MOCpages hasn’t been fixed for a week yet, and already the LEGO Community has moved onto a new calamity. You see, a crisis has arisen on Flickr. Well, we say crisis, in reality it’s no more than some children (AFOLs actually – but we amount to the same thing) getting annoyed at Flickr upgrading the site to make it more mobile-device friendly. AFOLs don’t like change. It’s like our kryptonite or something.
As such there are rumblings of an exodus not seen since Moses asked Pharaoh to let his people go. Why does this matter? Well, Flickr is one of the largest LEGO communities on the web, and as such it provides over half the creations for The Lego Car Blog (just take a look through past months’ posts to see its influence).
We’ll be monitoring the situation, and if it appears that we need to redirect a few Elves to a new photo-sharing website (e.g. ipernity) we’ll ensure we give them a nudge in the right direction.
So how can you help? Let us know if you, or others in your LEGO community, are going to make a move from Flickr to another photo-sharing site, or if you are going to stay Flickr-ing and wait for the storm to pass.
Wherever you choose to call your home though, we’ll continue bringing you the best LEGO vehicles that the web has to offer.

Here at The Lego Car Blog we occasionally like to feature creations by upcoming young builders which, whilst they might not be of the highest standard yet, sure look like they will be in the future. Suggested to us via the Feedback and Submission Suggestions page, Achintya Prasad becomes the latest teenage builder to feature here. His USS Cole ship above is just the start, as he’s built one much much bigger. See it and his other works on MOCpages, and if you’d like to see what other TFOLs are up to make sure you visit the TFOL World blog.
