Your friendly neighborhood trans bricks

I know it's a WIP, but this is too good to pass up. Chis Doyle went to Canada with a bunch of trans-red, trans-blue, trans-clear and black bricks (and when packing for your vacation, isn't that what you'd bring?), and he came back with this mosaic

Edit - he's posted the final version:

Sandman versus Spider-Man

Xenomurphy gives us a classic battle.

Spidey and the Lizard

Andertoons gives us Spider-Man vs the Lizard battling it out in a sewer.

Pouch

Helenapuck made this pouch for her son to carry his Nintendo DS. She asked her boys what they wanted on their bags, and Jakob chose LEGO Spider-Man.

Wall of Fame

Here's the Wall of Fame from Legoland Windsor. Among the many characters there you can see your friendly neighborhood web-slinger.

Flash drives

Stefan Reiling has made a number of LEGO-based USB flash drives, including these. I think he sells these and other items - you can contact him via his Flickr account if you're interested.

ComicCon (an older one in Phoenix, not the current one)

These mosaics were on display at the recent Phoenix ComicCon. Again, I think this photo is by a con attendee, so I don't know the builder.

City scenes

When LUGs and LTCs put on large displays, you can often find fun little details hidden in there. Look close at the side of the building in this display by the Perth Adult Lego Society at a recent display in Australia.

Covers

ZeRadman has been reproducing classic covers like Detective Comics #27 and the Amazing Spider-Man #14.

Firestar

Burakki62 has made a great number of custom figs, including this Firestar.

We all get old

Given that Peter Parker was a teenager in Amazing Fantasy #15 in 1962, he's in in mid-sixties now. So Piglet Ciamek imagines that he's dreaming of retirement. All that singing about has got to be horrible when you've got arthritis!

Mmm, cake

Tweets Cakery made this great cake.

One More Day

In the One More Day storyline (here depicted by Dreamweb), Peter Parker and MJ Watson made a deal with the demon Mephisto to save Aunt May's life. This ended up in the demon erasing their life together, and reinventing the whole history of our favorite webslinger.



Also, thanks to Peregi for the heads-up!

Death by spider

Okayaraman imagines an alternative universe where a bite by a radioactive spider doesn't necessarily turn you into a hero.

Slightly smaller friendly neighborhood sculpture

This Spidey minifig sculpture is also in Dan Brown's Toy and Plastic Brick Museum. I assume this was also some sort of official LEGO store display, as opposed to someone's MOC, given the branding on the backdrop.

Friendly neighborhood sculpture

The Toy and Plastic Brick Museum is a labor of love by Dan Brown, who has been collecting large sculptures and rare models for some time now and opened an actual museum devoted to LEGO. Among the displays is this Spider-Man. I assume this was a promotional model from a LEGO store or similar outlet when LEGO released their Spider-Man line.

Set 1374 - Green Goblin

Another of the first run of Spider-Man sets was 1374, the Green Goblin. As with 1376, this set was organized as a subtheme of Studios, rather than a separate them. One interesting result of this is that the Green Goblin/Norm Osborne face was not really patterned after Willem Dafoe, but was rather the same actor who had appeared in earlier Studios sets. The Green Goblin fig is nice, though they improved it in the subsequent series by painting the mask. Sometimes the mask doesn't stay on my fig all that well. The torso is double sided and fairly versatile - one side could be some sort of green monster, and the other side (if you flip the arms and switch out the hands) could easily be a green formal shirt. Patterns on the legs and the back of the head further highlight the attention to detail on this fig. The Mary Jane Watson fig is another really nice character. Again the head and hair repeat an actress from earlier Studios sets. I really like the wisps of hair detail, and the double sided face lets you switch from damsel in distress to woman in control. As to the glider, it was a pretty disappointing build - pretty flimsy and the pearl gray pieces were made of a cheaper feeling plastic. Who cares, though? Let's face it, you were paying $7 for two key figures, which was a lot better than paying $24 essentially for the Spider-Man fig in set 1374.
