Rotheran Tower
23 VII 15
Rotheran Tower by Deviet has been a WIP for the past year, but it was definitely worth the wait. "Rotheran Tower, once the proud home of the Rotheran family, has fallen in the hands of a feared outlaw clan. The tower is located in Wolfpack territory wich led to a bloody clan war. In their efforts of taking over the surrounding land, they have captured a Wolfpack Clan leader." Check this out, along with all of Deviet's MOCs, on Flickr and then discuss it in our forum.

70751 Temple of Airjitzu
10 VII 15
I know this hit the internet a couple of days ago, but today is the official unveiling of 70751 Ninjago Temple of Airjitzu. We usually focus on more traditional castle themes here at CC, and Ninjago staggers in and out of being directly on point for castle builders (great buildings, alternating with motorcyles and mecha). As long as you ignore a couple of anachronistic figs, though, this set would fit perfectly in an Asian-themed castle layout. The set will run US$200, which is a lot, but it's a large set, with 2028 pieces, 12 minifigs (including, as far as I know, every non-villain main character in the Ninjago world), some elements in new colors, and some very advanced building techniques. Brickset has the full press release and more pictures, and you can see two LEGO representatives show off details of the set in the announcement video. If you are at Comic-Con this weekend, I assume this set is on prominent display in the LEGO booth. Check out the details and discuss this set in our forum.

The Stargazer
9 VII 15
Those of you in New Zealand should check out the Christchurch Brick Show this weekend. Forum member Legonardo (David Hensel) will be there, and he's bringing this MOC, the Stargazer. Here's his description:
"The Mystic Isles of Avalonia house many diverse persons, creatures and landscapes. Wonderful Wallace, Brother of Senneck and Harry the Hallucinating Healer, is one of them. He lives in solitude in the middle of a small cluster of islands in the center of the isles. Unlike his elder and younger siblings, Wallace has deviated from potions and other magic, and found his love in astronomy. He spends his days charting the skies, bartering with the local fishermen, and smoking pipe-weed. Also like his brothers, he has an incredibly awesome beard, which he takes great pride in. potentially more pride than what he has in his astronomical discoveries."
You can see all of Legonardo's MOCs on Flickr and then discuss the Stargazer in our forum.

6086-X Return to the Black Knights Castle
1 VII 15
CC member Dubbadgrim went back to 1992 for inspiration, taking a new look at a classic set, to come up with 6086-X Return to the Black Knights Castle. His reinterpetation is greatly expanded and built with modern techniques, but still uses the aesthetic scheme and the playability of the original. Check out all the pictures of this MOC on Brickshelf and then discuss it in our forum.
