Today was a big one for Nintendo. They pulled off a live stream preview of the Wii U via Nintendo UK. I was more impressed than I thought I’d be – but my expectations were pretty low. However, it was clear that there would be plenty of titles available at launch and that games like […]
LOTR’s Rivendell rendered in LEGO
The LEGO wizards Blake Bear and Jack Bittner have crafted an impressive hamlet out of LEGO. This is no ordinary and wonderous hamlet, though, this is Rivendell – the beauty from Lord of the Rings.
Posable LEGO Spider-man
Mike McCooey has crafted a very impressive Spider-man out of LEGO. Not only does this figure look like Spider-man but has an incredible 48 different points of articulation. That’s right; a LEGO model that you can move around and re-position based on 48 different joints. It’s well worth checking out his Flickr page for many […]
LEGO Lord of the Rings – surprisingly funny
This LEGO Lord of the Rings trailer is surprisingly funny. The game, from Warner Bros, is due out in the Autumn for a wide range of devices; 3DS, DS, PC, PlayStation 3, PSV, Wii and Xbox 360.
LEGO turns 80: The LEGO story
LEGO is a brand with an incredible family story attached. August the 10th, 2012 was LEGO’s 80th birthday. This video is about 20 minutes long but I found it very easy to watch. It tells the story of the carpenter who started LEGO, where the name came from and how the LEGO brick system was […]
The £275 Lego Death Star
Lego have a Death Star model, suitable for ages 14 and up, although it looks like it’s fully operational given the planet destroying laser ray we can see. There are a number of highlights in the 3,803 piece set. I love the R2D2 minifig – in fact, there are 24 different minifigs and droids. There’s […]
Incredible Warhammer 40k bolt pistol made entirely from Lego!
Jarek is an incredible lego builder. On his YouTube channel he explains that the reason the bolter doesn’t actually fire the bolts was tht he wanted a realistic way to seperate the bullet from the shell during shooting. He could easily build a gun that launched lego blocks – but didn’t think that would interest […]
Helm’s Deep in Lego – Lord of the Rings brick by brick
Daniel Z (check out his Flickr account) has created this staggeringly complex diorama of Helm’s Deep – out of Lego. Check out the landscape, the unheaven (extra effort) surface of the rock, and the architecture. The Lego Helm’s Deep was created for a store in the highstreet of Oslo called Outland and after a quick […]
LEGO samurai Oni slayer
Andrew Lee is a skilled Lego builder. Wintermute on BrickShelf and onosendai2600 on Flickr he is worth tracking if Lego is your thing. In any case, it’s certainly worth checking out this impressive Lego sumurai. I figure the warrior is holding the head of an Oni or similar, but Lee notes; “Someone needs to kick […]
The world’s tallest LEGO tower – more than 500,000 bricks
What did you do this weekend? A team of LEGO fans took four days to build a 500,000+ brick tower. Built at Legoland Windsor, the tower is built from 160 different colour sections that were constructed at ground level before a crane was used to help get them into position on the tower. The Lego […]
