How to “Cook” a Delicious Custom LEGO Fried Chicken

In this mouth-watering video (in case you’re a minifigure in disguise), we can see a pair of hands carefully dipping a pinkish LEGO chicken leg into a red mixture made of LEGO tiles. The leg piece is then ‘coated’ with beige 1×1 plates, simulating breadcrumb crust.

The next step involves placing the LEGO fried chicken into a pot filled with ‘hot oil,’ and well, as you can guess, represented by popping trans yellow studs LEGO studs. Once ‘cooked,’ the LEGO fried chicken pieces have now been transformed into an appetizing trio of golden brown leg pieces.

The culinary journey doesn’t stop there; strands of french fries have been deliciously recreated using yellow LEGO pieces. These faux fries are then placed alongside the custom Lego fried chicken on the plate, completing the tasty illusion.

LEGO Ideas Celebrate the Fusion of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math

Technology

While we often think of technology as a futuristic concept, it’s important to remember that even the simplest inventions, like the wheel, are technological marvels. And what better way to let your imagination roam and bring technology to life than with a set of LEGO bricks and pieces?

Engineering

Engineering isn’t just about buildings and engines. It’s about making things move, serving a clever purpose, and pushing the boundaries of innovation. Use your LEGO-building skills to redefine the art of engineering.

LEGO Ideas Disney Magic Set Coming Soon!

Here’s another LEGO set to watch out for – the Disney-inspired LEGO Ideas Disney Magic set.

If you happened to miss it, the LEGO Ideas platform hosted a thrilling building challenge back in May this year. The challenge beckoned members to cast their votes for the most captivating Disney-inspired MOCs (My Own Creations), including enchanting dioramas and meticulously crafted brick-built characters. All of this is to commemorate Disney’s incredible century of enchanting fairy tales. Now, following the collective tally of votes in July, it seems we’re in for a treat with the forthcoming official LEGO release – the LEGO Ideas Disney Magic set, slated to be released soon.

The LEGO Ideas Disney Magic is the Next LEGO Set to Watch Out For

The grand prize was awarded to the phenomenal creation, the LEGO Ideas Disney Magic, masterfully conceived by fan builder 2A2A. This creation offers us a glimpse into what the final LEGO set might look like once it graces the market.

Within this enchanting set, you’ll find a Sorcerer Mickey from the classic Fantasia film, meticulously built using LEGO bricks. Surrounding him, an array of minifigure versions pay homage to the iconic Disney characters that have been an integral part of our childhood:

1. Belle from Beauty and the Beast

2. Ariel, Flounder, and Sebastian from The Little Mermaid

3. Pride Rock from The Lion King

4. Sultan’s palace and the flying Carpet from Aladdin

5. Pumpkin coach from Cinderella

6. Stitch riding the wave from Lilo and Stitch

7. Elsa from Frozen showcasing her ice magic

8. Pinocchio and the wooden raft from the chase with the whale Monstro

As mentioned by 2A2A, selecting a single Disney classic story that captures a century of Disney magic posed quite a challenge. The hope is that this soon-to-be LEGO Ideas set can effectively convey the plethora of timeless classics that have graced the world over the years. Ultimately, it aims to offer a truly magical tableau, one that will captivate the hearts of both Disney aficionados and dedicated LEGO fans alike.

Availability and Release Date of the LEGO Ideas Disney Magic

This submission, which marks LEGO’s latest collaboration with retail giant Target, will be joining an illustrious lineup of other products currently in development.

Stay tuned as I’ll be regularly updating you with the latest news on how to get your hands on this set. While we don’t have a confirmed release date just yet, it’s reasonable to speculate that it might hit the shelves sometime in the first quarter of 2024.

It’s also worth celebrating the remarkable achievements of the other runner-up winners in the Fan Vote. Their contributions were outstanding and deserve hearty congratulations for a job well done. A huge congratulations to ChaMi for the runner-up entry, Just a Little Bit of Pixie Dust, and Fantasia (1940) – The Sorcerer’s Apprentice by BrickStability

“Stand Aside, I Must Apprehend These LEGO X Men”

These minifigure versions of the LEGO X Men can expect a difficult time with this towering heavyweight. This article is reposted to share this awesome LEGO X Men Sentinel MOC from LEGO fanbuilder extraordinaire Henry Pinto.

This LEGO X Men and Sentinel MOC is Welcomed Throwback!

Get ready to embark on an exciting journey into the world of LEGO and the iconic X-Men universe, where nostalgia meets innovation in the most spectacular way! If you’ve been following our blog, you already know about my fondness for the late 80s and 90s, an era that holds a special place in the hearts of many fellow AFOLs.

This beloved animated series graced our screens for a remarkable five-year run from 1992 to 1997, capturing the imaginations of viewers young and old. Amidst its captivating characters and thrilling storylines, the Sentinels emerged as one of the most iconic elements of the X-Men franchise.

The animated series ran for 5 years from 1992 until 1997. One of the things (or villains) that impressed me the most in the series are those towering mechanical monstrosities called Sentinels.

Before we had their modern, shape-shifting iterations as seen in MCU’s X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014), the classic Sentinel was more menacing both in size and sheer power. That kind of wonder and awe for such a powerful villain, whom the X-Men buckled every now and then, really left an impression on me. Much so that we are expecting a comeback of this formidable foe once the modern retelling of the classic X-Men animation is streamed over at Disney+.

So imagine my delight when I stumbled into this minifig scale LEGO X Men Sentinel MOC (My Own Creation) of the infamous colossus created by Henry Pinto for the Sydney Brick Show. Needless to say, it’s a true homage to the X-Men legacy.

A Closer Look at this Custom and Colossal LEGO Sentinel MOC

Henry’s incredible brick-built Sentinel is a towering presence, standing at a jaw-dropping 101cm (almost 4 feet) in height, with a wingspan of 45cm. It’s not a lightweight either, tipping the scales at an impressive 7.5 kilograms. To fully appreciate the scale of this creation, take a look at the images Henry shared on his Facebook post.

Love how those LEGO X Men minifigures look so puny in comparison to this mechanical behemoth. The balance and articulation of this LEGO X-Men Sentinel MOC are outstanding considering its weight and dimensions.

What truly sets Henry’s LEGO Sentinel apart is the meticulous attention to detail. Every aspect of this fearsome mechanical beast has been recreated with precision. From the iconic pink and metallic blue color scheme to the stunning light effects, this LEGO Sentinel exudes authenticity and menace, reminiscent of its animated counterpart.

What makes this achievement even more remarkable is that Henry constructed this LEGO MOC without relying on LEGO Digital Designer (LDD), a digital tool commonly used by LEGO builders for planning and designing their creations. Furthermore, he modestly confesses that he hasn’t kept track of the number of LEGO pieces used. This underscores the power of pure talent and unbridled creativity!

I guess sheer talent and creativity do not necessarily need to have a building manual.

Like This LEGO X-Men Sentinel MOC?

For those who want to dive deeper into the creation process of this LEGO X-Men Sentinel MOC, you’re in luck. Henry has generously shared an extensive collection of photos on his Flickr site, chronicling the evolution of this monumental project. It’s a treasure trove of insights into the dedication, creativity, and sheer joy that went into bringing this iconic X-Men foe to life using LEGO bricks.

My heartfelt gratitude goes to Henry for sharing his awe-inspiring, brick-built masterpiece with the world. His LEGO X-Men Sentinel MOC not only pays tribute to the X-Men animated series but also showcases the limitless potential of LEGO as an artistic medium. Whether you’re a devoted X-Men enthusiast or simply appreciate the magic of LEGO, this creation is a must-see marvel!

In the realm of LEGO X Men, Henry’s LEGO Sentinel MOC stands as a towering testament to the fusion of nostalgia, artistic ingenuity, and a deep love for the X-Men universe. It’s a work of art that is sure to continue inspiring and captivating LEGO fanbuilders for generations to come.

This Custom LEGO Sauron Bids For You To Submit… and Get Its Free Building Instructions!

This post about our Custom LEGO Sauron building instructions was originally published back on August 10, 2019 and has been updated here to reflect The Brick Show Shop’s latest update on this free offering.

Fans of J.R.R. Tolkien’s classic understand the significance of the coveted One Ring, created by the Lord of Darkness, Sauron, who relentlessly seeks its power.

Created by the Lord of Darkness himself, Sauron will never stop until he gets his hands once again to his source of power and existence. And Sauron’s feeling of morbid triumph and diabolical satisfaction is perfectly captured by builder Aaron Newman in this retelling of one of the literature’s vilest characters.

This Custom LEGO Sauron Bids You To Take A Second Look!

The Dark Lord of Mordor is relentless in making sure that the One Ring finds his way back to him. In fact, we see Sauron even wield the powerful Ring in the first scenes of the blockbuster film, Lord of the Rings. This moment was excellently rendered in bricks in his custom LEGO Sauron as you can see below.

Aaron’s creative vision for this custom LEGO Sauron drew its inspiration directly from the iconic 2001 film, where audiences witnessed the armor-clad behemoth relentlessly hammering away at the overwhelmed forces of Middle-Earth.

The beauty behind this LEGO masterpiece lies in Aaron’s skillful use of metallic grey and silver pieces, a deliberate choice that bestows upon this brick-built, diabolical figure an aura of sinister grandeur. These carefully selected elements, with their gleaming sheen, imbue this custom LEGO Sauron with an air of malevolent royalty, capturing the essence of his character in every meticulously placed brick and detail.

Furthermore, this custom LEGO Sauron features a realistic build that is very imposing coming in at 13 inches in height. The details on Sauron’s helmet and mace are spot-on, with Aaron effectively using those new LEGO Ninjago blade pieces to Sauron’s advantage.

This Imposing Custom LEGO Sauron MOC Stands at 13 Inches!

The rest of the body is also properly scaled, giving this custom LEGO Sauron a deceitfully fragile look as the antagonist would like to make his enemies believe. Its slim figure is basically compensated with its heavily armored garb, complete with a pair of capes and a destructive mace.

If you’re eager to gain deeper insights into the meticulous design process that brought this remarkable custom LEGO Sauron MOC to life, I invite you to delve into Aaron’s blog entry. You’ll discover a treasure trove of information, unveiling the creative journey, innovative techniques, and artistic inspirations that shaped this extraordinary build.

Aaron’s blog is your portal to a behind-the-scenes adventure, where the magic of LEGO craftsmanship unfolds, offering you an intimate glimpse into the artistry that birthed this exceptional masterpiece.

Creator of the Custom LEGO Sauron MOC Debuts in LEGO Masters US

In case you haven’t noticed yet, Aaron is one of the strong contenders in the currently running, LEGO reality TV show, LEGO Masters US. He’s now giving back to the LEGO community by sharing this FREE Custom LEGO Sauron building instructions through The Brick Show Shop.

Yes, you read it right – we are giving it away for free! Just head over to our official storefront and download the building instructions in PDF format, including its parts list, plus a template for creating Sauron’s cape. So forgive me if I can’t overemphasize it enough – it’s simply too good to give a pass.

Consider adding these fantastic custom LEGO Lord of the Rings Oliphant and Balrog MOCs to your LOTR collection as well. Tyler and Sean at Build Better Bricks have made the building instructions for these sets available, along with a convenient Stud.io file for easy part sourcing at Bricklink.
