I Want Very Much: Custom DC Superheroes Lego Minifigs
Wednesday, September 8th, 2010Lego minifig customizer and photographer Julian Fong–a.k.a., the grown-up equivalent of the kid I would have made friends with in grade school just so I could play with his awesome toys–has created an impeccable custom Lego minifig for just about every* superhero of note from the DC Universe. The Justice League, the Teen Titans, the Justice [...]
The Traveler Has Come!: Ghostbusters Lego Diorama
Friday, August 27th, 2010If I had* a Lego Diorama Room in my house, it would look a hell of a lot like this. Photo credit: Don Solo on Flickr Credit Bill Ward for the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man and Brian Conti for the rest of the scene, which won “Best Minifig Scene” at Bricks by the Bay.

Who’s the Architect?: Scenes from Inception in LEGO
Friday, August 6th, 2010These vignettes by Lego artist Profound Whatever faithfully recreate the tone, scenery, and coloration of Inception, and beautifully captures the movie’s spirit of, “Hey, lots of pretty things and fast-paced deployment of convoluted logic will distract you from the plain fact that none of this makes any sense, ok?

Via Brothers Brick, who doesn’t know about this whole “boggling” thing, but is always up for a good [...]

Thursday, July 8th, 2010I’ve never met a stop-motion animated scene of Lego-on-Lego violence I didn’t like. Via Geekologie, who’s packing plastic heat. Find Lego Brickarms on Ebay
But Is There Central Heating?: A Real Lego House [Video]
Tuesday, July 6th, 2010Apparently it only took a bit over 3 million Legos and 1,200 volunteers to build this two-story house–made entirely of Legos–for the first episode of James May’s Toy Stories on the BBC. I would have guessed something like 10 million Legos and 87 really hard-working Lego geeks, but my powers of estimation pale in comparison [...]
