I had the chance to put a display in my LEGO Store--one of the perks of being in a LUG near a store that has a Window To the Community. I built a scene around the summer 2012 Marvel comic event Avengers Vs X-Men. You can find this at the LEGO Store in the Tysons Corner Center Mall in Northern Virginia for April and the first couple days of May. While the comic series was mediocre overall, the inspiration was welcomed. I took that and created this: I've included the iconic Cyclops blasting Captain America scene: ...as well as the fight that had everyone wondering how Iron Man even stood a chance: Iron Man in his mech, blasting the Phoenix Force, was essential to creating the Phoenix Five: And I threw in a few other scenes to round it all out: And I couldn't resist throwing this underneath: I have to admit, Rogue is one of my favorite figs I've ever made from a pre-established work. More pix found here. So what do you think? Who's side are you on: The Avengers or the X-Men? -CF

My LUG gets to display at the LEGO Store(s) in the area, and April was my month for Tysons Corner's LEGO Store in Virginia. While Marvel's Avengers Vs X-Men comic event was mediocre in the summer of 2012, I can't deny the inspiration it gave me: Topic here. Brickshelf gallery here. Can you guess which part is my favorite? The Avengers are fighting the X-Men because they want to apprehend a mutant (Hope Summers) who they believe might cause destruction to humankind if the Phoenix Force, currently on its way to Earth, has the chance to posses her, due to then nature of her powers. The X-Men would rather the Avengers stay out of the way and let them deal with one of their own kind. Things get nasty for 12 issues, which was about 5 issues too long (not to mention all the tie-ins). Still, the chance to make some X-Men minifigs that LEGO hadn't and then pair them up with several Avengers was something I couldn't pass up for the display. The kids visiting the store wouldn't care some of this stuff didn't happen or didn't look perfect like the comics, and the adults that might have read the comic series would get a kick that I made it out of LEGO in the first place. The LEGO employees there that night knew what it was and loved it. The next goal is to show off my SHIP at Potomac Mills, because their display is visible from all 4 sides and will fit a 103-stud long spaceship. -CF
