman’s latest massive diorama presents his interpretation of the science fiction work Logan’s Run. At this scale, architecture really plays a role in capturing our attention. I am particularly drawn to the terraced vines and the sloped facets of the background structure.

The individual shots of the diorama are also unique, where each scene captured a separate story element. You should check them out on the Flickr set. And as a rare glimpse, Keith shows that there are boundaries to his creations, proving that he is “a man among gods, and a god among men.”

Ciamosław Ciamek (PigletCiamek) behöver nog inte påpeka att hans diorama är baserad på krigsfilmsklassikern "Den längsta dagen". Den som sett filmen lär nog känna igen scenen direkt.

That’s right. 7ft tall Captain Rex!

This pilot and plane shot by Jon Hall doesn’t show off the model nearly enough but does look great. Do make sure to look at all the pics.

He survived Troy for this? 

Women….never satisfied.

Dave Shaddix likes to work to his own rulebook. In this case his rulebook told him to make three Kachinas: Angwusnasomtaka, Talavai and Palavitkuna. I love studs sideways sculpting.

The large-scale LEGO Star Wars set 10212 Imperial Shuttle unveiled at BrickWorld in June is now available from the LEGO Shop.

The set includes 5 minifigs and 2503 pieces, and costs 260 USD.

The Harry Potter book series may have come to a conclusion, but the movies continue, with the first half of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows due out later this year. LEGO still has the Harry Potter license, and will be releasing a full line of sets on October 1st (the night of the LEGO Store event at BrickCon, by the way). For those of you not joining us in person, you can pre-order the LEGO Harry Potter sets today.

The fourth LEGO incarnation of Hogwarts Castle (4842) includes 10 minifigs and appears to be modular like the previous versions.

I’m personally most excited by the six new minifigs in 4840 The Burrow:

Again, the full line of six sets is available for pre-order now, and will ship on October 1. (The video games and board game are all available now.)

Finally, LEGO has free shipping on $75 or more from now through September 19th.

I really dig this new starfighter model by Fredoichi. I really enjoy the color choices here, especially as they also correspond with a split between smooth curves and interesting texture. The ship looks perfectly sized, small enough to be able to hold in one hand and swoosh around, but big enough to hold a minifig. It doesn’t look like the inside of the cockpit has been detailed, which is a lost opportunity, but doesn’t take too much away from the rest of the craft.

It’s also the archetypal fighter from R-Type.

Found this “oldster” today … way cool!

I had this!

This was my very first LEGO set.  I was four.  I’ve been hooked for nineteen years.

And, yes, that is the original instruction booklet.
