Generally speaking I don't blog LEGO Ideas stuff, but I do make a rare exception. I'm going to do it this time in memory of the thousands of quarters I dropped into classic arcade machines (hey, I was a kid of the 80's) These Sega classic arcade machines by mista_carrot are so clever and fun I just had to share. You know what would make them even cooler? A sound brick (hint hint LEGO)
When we walked out of the theater as kids after seeing Star Wars, every one of us had a new wish list. Some wanted a lightsaber, some wanted Stormtooper armor, we all wanted Princess Leia as a girlfriend. This was on my new list, Luke's Landspeeder. This version by fresh-out-of-his-dark-ages Aaron Fiskum is a beauty, measuring in at over 22 inches long, it has proper UCS scale and detail. And it can be a reality with your support.
Join BrickNerd Nerd-In-Chief Tommy Williamson and Mrs BrickNerd as they build the latest LEGO Ideas set, Birds
Guaranteed 10% more exciting than watching grass grow.
Build starts at 9am PST, Join us!
Yes, it's been a little while since we've done a LiveBuild, hectic schedules is my only excuse. But we have the latest LEGO Ideas set in possession and we're dying to build it and share with you. Join me and Mrs. BrickNerd tomorrow at 9am PST while we build some birds!
Being a kid of the eighties, I lost (invested?) a considerable amount of coin in these wonderful time wasters, but I don't regret it. The golden age of the video arcade is over, but like it, big hair, gloves on one hand a parachute pants, I got to experience it first hand. I lived it. You can try to recreate the experience by backing this project on LEGO Ideas. Thanks for a bit of nostalgia msx_80.
Join me with my special guests David Pagano and James Morr as we build LEGO 21110 Research Institute as well as LEGO Star Wars 75041 Vulture Droid. And as if that wasn't enough action, immediately following the build I will be doing a live ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. Our good friend Josh at The Brothers Brick as called me out, and I will rise to the challenge. Building starts today at noon PST, with the dowsing happening around 2pm. Join us!
I know it's a showing a bit of favoritism, but I love this MOC and I'm really hoping it goes to the next level. Angus MacLane's WALL•E has just passed the 10,000 mark, qualifying it for official review by LEGO. If all goes well we can all have an adorable little robot of our own, best of luck Angus!
Featuring two LEGO Ideas sets, The Exo Suit and Ghostbusters Ecto-1.
Director, builder and all around awesome guy Angus MacLane has further refined his already amazing WALL•E and the results speak for themselves. The best news is you don't just have to gawk at pictures of this MOC, with your support, there's a chance you could have one of your very own. Less than 2500 votes needed, it's getting so close!
Exo Suit designer Peter Reid has posted a fantastic side-by-side of his design vs the final product from LEGO and LEGO designer Mark Stafford. Clearly scale is a major deviation, as well as ankle joints and some of the larger body components like the barrels in the forearms. But as you can see it's faithful to the spirit, and fantastically designed. I prefer Pete's compactness and more mechanical look, but I sorta like LEGO's take on contrast. I prefer Pete's more exposed cockpit as well, but Mark's makes great use of the new handlebars. We'll have a LiveBuild and full review soon enough, in the mean time just stare at this and droooooool.
What better way to unveil the Exo Suit than with a marvelous animation by long time Pete Reid collaborator Chris Salt? If you weren't excited before, this should do the trick.
LEGO Ideas designer Peter Reid is teasing us, but I'm OK with it. Mainly because I know we're so very close to finally getting our hands on his mechanical bipedal beauty the Exo Suit. I had the honor of holding the original in my hands and I can't wait to play with it's brethren.
Raise your hands if you love the food truck! There's a taco truck in town we visit at least every other week, awesome food. And I've spent whole segments of my life living off one (not to be confused with film set catering, my loathing for movie food is infamous). So this excellent little LEGO Ideas project caught my eye. All the details are perfect, I just wish LEGO made a taco element.
Hey Brick Fans. If it feels like I'm a bit out of touch this weekend, it's because I am. I'm setting sail on the Disney Wonder and I won't have internet, cell phone, smoke signals or semaphore (well, maybe semaphore, but I won't understand it). Speaking of the Wonder, check out this awesome MOC by Shawn Steele. It's now on LEGO Ideas and needs your support. It would make a very cool, very large set.
