Baby turtle appreciation post

While scrolling through some reviews over on New Elementary (great site by the way...go check it out), I came upon Tim Goddard's review of the Creator set 31031 Rainforest Animals. In typical fashion, Tim built some alternate models using the set's parts after he'd finished the review. He made a very nice seahorse but what really caught my eye was this adorable baby sea turtle: 

The set contains a plentiful amount of curved slopes, so with some clever usage of mini ball joints to add shaping, the elegant curves on this model weren't hard to construct. The Rainforest Animals set has actually been on my "to buy" list for a while, so maybe I'll go pick one up and construct one or two of these little turtles for my desk. This build may be small but it's actually one of the nicer creations I've seen in a while. 

Summer 2015 set reveal masterpost (images and analysis)

Some unofficial images of summer 2015 sets are starting to appear online, and I haven't seen them posted on any major LEGO blogs yet, so I figured I'd do a write-up here on Brickology. Imgur user Scarilian created an album of images from around the web; I'm using those images in this post for my own analysis of the sets. You can view the original album here.  

In this image we see the Ultra Agents set 71068 Drillex Diamond Job, which will be available soon (if it isn't already). However, in the background we can see part of another set, which seems to be some sort of ocean/dock structure (I'm thinking maybe an oil rig). A new villain minifigure can be seen, as well as what appears to be a new shark design. This set could be 70173 Ultra Agents Ocean HQ, which will go for $79.99 according to The Brick Fan's London Toy Fair 2015 report.
