I don’t know what possessed LEGO to create a short film that features a guy stealing building bricks, as the results are both awe inspiring and terribly uncomfortable.

Is there nothing LEGO can’t do?  I can build a small world for my son to play with, or a robot, that someday will rise up and kill me in my sleep.  LEGO can be used for so many things, including recreating the Antikythera Mechanism that perplexed people for a number of years.

With the plethora of toy based movies taking H’wood by storm, it only makes sense for the best toy in the universe to make a big screen debut. Warner Bros. has hired Phil Lord and Chris MIller, the duo behind “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs”, to write and direct the LEGO flick. Since the script is yet to be written the only word on plot that has leaked is the film will mix live action and animation, which sounds an awful lot like what the Smurfs movie is currently doing. via THR

At the same time, we strove for the unprecedented by incorporating lights, motion, and even music (through built-in iPod speakers) on top of…

I love these stop motion LEGO movies, especially when they are so well done.  Click the play button and prepare to pick your jaw up off the floor. I made this as part of an animation challenge on bricksinmotion.com. The goal was to make the coolest lightsaber duel possible. The lightsaber and blaster effects were done in Photoshop.

Anyone who’s been to LEGOLand knows that there are some great LEGO creations out there.  For Star Wars fans, this near life sized interpretation of Han Solo frozen in carbonite by Nathan Sawaya, takes the cake. Wanting do a Star Wars model, and also wanting to do something never been done before (to my knowledge), I decided to make Han Solo frozen in carbonite. Life size. It took about 10,000 bricks, almost all dark gray, and about three months of on and off building. I built the sculpture so it can break down easily into smaller parts, thus making it…

What’s the new LEGO themed toy set to replace the Bionicle line?  It’s the Hero Factory… It is with great pleasure that the LEGO Group welcomes you to the Hero Factory! This is the place where real heroes are made. The heroes are designed, equipped  and built depending on specific missions that beam in from across the galaxy and  across time. The heroes are then sent out in their hero pods ready to defeat  evil and solve their mission. The missions are many and very different. The line launches in August 2010.
