Seeing Red
Another day, and another Elf returned to the dilapidated hovel that is TLCB’s office. Triumphantly we might add, for it was riding atop this superb SBrick-controlled RC trophy truck by...

Lego Land Cruiser 76
The Toyota Land Cruiser is the world’s infamous off-roader. Which means in some corners it’s very probably the most infamous vehicle of any kind. This is the 70-Series, produced since 1984 and which...

Indefensible
The more we see the new Land Rover Defender (which comes in officially licensed LEGO form too), the more we wish Land Rover had taken the approach of Suzuki, Mercedes-Benz, and now Ford, with their...

Skip This
Trucks such as this one always seem to have fancy names when LEGO produce them. Not at this blog though, where they are simply known as a ‘skip lorry’, seeing as they’re a lorry with an, er… skip....

The Boss
The muscle car market has gone mad in recent years. Upwards of 700bhp is now available from stock, and whilst many modern muscles cars have now added revolutionary new technologies such as ‘steering’...

Mr. Big Stuff*
This enormous green and cream spiky looking arrangement is a Krone BigX 770 with an EasyCollect 600-2, and it is – if you’re a TLCB Elf – not something that you want to see at all. Built by Michal...

Brick Built Bimmer
Gosh do we hate the BMW X3. Not a much as the X7, which numerically we hate just over twice as much, but still. However, our thoughts on BMW’s affront to ‘compact’ SUV styling are – like pretty much...

Front Loaded
It’s an exciting time to be a TLCB Elf today. One of their number found this; a magnificent Volvo-esque 4×4 wheel loader with full remote control. It comes from FT-creations and it’s packed with...

Hummers Suck
Categories of people that like Hummer; Under nines. TLCB Elves. Conspiracy-theorising, ‘FREEDOM!’-yelling neanderthals. Middle-eastern oil sheiks. Idiots. This is a Hummer H2, and we absolutely love...

Contain This
Most of what’s around you (unless you’re reading this on your phone in a field) got to where it is via a shipping container. They might just be big metal boxes, but the entire global economy hinges on...

Slowly Sovieting
Some might think today’s title could refer to Russia’s creeping direction under its definitely fairly democratically elected President, but – fortunately for us as we don’t want to experience...

Know The Drill
We often link to music here at TLCB, but not today, because drill music – named after the power tool that is simply horrific to listen to – sucks. Thus there’ll be no link to an appropriate drill...

Big Hero 6
This is a 1950s Berliet T100, a French-built, V12-powered 6×6 truck, with a gross weight of over 100 tons, and it was the largest truck in the world. Four T100s were built between 1957 and 1959, with...

Messing Up Afghanistan Since 1978

Camp Fire

Water on Mars
Mars. Our closest neighbour that isn’t orbiting us, and bleak desolate planet where water turns directly from a solid to a vapour, and back again. Cue BobDeQuatre‘s ‘Dionysus’ armoured water tanker, a...

Building Big
Really, really big. The human in the above picture is Beat Felber, a Lego builder of gigantic proportions. His models we mean. Surrounding Beat are ten spectacular fully remote controlled pieces of...

Surprise Squashing
‘Huh…’ thought this TLCB Writer as he entered the office today. The cause of the casual surprise was a weird yellow vehicle, trundling up and down the corridor with a gaggle of happy Elves in the...

Racing Point(less)
Racing trucks are a bit like starting a removal company with a Mazda Miata. There are vehicles considerably more suited to the task. But, much like moving house in a Miata, a racing truck is a...
