Just in time for Star Wars Day tomorrow, LEGO has announced one more new set coming out this summer. LEGO Star Wars 75428 Battle Droid with STAP will consist of 1,088 pieces and offers the first brick-built Battle Droid since LEGO Technic 8001 Battle Droid back in 2000.

It's not too often that the LEGO bricks line up in a way that we can do a theme day here at TBB. But when two great builders push the limits on a certain hard-to-use part, it's tough not to write them up together. We already saw Nate's spaceship earlier today, and now we're treated to this delightful gnome-built cottage by Maxx Davidson, both built around this human-sized LEGO mug.

Even if your aim's so terrible that you can't hit the broadside of a barn, you can certainly use one to hide, as we see in this LEGO vignette by Mihał Ch (BardJaskier). With an army dressed similarly to the 10297 Boutique Hotel staff hiding in the foreground, my attention is drawn to the expect techniques used in the granary. Brown brick-built doors look sturdy as can be and the foundation is appropriately cobbled.

While LEGO Batman will forever be Will Arnett, there's certainly room for creations that take the caped crusader a bit more seriously. For instance, check out this glorious scene from Batman Begins by Joe (jnj_bricks). Within their temple high in the Tibetan Himalayas, the League of Shadows is about to adopt a new member. But Bruce Wayne manages an escape from Ra's al Ghul and his minions. Here we see the explosion that kicks off the action-packed scene, frozen in plastic-y time.

Sometimes, one can forget that LEGO is more than just studs, tubes, and minifigures. There are so many other connections available to the savvy constructor. And there are few as savvy as TBB alum Mansur Soeleman (lamborghiniwafflesauce), as we can see in his space-y creation titled The Mirrorheim. Featuring so many twisting tubes and clipped panels, his model is a paragon of micro space construction.

While Jeff Kinney may be the original creator of Manny Heffley from the Diary of a Wimpy Kid franchise, builder SDR. may be the first one to immortalize is visage in LEGO. Younger brother of series protagonist Greg, the smallest of the Heffley clan is also the most spoiled (or at least from the perspective of the Diary, he is).

Next weekend, the LEGO convention Brickvention will return to Melbourne, Australia, bringing with it so many brick-built creations from the continent. Now we've seen some pretty impressive stuff from this show in past years, so it should be no surprise that a LEGO dragon of this scale will be making an appearance for this year's con. From the mind of Donny Chen, this marker of the coming Chinese New Year 2024 can stretch out to 2 meters long and contains 1300 2×4 oval tiles as golden scales.
