NINJAGO IN THE LEGO SHOP AT HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course, you can only pre-order them now. you can get them on Jan 1st, 2011. But now we know the prices! Here's the link: Ninjago

What's Up

Here are some tablescraps I've been working on lately. First up is a micro-scale helicopter, the AH-103 (or Lark). Next is an Appa that I'm building for my "The Last Airbender" minifigs. Then, I have some miniland-scale ninjas, based off of the ninja's characteristics from Ninjago. And as you can see, my room is a wreck. I'm gonna try to clean it by Christmas. If that's possible.



Homemade Pharaoh's Quest Sets: Golden Staff Guardians

Halberd from Kirby

This is Meta Knight's dreadnought, the Halberd, from the Kirby video games and Super Smash Brothers Brawl. I built it in midi-scale, and added Kirby's little starship in. There should be some cannons on the small platforms on either side, but I remembered that after I was finished downloading and editing the pictures.



Homemade Pharaoh's Quest Sets: Cursed Cobra Statue

Nothing much to this, the cobra statue comes of from the stand, cool vehicle, enough said.

Homemade Pharaoh's Quest Sets: Rise of the Sphinx


All right. this is almost exactly like the actual Lego set, except for the fact that the Jackal Sphinx's head can move and It isn't color-coordinated. Oh, and on impulse, I covered the interior of the sphinx with control panels.

A Tribute to Ninjago




I told you this was coming. This vignette on an 8x8 plate has three levels. on the first, we have a ninja fighting one of Garmadon's evil skeletons. In the middle, an armed traveler is about to be ambushed by a skeleton. And on the third level, we have Garmadon himself, being attacked by a brave ninja. Enjoy! Oh, and I found this on TBB and thought it was kind of funny: Colorful

New Pics of 2011 Sets!

Well, almost all of the Lego sets scheduled to be released in 2011 have already been released (except for the best, NINJAGO!). But some pictures have come up of more 2011 sets, such as some new Lego Games, names for Pirates of the Carribean, and... NINJAGO! You can see all of these on Brickset, among other things. They also have high quality images of NINJAGO!


P.S. I can't wait to get my hands on NINJAGO!

Updating Soon

I'm sorry for not updating my blog for a while. But be prepared! I'm almost ready to post tons of new models that I've been working on. These will include: homemade Pharaoh's Quest sets, a tribute to Ninjago, and reviews of two new 2011 Hero Factory sets I bought. So stay tuned!

I'm not sure what to call this...

This model is a cross between the blockade runner, the jedi ambassadorial shuttle, and an imperial star destroyer. The top opens and can seat quite a few minifigs, it also has an escape pod  and opening cockpit with missle launcher.                                     P.S. I would REALLY like for people to send in their models! The only models I have ever blogged are mine and my brother's. Also, here's a link to a website with instructions to make a ton of little star wars Lego models.

Western Pics

Yes, I've finally posted more pictures of my western town model. First, there's a holdup in the bank, next, there's the interior of the sheriff's office, and lastly, the gunfight in the saloon. Oh, and there's also something totally not related to western stuff, an Ewok defense mech.

Lego 2011 sets in stores!!!

I've heard rumors that some people have found some 2011 Lego sets like Pharaoh's Quest in stores.I don't know if any stores around here have them, but you can now find pictures and names of a lot of the 2011 sets on Brickset.

UPDATE: Pharaoh's quest sets are now on Toys R Us' website, and Lego minifigures series 3 can be found in Fred Meyers stores. Unfortunately for me, where I live, we don't have any Fred Meyers stores.

Avatar the Last Airbender Models


I'm getting into the Avatar: the Last Airbender stuff. I haven't seen the movie, but I've almost finished watching all of the animated television episodes. These models are from season 1. I built a small Fire Nation ship, an Air Temple, a humongous Fire Nation ship (which I didn't post a pic of, maybe I'll do it later) and a Fire Nation tank (no pics there, either.) Also, I made minifigures of Aang, Katara, Sokka, Prince Zuko, two Firebenders, Toph, some Fire Nation Soldiers, and Iroh.                                         P.S. I don't have any of the original The Last Airbender Lego sets.

Welcome to Diagon Alley!

This is a Diagon Alley model that I made to enter the Lego Harry Potter building challenge. as you can see, I built Gringgotts bank, Olivander's wand shop, Quality Quidditch Supplies, a wizarding shop, and a pet store.

CONTEST!!!!!

I'm finally having a contest (Because nobody's sending me any pictures of their Lego models!) The theme is space police, since I don't have a lot of... funds, the winner gets a space police villain 'Snake' minifig, along with some minifigure accessories (I lost Snake's helmet, and I'm NOT going to order a new one). You must be 18 years or younger to enter. send me an email through generationbrick@gmail.com including a picture (maximum three, no faces) of your model, first name, and email address. All entries must be received by November 30th. No purchase necessary.

EDIT: Actually, if you could post a comment if you have sent an email, it would help me a lot. Also, I will post the top 3 winners on this blog. Of course, the grand prize winner gets the minifig.

Hero Factory V2.0?

http://www.toyark.com/news/attach/2/6/0/2/Hero-Factory-2011-Heroes_1285283894.jpgYes, there IS a future for Hero Factory (I didn't think there was much). This is a pic from Hero Factory V2.0. I have GOT to get the current William Furno before that hideous 'Furno 2.0' comes out.

Enemies of the Space Police: Beware!

Take that! is what I say to all those people who didn't think that Hero Factory parts could be used in an MOC (my own creation)! This space police mech uses ALL of the parts from the Preston Stormer Hero Factory set. It can seat one minifigure, and is armed with a ice blade, sharp claws, and a gatling gun.

Rebel Scum...

Yes, Ive built just about everything imaginable ( except maybe a restroom... I'll do that next.) This is my version of the Mon Calamari star cruiser set from the Star Wars theme. It's almost like the real set, with a rotating landing platform with crane, weapon holders, and a briefing room.

Atlantis: Before I Got Any of the Real Sets

Well, I've used up just about all my pictures in my 'Generation Brick' folder, so I found these by surfing through our other photos. As you can see by the title, I built these models from the 'Atlantis' theme before I had even gotten any of the sets.

Stats

I would just like to say that I have had over 300 pageviews. Also, I encourage you to post comments. AND to send In your Lego models. (If you're under 18 years) I've had 4 pageviews from the United Kingdom, 1 from Germany (I'm not sure they understood what I had typed!) and 1 from Canada.

How Does One Get Off This Thing?

If you're wondering, the title is my favorite line from Indiana Jones: the Last Crusade. This WWI tank has two rifles, two side turrets, and room for two minifigs inside.

Alright men, we attack at sundown!

This is a small boat built by my brother that is made for beach attacks. the front flips up and down, and it can hold around four minifigures.
P.S. I highly encourage everyone 18 and under to send me pictures of their Lego models.

2011 Lego sets

I've caught some pics of some early 2011 Lego sets. From top to bottom: New Atlantis, Pharaoh's Quest, Minifigures Series 3, and Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu. There will also be new Star Wars, and Pirates of the Carribean.



H.E.V.A.T. s to the rescue!

This is a H.E.V.A.T. (I made it up a while ago, so I forgot what it stands for.) This is the desert ops version. as you can see, it is terrorizing enemy troops. The rifle that the one guy next to the vehicle is holding is from brickforge.

German Air Superiority


     Here, we have a German ME BF110. I built it myself, along with the WWII ambulance in the background. It has two cockpits that minifigs can fit in, a double-barreled machine gun, and landing gear. 

Star Wars Cubedudes

Hey, has anybody heard about Cubedudes? They're little cubeish models of people from movies and such. They were invented by some guy named Angus Maclane. I built my own star wars episode VI cubedudes, from left to right: Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Emperor Palpantine, and a royal guard. I got the schematics sorta mixed up though, the bodies should be 2 by 3, and the heads are 3 by 3. I also built a ton more, although I'm not sure if I took pictures of them.

recomendations

I have some interesting blogs and websites I would like to show to everyone. First up is my favorite, The Brothers Brick . Sometimes, you can't get to it, so type "lego blog" into Google, and click "cached" on the first thing that comes up. Next is Brickforge . They have tons of custom parts. same with Brickarms , except they sell mostly weapons for minifigures. Last, but not least is Brickfactory . They have a bunch of free instructions for both actual Lego sets, and custom sets.

Yee-haw!

Yes, I have FINALLY updated my blog. not that many people still look at it because it has become a bore. (If any of you remember, the last title was UUHHHH...) Anyway, I'll start with something good. Here's an old wild west model. It has all the normal wild west stuff, like a gunfight in the saloon, a bank robbery, and a general store. I would add more pictures, but the PC just isn't working well right now.

Uuuuuhhhhh....

This is a boat with a cabin, and,well, thats about all I can say.

Ahoy!


Land ho! this pirate ship is home to a ruthless band of pirates, itching to make a lubber or two to walk the plank! It's complete with a kitchen in the galley, the cap'n's  cabin, plenty of cannons, and a fold-up plank!

Transform!

This is NOT a Transformer, as you have to take off some parts to transform it. It goes from a high-powered battle mech to a supersonic jet fighter. I did take a video of it being transformed, but I'm not quite sure how to upload it.

Beware, Battle Droids!

Venator-Class star destroyers strike fear in the hearts of seperatist battle droids! (Assuming they have hearts!) This one is no exception. With opening command center, laser cannons, and a removable cockpit, this one is no exception.
