Wonderful stuff. This is just the sort of nondescript '90s crappy automotive Americana we love to see! https://thelegocarblog.com/2022/03/15/fleetwood-brick/ FYI; The 'Festival of Mundanity' competition - running until the end of March at BrickNerd and TLCB - is looking for vehicles just like this one.

Hello 2God This looks absolutely fantastic. Would you be able to message us via the contact page at thelegocarblog.com? We'd love to chat further with you All the best TLCB Team

We've taken a look with our incredibly untrained eye. It'd be interesting to know whether those smarter than us (which will be all of you) agree; We'd guess 42122 features pendular suspension, steering, fold down rear seats, and a winch. We think there is no engine, 4x4, or diffs An opportunity missed? 42122 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Set Preview Edit - We've just sent the video above, which seems to bak this up. Boo.

As a site that depends on MOCs to function, we think LEGO creations are probably being built at the same rate they always were. However, our Elves are definitely going hungrier. MOCpages being dead wasn't a help, and a lot of models are now hidden behind 'account required' platforms such as Instagram and Facebook, which we will not use. Perhaps the internet is crying out for a new LEGO-creation-sharing-only platform, without a hidden agenda of monetising instructions or driving traffic to a YouTube channel. One thing that does seem apparent though, is that many builders (and perhaps an increasing percentage) prefer to build others' designs rather than invent their own. The single largest quantity of messages we receive is 'Can I have instructions?', although often spelt worse, and rate at which we receive these is increasing all the time. This is - we think - a real shame. For us, only building without creating/inventing/designing for oneself misses the very purpose of LEGO. TLCB Team www.thelegocarblog.com

This looks fantastic. The addition of a giant watermark across the middle of the images means we can't share it though.

TLCB LOCK-DOWN B-MODEL COMPETITION | WINNERS ANNOUNCEMENT! Winners Announcement! After two months of brilliant B-Model building, forty of your amazing alternates have made the competition shortlist and appeared here at The Lego Car Blog! Many entrants also saw their work featured here for the first time too, so an extra congratulations to those of you who debuted at TLCB with your contest entry. Our Elves now know who you are (which is far less scary than it sounds), and will be watching your builds with interest! Judging the forty creations that made the shortlist was incredibly tough, with some genuinely stunning models created only from the parts found within an official LEGO set. Ford Mustangs were turned into AC Cobras and Citroen DS19s, LMP1 racers into Formula 1 cars and Dodge Chargers into LMP1 racers, there were trucks of all kinds; including tow trucks, roll-off trucks, hook-lift trucks, and even Bugatti trucks, Fiat 500’s became aircraft, and so much more besides. Well done to all our shortlisted entrants, we hope you had fun building your B-Models, and we may be back with another competition at some point with more chances to win some awesome loot!

You’re stuck inside, we’re stuck inside Build us a B-Model to win an AWESOME prize! Whilst we’re all stuck inside we want to see what you can build with your LEGO pieces locked-down, whilst in lock-down!

There are some incredible prizes on offer from the awesome guys at SBrick, the leading remote control solution in the building toy market, allowing you to control your models remotely using a smart device like a phone, tablet, gamepad, or even Chromebook, MAC or PC! The Rules Build us a B-Model from only the pieces found within a single official LEGO set. The set can be from any era or theme, including Technic, Creator, Town, Space, Pirates… everything except Galidor. You may also choose to use the pieces from two official LEGO sets if the RRP of each set was below $25. Photograph and upload your B-Model to Flickr, MOCpages, Brickshelf, or Eurobricks between May 1st and June 30th 2020. You must include the words ‘TLCB Lock-Down Competition’ or a link to this page somewhere in the creation’s title or description, so that we know you’re entering it. You don’t actually have to be in Lock-Down to enter, although do please abide by whatever the COVID-19 advice is in your country of residence. How to Enter If you upload your B-Model to one of the free-to-use creation-sharing sites above with ‘TLCB Lock-Down Competition’ in the title or description our Elves will find it. You can also contact us in the usual ways or post a message on our Facebook page with a link to your creation if you want to make sure we’ve seen it!
