The #10228 LEGO Monster Fighters Haunted House has been one of the most praised recent LEGO sets. It is full of exciting features, a great color-scheme, and interesting building techniques. In addition, the Haunted House appeals not just to LEGO Monster Fighters fans, but also fans of the LEGO Modular Houses, or just people who are into the whole Halloween, creepy monsters and half-dead creatures genre. 😈

We have already talked about the LEGO Monster Fighters Haunted House in a previous post (see: LEGO Monster Fighters Haunted House Coming!), and today I would like to show you a stop-motion video, building the Haunted House. This video is pretty much the next best thing besides building the set yourself. It gives you a good idea of the building process and the techniques used. Quite an experience! Check it out!

Really well done stop-motion, isn’t it? And the light-up version of the Haunted House (shown towards the end) is a great idea! If you would like to learn more about the set, you can check out the previous post with lots of pictures, details, and a video with the designer of the set. See here: LEGO Monster Fighters Haunted House Coming!

Whether you are into LEGO Monster Fighters or not, I think this is a wonderful set both for display, and also for parts. I just love all those sand-green bricks, window-shutters and wood-grained tiles! What do you think?

If you are considering buying this set, you can do so on LEGO’s website: #10228 LEGO Monster Fighters Haunted House. Please note that this month you would also get a Free Exclusive LEGO Zombie Car with your order with an extra zombie you can add to your Haunted House. 😉

There is also a LEGO Halloween Accessory set, which is not part of the LEGO Monster Fighters series, but it would go well with the Haunted House. It is in a completely different section on LEGO’s website, so it is hard to find, but here is the direct link: #850487 LEGO Halloween Accessory Set

The best LEGO Lord of the Rings dioramas

by on September 13, 2012
in Featured LEGO Creations

Lord of the Rings fans have been wishing for many years for LEGO to pick up the Lord of the Rings license and recreate the magic of Middle Earth. Well, the LEGO Lord of the Rings sets are now here, and The Hobbit sets coming soon, so wish granted! 😛

Although it seems everyone is happy about the LEGO Lord of the Rings minifigures, there has been some disappointment over the sets themselves. Some LEGO Lord of the Rings fans consider the sets too small and lackluster compared to what could be done within the theme; majestic towers, beautiful castles, great forests, expansive landscapes, huge armies…

Unfortunately LEGO designers’ hands are tied by the logistics of putting together something that could still be sold at a reasonable price-point. Could they have done better? Perhaps. That is a whole discussion in itself. However LEGO fans themselves are limited only by their imagination, and the number of LEGO bricks they have. So today, I thought to explore some of the best LEGO Lord of the Rings dioramas made by LEGO fans.

➡ LEGO Lord of the Rings Rivendell – created by two 16-year-olds, Blake Baer & Jack Bittner, this is the largest LEGO Rivendell scene I have come across. The beautiful details really capture the peacefulness and serenity of the land of the elves. Check out the full gallery here: LEGO Lord of the Rings Rivendell

➡ LEGO Lord of the Rings Helms Deep – another massive Lord of the Rings diorama created by Daniel Z for a store in Oslo, Norway. Wish we could have gotten this one, instead of the one released by LEGO! Don’t you think? Being able to afford it would be another matter though. More pictures here: LEGO Lord of the Rings Helms Deep

➡ LEGO Lord of the Rings Minas Tirith – built for Brickworld in 2011 by Chris Phipson, Mark Kelso and the Fellowship of the Brick. In fact Minas Tirith is just one small part of this collaboration. The Fellowship took up the huge task of building the entire Middle Earth! You can see a lot more pictures and follow their journey to this massive project here: LEGO Lord of the Rings Journey of the Fellowship

➡ LEGO Lord of the Rings Last March of the Ents – created by OneLUG members, the base of the model is 305 LEGO studs (8ft.) in diameter and the tower stands 228 LEGO bricks (7ft. 2in.) tall. The epic battle consist of 23 Ents and 100+ Orcs. I highly recommend checking out the full gallery for detailed photos and videos: LEGO Lord of the Rings  Last March of the Ents

Awesome creations, aren’t they? Not all of the LEGO Lord of the Rings are sets are so huge though. There are also some lovely smaller ones that capture the magic of Lord of the Rings and its heroes. Here are some examples:

➡ LEGO The Hobbit Queer Lodgings – Blake Baer created a whole set of small scenes from The Hobbit depicting the adventures of Gandalf, Bilbo and the dwarves. Check out the whole gallery here: LEGO The Hobbit Set

➡ LEGO Lord of the Rings Council of Elrond – a smaller vignette by Harry Russell depicting the all-important meeting that led to the formation of the Fellowship. See here: LEGO Lord of the Rings Council of Elrond

➡ LEGO Lord of the Rings Grey Havens – even in micro-scale you can create something beautiful! This gorgeous scene from the end of the saga is faithfully depicted by infomaniac using forced-perspective and micro-building techniques. Picture here: LEGO Lord of the Rings Grey Havens

And there are many-many more LEGO Lord of the Rings scenes and dioramas created by devoted Lord of the Rings fans. This is just a sample to get you inspired and to see what is possible.
