I wonder if the Terminator would have been as scary if he had been made out of Legos. Well, this robotic arm is still pretty creepy, despite being made out of brightly-colored plastic bricks.

Kenney holds the distinction of being a certified full-time Lego professional artist whose work has been featured in The New York Times and on BBC News. He was commissioned to do a sculpture of the Yankee Stadium, as well as the New York Stock Exchange building. At last count, Kenney owns over 1.5 million LEGO pieces.

The hangar in the Death Star was one of my favorite design elements in Star Wars, so I’m really stoked someone paid homage to it in the form of a LEGO replica.

Danish sci-fi nerd Niels Bugge builds incredible, unique spaceships out of LEGOs. He’s not a mere fanboy, many of his creations are completely his own design.

In the long, storied history of marketing, product promotion, and brand reinvention, has there been a better case study than LEGO? I mean, really. This ubiqitious childhood staple has somehow bene re-pitched as an essential Gen Y toy, and a favourite of animators everywhere. This video by Studio Shelter is one of the best LEGO [...]
