I think we need a Lego thread. To kick it off, here's something I found today: http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/638 Another link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/maxvf1/ And some sample pics:

https://chowbrick.com/jiestar-58144-sdf1-macross-w-lights_p5977.html Is this news? I did a search on the boards but didn't find anything. Also, I'm putting this here because the box has Robotech branding. I'm not familiar with Jie Star, but it looks to be a Chinese "not-Lego" brand of building bricks. They make all sorts of kits, including scenery, video game stuff, anime stuff, real-world cars, etc, but of particular interest around these parts would be this nearly 4700 piece, almost 700mm long SDF-1 Macross kit. Apparently the completed kit has working lights and can transform without disassembly.

A little bit demotivated by the big build that was my yf-19, I tried this time with a more pocket sized valk, so I did an SD vf-1s currently working on instructions on stud.io

LoThis was a project of sleepless nights and still there is some frustration as I could not make it hold its own weight in gerwalk.

Oh. Man.

I did this built as an homage to the beautiful Banpresto arcade game, modifying a comercial set, all and all I like the retro gaming nostalgic vibe.

I wanted to display my 1/12 figures in a cockpit so I did my best to recreate it in scale with nanoblock building blocks

Hi guys ! So after finishing the SDF-1 I thought that something was missing. Of course the SDf-1 can't be without it's squadron of valks. I loaded up Lego Digital Designer and started on working on Hikaru's VF-1A from DYRL. I didn't want to spend all that much time, so I decided that I'd only build it in battroid mode, no transformation. Finished product sports approx 1030 bricks, a lot less than the 11.000 brick heavy SDF-1. Now it's time to start the actual build.

Two years ago, in 2015, a video of a LEGO SDF-1 on Youtube, inspired me to build my own version from scratch. The build started in LDD (LEGO Digital Designer) which took roughly one year. In 2016 I started to acquire all the needed parts for the build. The build was completed in February 2017. Build time: 2 years Bricks: approx. 11.000 Length: 43.3 inches or 1.1 meters weight: approx 33lbs or 1kg Does it transform ?: No And here are pictures of the completed SDF-1.

The Lego Movie is an upcoming 3D animated film directed by Phil Lord & Chris Miller (Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs) and Chris McKay (Robot Chicken), and will be the first full-length movie based on the bestselling Lego toy line.

The Lego Movie hits theaters on February 7, 2014. Official Site

I was thinking about the Spartas (RT: Dana Sterling's Hovertank) recently. It's the one Matchbox Robotech toy that eludes me mostly because I'm too cheap to cough up the $100+ for the ones that languish on eBay. But I have a ton of LEGO thanks to my wife who years ago robbed some teens blind at a garage sale. I decided to give this a try knowing that it's transformation is really one of the easier ones out there for transforming mech. This is my version 1, took me roughly 8 hours of dedicated work. It helps that I've had practice trying to build LEGO mechs with the standard system, bionicle, and the newer hero factory lines. https://www.flickr.com/photos/18239022@N00/22445795997/in/dateposted-public/ I posed it next to a Matchbox Bioroid for reference. Sadly the Matchbox Southern Cross toys are way out of scale with each other. My transformation is not completely accurate. The curvy part, or hood of the tank, should actually hang down like a skirt from the waist in battroid mode. I might try to fix it, but really I'm more eager to the bottom of the legs in white, so I'll probably be placing a Bricklink order soon.

I taken at least one serious stab at getting a decent looking Orgoid put together in LEGO, but I was never happy with the results. The orgroid is a challenge because of all the organic looking curves it uses. While it's transformation is very Valkyrie like, it's easier to pull off if you have wide variety of Bionicle parts. Getting the look to come out right is the bigger challenge because Bionicle parts just really don't want to be combined with the classic LEGO system parts. Anyways here is the result of a few hours work, taking what I've learned from my previous attempt. I still need to come up with a head and figure out how to do the backpack hinge.

"This is my LEGO Valkyrie. There are many like it, but this one is mine..." The design is actually by a member of the Lego User Group of Los Angeles, Daikon Cat: http://www.daikoncat.com/macross-vf-1a-valkyrie.html I've taken some liberties mostly do to lack of correct parts often due to the wrong color. I thought the bionicle hands were fine and very evocative of the chunky monkeys, so I decided against building articulated hands.
