Looking for ideas for your next fairground set, TLG? tkel86 cleverly incorporates Power Functions in his Swing Ride.

Resident EB MOC expert snaillad was inspired by classic town sets and particularly the Paradisa theme when he built his Paradisa Cafe.

Public Service Announcement from Hinckley:

If you're discussing something new and exciting, say for example Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens, and you want to talk about something that would spoil a good part of the movie for people who haven't seen it, use spoiler tags. Thank you.

Example:

[spoiler] I'm a movie–spoiling jerk[/spoiler]

We already knew Dokludi can replicate, but apparently he can also alternate! Check out his alternate model for the 42039 - 24 Hours Race Car. Imagine this intimidating look in your rear view mirror...

It comes with Free building instructions!!

With the Star Wars Force Awakens hype going on around the globe, Eurobricks obviously needs to get on that Hype Train too. Or, in this case, on the Hype Shuttle. Our very own Reviewer's Academy teacher and global moderator WhiteFang will take you on board Kylo Ren's Shuttle.
