Are they cute? Did they help kick the Empire out of their planet? Did they like the shiny C3P0? Yes and all sorts of yes. While that’s true it’s important not to forget a key characteristic Ewoks share. They eat people. This video is a timely, LEGO powered, reminder.
Smaug the Tremendous in LEGO
This Smaug is a dragon made from LEGO by Fat Tony. The design uses gold foil bought from a craft store which has had real LEGO coins pressed into to make imprints. I think the effect works wonderfully well and LEGO Smaug looks quite happy on his gold heap. Via Fat Tony’s Flickr and Geek […]
You may not believe what powers this full sized LEGO car
This LEGO car runs on air. That’s not to say it hoovers air into its engine as it drives along as the video shows canisters but it is still very impressive. It was created Steve Sammartino a marketer from Melbourne and his super clever buddy Raul Oaida. There’s more than 500,000 pieces of LEGO in […]
The Falworth dragon
LEGO builder Mark of Falworth (sometimes known as Mark Erickson) is responsible for this very clever dragon. He uses Bionicle pieces to help create a dragon that looks smooth and fleshy. This isn’t a blocky box build at all. Check out his Flickr collection.
The LEGO Super Mario Mushroom the size of a pumpkin
This LEGO Mushroom design was put together by Dirk VH. The resulting build uses thousands of bricks but only a few shapes. The final mushroom is about the size of a pumpkin. The time-lapse video keeps track of the bricks while sharing some Mario ‘shroom factoids. I think it’s worth a watch.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes game trailer
The LEGO computer games have been a big hit. We’ve had LEGO Marvel boxsets and so a LEGO Marvel Super Heroes computer game makes a lot of sense. This is a chunky trailer, over 2 minutes long, but it’s worth a watch. There’s a plot which echoes The Chronicles of Doom and the Marvel Heroes […]
