One LEGO enthusiast, Flickr user Chrispockster has built a wonderful scene straight out of olde time Japan. The scene is packed full of cool detail, great building techniques, and some really sweet minifigs. I especially love the Torii Gate and the Shinto priest.

It’s a world where you can build anything you want. Where the only limit is how many bricks you have.

Mecha (and hardsuits) are some of the coolest and most popular custom creations. Additionally, the anime-inspired LEGO Exo-force theme is all about mecha.

There are a variety of LEGO groups on Flickr and quite a few LEGO mecha groups. Practically every creation in the group pools is stunning.
