    More mock-ups should be done like this. Renders are all well and good but there is no substitute for good old-fashioned physical models.


    Also, this is why we still need shop class.

    @OMG! Ponies!: Agreed. You just can't get all of the feel of the design just looking at a CGI rendering. In studio we did lots of models for vehicles and the sort that we had to craft ourselves. While I would've enjoyed doing 3D modeling, having your idea exist physically is far more satisfying.

    Wow... too much free time or what.


    Not to mention a kind of creepy attachment to a commercial product.


    Kind of one step before tattooing an Apple logo on your arm.


    Because.. you know... only Zune freaks do that...


    Oh.. wait...

    @TheWerewolf: Art projects are often very time consuming, and if an artist has lots of free time, what better way to spend that time than on more art projects.


    Art is hard, criticism is easy.

    I get it! These are war robots for the Middle East. The first two didn't get the reaction they wanted, so they made one with a exposed female face that looked happy to scare the ba-jebus out of them! But I wonder why it isn't wearing it's bacon armor....

    Most of the fun from lego comes from designing and building your own stuff IMO. I used to always destroy the normal model after enjoying it for a few hours. God why did I have to donate all my legos to a 4-year-old deaf autistic boy who loves legos.

    @TheCrudMan: Agreed. Not long after purchasing an X-Wing fighter, I started disassembling it to do what I will with the parts. It's just too tempting, because a lot of the parts in these SW sets can't be purchased individually from their Pick-A-Brick bin. Besides...what's the point of LEGO if you just display it the whole time?

    A lot of you may already know this, but you can built Lego stuff in software and have Logo ship you the pieces to build them in the real world. You can order up loose blocks by the piece directly from Denmark.


    I didn't know Lego did this, but that is some customer service, considering a piece like a mug is only $.08 per.


    Just more reasons to love Lego.

    ONE. Grab that box off the shelf.
    TWO. Find the bar code on that box.
    THREE. Scan the code on that box.


    ... it's a DIGITAL BOX!

    Well seeing how quick it took some people in the UK to take the washed up items from the boat that capsized near the shores a while back. I wouldn't be surprised to know the Lego man has already been took.

    @Emiat: Yeah I saw some footage a few years ago of some very lucky Brits walking along the beach with BRAND NEW BMW motorcycles (among other things) that washed up on the beach (washed up in their transport crates)...


    That shit was bananas!
