Tomb of the Mecha Pharaoh

This creation is inspired by one of my favorite LEGO sets from childhood — The Secret of the Sphinx. Back then, building with bricks felt like stepping into a distant, mysterious ancient world. It was pure joy, and even after all these years, that feeling has stayed with me.

For this challenge, I decided to reimagine that memory in my own way. The Sphinx statue has been transformed into a mechanical sphinx mech. It’s cooler, more dynamic, and definitely more fun to play with. The best part? Open the mech’s chest and you’ll discover the real secret: a sinister pharaoh hidden inside.

This is more than just a mech — it’s a tribute to childhood imagination. I hope it invites you into a world that’s as ancient as it is wildly fantastical.
