Lego Zombie Apocalypse

Wednesday, November 17th, 2010

As if our zombie obsession wasn’t dangerous enough, a clever person has managed to make a zombie apocalypse set out of our favourite toy, Lego. Unsurprisingly, this leaves not knowing which way to turn – surely a union of such aceness hasn’t been seen since that bit in Alien Vs. Predator when Predator swings Alien around by the tail?! We digress. Here are some pictures of the impending blockular bloodbath:

As you can see, should all our Lego men suddenly be killed and reborn as plastic-eating ghouls with limited speech capabilities, all we need to do is whip some of these sets up and we’ll deal with the threat before you can say “remove the head or destroy the brain”.

Via Geekologie, and ApocaLEGO. Who is, frankly, a genius.

Unbelievable Star Wars Lego Fight

Friday, March 5th, 2010

Lego = great.

Star Wars = great.

Lego X Star Wars = great squared.

I’m no mathematician, but that’s a fact. With that in mind, why not geek out for a Friday afternoon and marvel at this incredible Lego animation?

Say Goodbye To James May's Lego House

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

Folks, today is a sad day for fans of interlocking bricks. What seemed like such a beautiful idea, James May’s Lego House (which we blogged about here), has been deemed unsustainable by the purse string-holders, and has been demolished. Apparently it would have cost around £50,000 to dismantle and move the whole thing.

Just think of the man hours involved in constructing such a noble and proud building. As a child, I could often be found trying to build something without the use of instructions, but chickening out as soon as my needs outweighed my talent – this Lego House project was the perfect example of someone finishing off what so many of us would like to have started.

The pictures below make for harrowing viewing, and are not for the faint-hearted:

Shame.

Disaster.

My best Lego moment: arriving back from holiday to find that my older brother had built an entire Lego space station from scratch that went around the majority of my bedroom.

My worst Lego moment: being about four years old and getting lost in Legoland, Denmark, after following a man who I thought was my Dad (he was wearing the same colour jumper, I clearly thought that was enough to identify him).

Thanks to Geeky Gadgets for getting there first.

Brick to the Future

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

As a lego fanatic and part of the 80s generation, this remote controlled deLorean is on my list of must-haves. Unfortunately it’s not available from lego as it’s a design by the Legohaulic… hopefully pland will appear sometime soon.
