Seventies Sensation

Samurai!
As regular readers of TLCB will know, we’re not a fan of a particular American ‘SUV’. But we are fans of SUVs that do it right, and the tiny Suzuki Samurai is one such vehicle. Powered by a dinky...

Print-a-Buggy!
Well, parts of one… We usually only publish posts that feature genuine LEGO pieces here at TLCB (in fact it’s one of our submission criteria), however today’s creation warranted a closer look. Built...

Built Ford Tough (Probably)
This spectacular Technic pick-up truck is the work of previous bloggee Madoca1977, and unusually for a TLCB post we can’t tell you much about it. That’s because Madoca has so far released only a...

Orange Slice
The Elves know that orange Smarties are the best kind, and thus orange creations are highly sought after amongst our smelly little workforce. This find has pleased one of them greatly, as it’s now the...

Skip That – Technic 42024 Alternative
LEGO’s 42024 Technic Container Truck set received a fairly average review from our experts earlier in the year. Plenty of scope for improvement then. One builder to give improving the model a go is...

Halloween Themed Title
This may look like a tenuous attempt to link today’s post to the spooky festival in which we’re blogging it, but it was planned all along. Definitely. Anyway, this gorgeous Type 2 Volkswagen...

Dirty Datsun
Lego is designed to be used. Chewed. Dropped down the stairs. And, in this case, rally-driven through autumnal woods. VKTechnic is the builder, the 1970 Safari Rally winning Datsun 1600 is the car,...

Fiat Sell Out
We found this model too late for Halloween, but it would have been a perfect Frankenstein’s monster for the festival of all things horrible! Many vehicle manufacturers have sold off their old designs...

Little Loader
Following our review of LEGO’s own 42030 Technic Volvo Front Loader set it’s time for one of yours! This little front loader by TLCB debutant Appie might be much, much smaller than LEGO’s flagship...

Fire Bucket
But instead of sand, this one’s full of some very tasty Power Functions stuff. Previous bloggee sm 01 is the builder of this bewitching flame-decalled Model-T hot rod, and he’s packed it with...

Skid Row
TLCB Team were quietly working* away in the office today, when the sound of much commotion floated up the stairs from the Elves’ cage room. Sigh. A despondent traipse downstairs revealed the cause,...

Christmas Cruiser
If Santa used a car to deliver his presents rather than his magical sleigh, this would probably be it. Toyota’s Land Cruiser is one of the most successful off-road vehicles on the planet. Upon it’s...

Lock-In
LEGO’s Technic differentials are as beautifully simple and effective as the real-world versions fitted to every vehicle’s driven axel/s. But they’re rubbish off road. The solution, just like...

Smushery
This blogger stepped onto something soft and a little crunchy in the TLCB office today. An inspection revealed it as an Elf thoroughly smushed into the carpet. Hmm. A glance up the corridor revealed...

Moar Four by Four
We’ve publicised quite a few similar Technic off-roaders this week, but it’s what you lot are making! This Suzuki Samurai-esque remote control 4×4 by Damian Plesniak was discovered on Brickshelf. You...

Cherry Picked
You could say we cherry-pick the very best Lego vehicles for publication here at TLCB, and that this is some sort of metaphor, but that would be too tenuous a link even for us. Coincidentally, here’s...
