This 18,000-Piece Custom LEGO Fortress of Solitude Commands Your Absolute Attention

All of us need some time off every now and then, and even superheroes, no matter how indestructible and invulnerable they are, still need some little R and R. If Batman has his Bat Cave (aka Wayne Manor), and the Avengers their Avengers Mansion, where does an alien from Krypton hang out? Well, behold this massive, 18,000-piece custom LEGO Fortress of Solitude!

Building the Awe-Inspiring Custom LEGO Fortress of Solitude

This was the challenge posed by Jessica Farrell via her Deviantart Gallery through her faithful recreation of the “Fortress of Solitude” from the original 1978 film, Superman. Created by a shard from the planet Krypton and hidden in the remote Arctic, the Fortress of Solitude is Superman’s home-away-from-home, where he receives instruction from his father, Jor-El.

Jessica’s brick creation focuses largely on the natural icy exterior that envelopes the enigmatic pyramid-like crystal structure. Her excellent sense of topography, scaling, and her clever use of proper lighting commands absolute attention.

Similar to what she did with her other work, Her Majesty’s Theater, where she focused primarily on developing its exquisitely detailed interior, the Fortress of Solitude gives more emphasis on the exterior details of the cave-like structure.

Close Up Images of the Custom LEGO Fortress of Solitude

This mini-version (yeah, sure) of the Kryptonian’s vacation home required a total of 18,864 pieces and 160 hours to build – or roughly a month if Jessica worked on it full-time. No wonder that only a person with such fortitude as Jessica’s can accomplish this seemingly superhero-like feat.

This awesome custom LEGO Fortress of Solitude is a fitting testament to how a bit of reflection and privacy can benefit all of us, superheroes or normal guys as we are.

We hope to see this build get its much-deserved attention, together with the rest of Jessica’s work. Don’t forget to visit the rest of her gallery here.

This Custom LEGO Finding Dory Build Is A Promising One

This custom LEGO Finding Dory managed to enter the LEGO Ideas platform and needs your support!

Thirteen years ago, Disney and Pixar introduced to us what could be the most famous of all sea creatures ever rendered in CGI. ‘Finding Nemo’ was hailed not just for the good, and family values that it offered but also for the technical feats that Pixar accomplished during its time.

Set in the colorful underwater world of corals, squids, turtles, and sharks (remember the oath: ‘fish are friends, not food.’), Finding Nemo has set a milestone in computer-aided animation. This year, a long-overdue sequel is now slated to hit the big screen and this time, the one missing might prove to be a little bit difficult to find. ‘Finding Dory‘ is Pixar Animation Studios latest 3D computer-animated comedy-adventure released by Walter Disney Pictures.

This Custom LEGO Finding Dory Aims to Become the Next Official LEGO Ideas Set

Following the timeline of the original 2003 hit movie ‘Finding Nemo’, Dory, the forgetful but ever-reliable Blue Tang fish, suddenly recovers her childhood memories. With the help of her friends, Nemo and Marlin, they set off to find the ‘Jewel of Monterey’ with the hopes of reuniting Dory with her family. And what better way to celebrate the release of this recent underwater adventure through a custom LEGO Finding Dory build over at LEGO Ideas.

Custom LEGO Ideas Finding Dory Features

To help out in the search, LEGO Ideas contributors BuildFiend and Nunki-psi, came up with their replica of our colorful threesome sea friends. With 228 supporters and a lead time of 263 days, the duo hopes to garner 10,000 nods of approval from other LEGO supporters in order for their creation to be noticed and hopefully produced by LEGO. Their original creation includes:

Nemo with a stand on a coral reef vignette (and a little shrimp!)
Marlin with a stand on a coral reef vignette (and a transparent jellyfish!)
Dory with a stand on a coral reef vignette (and Squishy!)

All builds are playable with each having a nice display piece. All of the characters’ fins (yes, even Nemo’s ‘lucky fin’) and eyes are moveable and poseable, including Marlin’s mouth. With a total brick count of 611 pieces, their proposed Finding Dory build is a pretty great compliment for the upcoming movie. Check out the rest of their photos below.

LEGO Star Wars The Force Awakens Video Game Coming June 28, 2016

For those who are excited about its arrival, the LEGO Star Wars The Force Awakens video game is now officially slated to be released on June 28!

It is bound to happen: Microsoft’s Xbox has announced on its website the release of yet another LEGO Star Wars video game, and this time it claims that “The Force is strong with this one.” Riding on the recent success of its two-billion-dollar movie counterpart, it wouldn’t come as a surprise if LEGO announces the release of the LEGO Star Wars The Force Awakens video game to keep the force moving.

LEGO Star Wars The Force Awakens – What You Need to Know

Developed by UK-based TT Games, the LEGO Star Wars line-up has already made a distinct brand for itself, with endearing features and gameplay that are all too familiar to the fans of the series. True to its form, it promises the same light, but exquisitely challenging game modes, immersive shooting action, and of course, tons of virtual bricks to collect and to build ships and props from the Star Wars franchise.

Typical LEGO Humor and Star Wars Action Rolled Into One

Not to mention the comedic antics of their minifig counterparts that are sure to draw laughter from children and adults alike. Xbox players may choose to follow either the light or dark side of the force by taking the roles of Rey, Finn, Poe, BB-8, Kylo Ren, Han Solo, and the rest of the characters from the movie. I guess it is safe to assume that we’ll be seeing all of the characters featured in the game’s cover art at some point in the game.

Watch the video game’s trailer below:

Though all of these may sound standard fare for all LEGO-based video games, Xbox promises a different take on the LEGO Star Wars The Force Awakens storyline. This time, the game will feature “exclusive playable content that bridges the story gap between Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi and Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” as mentioned on the Xbox website.

This is sure to gather more interest among gamers as they’re treated with unexpected twists and turns during the transition from Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, and Episode VII: The Force Awakens.

Feature-Rich Games Modes

But the best promise of immersive gaming experience may actually come from the various game modes that come along with LEGO Star Wars The Force Awakens. For the first time ever, TT Games introduces the Multi-Build and Blaster Battles modes in the game’s line-up.

“With Multi-Builds, use available LEGO bricks to open up new paths, then break them apart and re-build them again to open up another! And another! During Blaster Battles, use your surroundings as cover to stand against the First Order,” as Xbox describes it. We hope that the Blaster Battles will also include network-based, free-for-all, and coop gameplay.

Well, we can dream all we want, but in the meantime, we just have to wait for around five months before we can actually grab a copy and pound once again on our controllers. For now, this teaser video might give us a laugh or two. I guess even under his intimidating mask, Kylo Ren may have a chuckle or two when his lightsaber’s hilt needed several taps before he could get it to work right.

Availability and Release Date

LEGO Star Wars The Force Awakens is scheduled to be released on June 28, 2016. The last LEGO-based game to be launched recently was Marvel’s Avengers on January 26.

Here’s How To Build Your Own Custom LEGO BB-8

This custom LEGO BB-8 is simple enough to be built at your own home using LEGO bricks that you may have lying around.

The latest addition to the Star Wars family of droids has already left a mark on the hearts of endearing fans. The non-human but adorable BB-8 droid, with its flair for the dramatic, quickly gained a following among the younger generation of Star Wars fans – not to mention a host of toys and other promotional memorabilia.

Since the last quarter of the year, the internet has been riddled with so many iterations of BB-8 either as toy figures, or actual working models, and this may be the first attempt to create this droid from actual LEGO pieces. Sure, we know that LEGO is quick to catch on to the LEGO Star Wars hype.

It even has a minifigure of BB-8 on one of its offered sets. However, it is yet to offer the actual challenge of building the iconic droid itself. So while waiting for LEGO to release such a brick-built version of the newest droid on the block, let’s take a look at this custom LEGO BB-8, and see if you can build one of your own.

How to Build Your Own Custom LEGO BB-8

One such fan took on the challenge of marrying his love for the Star Wars franchise and his love for the LEGO brick. Mashable’s Adario Stranger reports, “A Reddit user by the name of “hendrikdejager” recently posted his own LEGO version of the BB-8 droid on the site and it turned out pretty awesome. The mechanics of putting the Lego-made droid together are pretty tedious, which is why the maker posted a demonstrational how-to video (above) on YouTube on Tuesday”. Other than his video, this clever LEGO enthusiast also posted a detailed parts list for anyone else who wants to try their hand at making their own custom LEGO BB-8.

Watch this video and see if you can build one of your own.
