Inspired by Theo Jansen’s Strandbeests LEGO builder Jason Allemann created this walking LEGO platform. I watch this video and think of houses in a post-apocalyptic zombie future. Zombies suck at climbing and tend to be slow. Ideally you’d want a fast place to live that was high up. Of course, your actual anti-zombie house would […]
Greenpeace to LEGO: Not Awesome
I love those little LEGO plastic bricks. I do. Greenpeace points out a problem. To help make those LEGO blocks the company has partnered with Shell. Greenpeace isn’t happy about Shell drilling the Artic for oil. To make their point Greenpeace (who are outstandingly good at digital marketing) commissioned a video. This video has the […]
Life sized Hatsune Miku created block by block in LEGO
Japan’s favourite digital idol Hatsune Miku took a step out of VR with this LEGO project. Chaosbrick made the first LEGO version of the Vocaloid star and now, years later, is back with this life sized version. To see more details, including some “fan service angles”, pop over to the Brickshelf for a gallery.
LEGO promotes women in science
After thinking about it for a while – LEGO’s decided to go ahead and produce a set of female scientist minifigure sets. We also get dinosaurs in the set. Well; a dinosaur skeleton anyway. LEGO picked these figures from suggestions given to it via LEGO Ideas and put the concept through an internal review process. […]
Wasteland ruins built in LEGO
This diorama by master LEGO builder Patrick Massey (aka MassEditor) is equal parts clever and impressive. I was first caught by how well the wasteland worked as a LEGO construct. I’d tried as an eager young war gamer to design wasteland terrains and always failed. However, given a bit of extra time to study the […]
Snake Mecha LEGO design
LEGO builder Jerac created this Ninjago styled snake mecha. There’s no doubt of the snakeyness here and that’s hard to do with blocks. At the same time the design oozes mecha with those rocket launchers on the shoulders and sinister crab-like legs.
Short film: Action Bill
There’s a lot going on in this short animation from AMAA Productions. Animated with LEGO Action Bill follows one busy day in the life of William Shakespeare. What happens? A couple of Star Trek captains happen, that’s what. Use this teleport link to randomly jump over to another video.
The Simpsons special: Brick Like Me
That’s right; The Simpson are doing a LEGO special and it’ll be filmed in brick. The LEGO-themed episode will air in the States, on Fox, on Sunday May 4.
Pan’s Labyrinth in LEGO
LEGO builder The Deathly Halliwell is packed with talent. He’s a builder able to engineer complex structures and bring to life fanciful visions. The Brothers Brick noticed this Pan’s Labyrinth pair. It’s the Faun and the Pale Man. Scary and good.
LEGO Nautilus prowling through the night fog
This picture is good enough to be part of a LEGO marketing campaign. Shown here is Alex Jones‘s Nautilus build – a design that’s based on the Disney version of the submarine capable of hitting 20,000 leagues under the sea. Yeah, sure, there’s just a touch of photoshop here but the night fog effect works […]
