LEGO’d Inspirations From LEGOCLICK
Wednesday, January 13th, 2010What could possibly be better than LEGOs and stop motion? That man’s mustache, that’s what. My God, it is glorious.
Think of that little bolt of excitement that hits when the solution to a problem suddenly becomes clear. That’s a CLICK moment in action. Consider times when a great idea comes out of the shadows of [...]
LEGO Rube Goldberg Machine
Tuesday, December 8th, 2009Why? I don’t know, why not? I guess it’s pretty cool. I mean, all Rube Goldberg machines are. And then there’s that whole element of LEGOs. That amplifies any already existing awesomeness by something like 10.3987 times. Yet… I feel like I could be more impressed. Then again, I did just watch that Happy In [...]
LEGO Movie Posters

Check out the full list here.

LEGO-fied Jack Skellington
Sunday, January 4th, 2009Flickr-er Legohaulic has adapted Burton’s Jack Skellington to LEGO form and the results are a major success. Man, LEGO and the Nightmare Before Christmas mashed up together in one entity? I think I’ve filled my geek out quota for the night. Well…almost.

Minifig Rap Album Covers
Sunday, December 14th, 2008The folks over at Format are featuring a collection of 20 rap album covers that were recreated with LEGO minifigs. Here’s a few of my favorites (for obvious reasons). I’d also heavily suggest giving them a listen.
Madness? This Is Sparta!
Wednesday, November 5th, 2008Check out Flickr-er keithcku’s impressive LEGO minifig recreation of the 300 cover. I’d be really curious to know just how he went about executing it to settle my debate with Timmy about how much is lighting and how much is photoshop. But I guess it doesn’t really matter that much as we agreed that [...]
Beached LEGO?
Sunday, November 2nd, 2008A large LEGO figurine has washed up on the beach of Brighton and nobody knows where it came from.
The Lego man is 6ft tall in red, yellow and green. It is presumed to have washed up on the beach, but whether it has come from a cargo ship or from across the Channel is not [...]
Alien Minifig
Thursday, October 30th, 2008Brickshelf member pirie1 entered this Alien-inspired minifig in the Fine Clonier Haunted Halloween Custom Minifig Contest. Man, this still gives me the heebie jeebies, even in minifig form.
The contest will continue to run into tomorrow. Also, they are accepting multiple entries, you know, if you just so happen to have any awesomely modded spooky LEGO [...]
Anatomy Of The LEGO Minifig
Wednesday, October 15th, 2008Jason Freeny, the artist and designer who brought you the anatomy of the balloon animal and gummi bear, has gone da Vinci on the minifig. Hmm, I wonder how many minifig cadavers he went through for this study…

LEGO Aircraft Carrier Is Bigger Than Your Mom
Monday, September 22nd, 2008…AND your Dad.
It’s a 200,000-brick, 350-pound aircraft carrier — the Harry S Truman — complete with electrical lights as well as moving elevators and radar dishes.
As all of us geekdads can appreciate, building this model was not without difficulties on the homefront. Hawking, a German father of two and (at least before this masterwork) neophyte [...]
LEGO Mac Pro
Sunday, September 21st, 2008That’s no ordinary stack of bricks. The LEGO Mac Pro is actually a PC running Mac OS X and a Mac Mini, all living together under the same LEGO roof. The LEGO count totals in at 2,588 bricks for this blocky mod which was designed in Lego Digital Designer 2.0 for the MacMod Challenge 2008. [...]
The Simpsons Opening Legofied
Tuesday, September 9th, 2008YouTuber bulc86 is the mastermind/laborer behind this arduous film which recreates the Simpsons intro in LEGO form. According to the info section on Youtube, it took him 2 days to shoot and edit. All his hard work paid off when he won $40.00 in a movie making contest and a slot for it on Estonian [...]
LEGO Boba Fette Costume
Wednesday, August 27th, 2008So I’ve been talking a big talk for some years now about getting together a Boba Fett costume. Fact is, I do not have the funds to complete one since I consider things like “eating” as a priority when it comes to budgeting. Maybe I’ll try building one out of LEGOs like this one spotted [...]
LEGO Backpack
Tuesday, August 26th, 2008Here’s the perfect backpack for any little tyke going back to school. It’s reminscent of a backpack that I had when I was in, let’s see…second grade. That one was basically a big block with a picture of Minnie and Mickey on it. Only thing that bag lacked were any feasible pockets apart from the [...]
LEGO + Star Wars = The Best Olympics Ever
Sunday, August 24th, 2008While the Beijing Olympics definitely had some LEGO going for them with that huge bricked out model of the Olympic village, it was still lacking hard. Lacking what you say? Star Wars. That’s what. But have no fear, flick-er 713 Avenue made sure to mash up all three for one fantastic album! Check it as [...]
LEGOfied 2008 Olympics
Friday, August 15th, 2008Just in case you ever doubted that LEGO totally rules, here’s just more evidence to my case that they totally do. This stunning LEGO model of the 2008 Beijing Olympics village was on display in Hong Kong to get everybody pumped for the summer games. Totaling in 300,000 bricks and 4,500 figures, this creation definitely [...]
LEGO Donkey Kong
Sunday, August 10th, 2008Yay! More Donkey Kong!!
So while the original Jenga was pretty cool and then the Donkey Kong Jenga was even cooler, there is no doubt that LEGO Donkey Kong wins, hands down. Built by Dan Kressin, this homage to both Donkey Kong AND LEGO not only looks sweet, but also moves. We’re talking barrel hurtling galore [...]
Radiohead LEGO-ized
Wednesday, August 6th, 2008Radiohead’s new video for “House of Cards” took a new approach using lasers to capture data to be presented visually instead of just using a camera. The results were interesting, unqiue and quite fitting for the band. And because Radiohead loves everyone so much (hell, they gave me their album for free), they released this [...]
LEGO-fied Album Covers
Monday, July 28th, 2008The Toy Zone has posted a collection of “20 Album Covers Recreated In LEGO”. Needless to say, all 20 are pretty damn awesome. Everything from the Beatles to the Boss, these LEGO-fied covers will invoke an undeniable giggle fit. Here’s a few of my favorites.
Check out the rest at the Toy Zone, plus links to [...]
LEGO Sushi
Thursday, July 24th, 2008Now why I’d make a sushi related post before lunch is beyond me, but alas, here I am, drooling at fake sushi that should most definitely not be ingested, yet again. Flickr-er Big Daddy Nelson seems to have a pretty strong grasp of how to bring out the fullest capacity of awesome from his LEGOs [...]
