Pure awesomeness

Forget Disneyland, next time any of you go to Southern California, you should take the kids to LegoLand instead. It's about an hour south of Disneyland, about 30 mins north of San Diego.

Click on this link and check out the cool galleries of Star Wars Lego-designs that are on exhibit.

Occupy Lego Land

I suppose this was inevitable.

Anyone out there been to an Occupy-related protest? Is there one going on in Hawaii?

I am shameless! Come see my junk!

LEGO Brick Made of Ground Turkey

I made this.

Star Wars vs. Lego Awesomeness

I wish I could live in a world where everything was made out of Lego.

No idea how we missed these, as a group. I love stop motion that uses people. Also dream logic. Also things within things.

Custom Lego sets!

Hey, I apologise if this has been posted before, but are you guys aware of this? If not, I may have significantly increased my lego-cred on the blog for the first time ever!

A designer at my job is using it to make his christmas presents...

Great? Horrible? You decide.

I honestly don't know what to think about this, but it involves both lego and Star Wars, so it seems like it should be right up piecesofthings' alley.

Logan's Run Re-Created in Lego

By Don Quixote 2x4

Seeing this from multiple sources, and it needs to go up here. The model is impressive, of course, but I think the photography is really great, too. Wondering if Galspanic, our resident badass LEGO builder and photographer has anything to say on this subject.

PLEASE MASTURBATE THE LEGO ROBOT

I apologize for this. Also, I don't apologize for this.



Thank you.

This has got to be the coolest working Lego gun ever made.

And while on the Lego topic I wanted to share a picture of a vehicle my 5 year old daughter made the other day while I was outside on my lanai working on a project / neglecting her. When I came in she was pushing her critters around in the vehicle while they were exploring planet "Yabba". It was great and packed with lots of dialog between the two explorers. She also made a rocket that she manage to seal a baby critter into as well... Its always good to see the Lego gene being passed on ;)

What I Eat Most

It's a bit crunchy, and doesn't have quite the dietary benefits of the real thing, but on the plus side I'm angling for a future Guinness record (I haven't decided whether to go for the plain and simple man-eats-17-tons-of-plastic approach or perhaps the gross factor of longest-intestinal-surgical-procedure or such) AND is guaranteed to satisfy the curiosities of most readers of this blog.

LEGO Pop-up Kinkaku-ji

Even at the risk of making this blog all about LEGO, I couldn't not post this lovely, transcendent thing. The original building, Kinkaku-Ji (Temple of the Golden Pavilion), is here.
