As a postscript to Mike's post below, I'll add that nnenn built a version of Peter's Tigret in his own style:

In other news, izzo has uploaded pictures of his third Bipedal (seen here next to a Square Suit :3). Also, it appears as though Brickshelf user "sky820923" has gotten his hands on some of LEGO's new linear actuators, and even tried them out!

Oh my....

More of the same

I leave for New Mexico in five days, where I will partake in pain, suffering and physical taxation of an extreme amount. I'm pretty excited.

I promise, I'll write an article to make up for the inferior quality of this post.

Classic Space and Classic Gaming

Peter Reid (of Neo-Classic Space fame) showed to us today on flickr a new ship and some fresh figs. He tosses the traditional coloration out the window which proves very refreshing. And as always with Pete, take a good look at the backgrounds as well.
On the other hand, brickshelf member "Nidaram12" made a very nice R.O.B.

Shogun

It may be standing very close close to the lamp, but Samus's Shogun mecha is surprisingly cool.

Mecha Saturday!

Okay, so there's really only one mecha today, but it's really good.

Kevin Guoh's Hume V.2 displays a lot of nice techniques and a unique style overall.

Bipedal

Izzo built a bipedal mecha as a tribute to fellow Japanese mecha builder Kwi-Chang. And it shows, as this is a step away from izzo's regular style:

Also, see the other bipedal he built a few days ago.

Holy ****!

The title is what I said aloud when I laid eyes on Jarek's newest microspace creation- the Muisek Missile Cruiser. It balances a variety of colors and round edges very nicely along with some triangular construction. Jarek proves once again that he is one of my favorite space builders.

Mmm, Mmm, MOCpages

I don't frequent MOCpages very much, but Curt Y's Morning Star Heavy Assault Mech may have just convinced me otherwise.

Sure, it isn't perfect, but Curt has some good shapes going on here, and I look forward to his future work.

BTW, can we do away with the mech tag? It's pretty redundant.

Cubizzim

Izzo has been experimenting with different sized baisc blocks to create mecha shapes. It's a seriously interesting idea, and, knowing izzo, it's probably going to result in some really cool mecha.

Don't think anything interesting could come of this? see for yourself.

Jacob

Occasional driving force of the blog, self-proclaimed Lukas fanboy, and aspiring engineer, Jacob spends too much time building LEGO, not enough time practicing piano, and not nearly enough time doing school. He also enjoys long sentences. In the instance of blogging, he believes in quantity over quality, wherever quantity can be maintained.

Mike

One of the cofounders of YSAB, and the founder of YSA, Observing Mike actually being productive is a rare occasion. Mike enjoys making outlandish claims in relation to actually building, pretending he's actually sorting his collection, and making excuses for why he hasn't photographed his MOCs. In his free time he enjoys learning CSS from Spook, photography and poking badgers with spoons.

Dean

Occasional builder, occasional blogger, and full-time procrastinator. That's really the only way to describe Dean. He rarely gets anything done, but is a very active lurker. He's probably seen and liked your MOC, but just forgot he had a blog.

Erik

Erik is still a teenager.

Lukas

Lukas is tall, blond, mildly OCD, and doesn't build nearly enough as he would like to, thanks to school. He has a webpage.

Spook (Tim)

The resident codemonkey and graphics person. If something isn't working correctly, it's probably his fault. Fitting to his name, he doesn't post often, but someone has to do this stuff too, right? Spook does build with laygoes, and has his own blog as well.
