Yankee Stadium Gets a Glorious Lego Send-Off

For die-hard Yankee's fans like myself, this has definitely been a year to forget. I think everyone would agree that the season itself was a total disaster, and I'm sure that there are a lot of people that are sad to see the old stadium go. Lego artist Sean Kenney is one of those people, which is why he and a Manhattan grade schooler spent three years building a 60" x 66" x 14" replica (1:150 scale) using 45,700 bricks. As you can see, the result of their efforts so far is impressive. When completed, the stadium will be populated with tons of miniature spectators and vendors. A full gallery is available after the break. More »

Question of the Day: Do You Say "Lego" or "Legos?"

We desperately need you to settle an ongoing debate for us. When you refer to everyone's favorite plastic brick building blocks in the plural form, do you say "Lego" or "Legos?" Lego is technically the correct term—but it sounds weird. I mean "I would like a box of Lego for Christmas" vs. "I would like a box of Legos for Christmas." Words used in the English language that are the same in both the singular and plural form are always awkward—but dammit, this one is important. So we must ask: do you say "Lego" or "Legos?" More »

Question of the Day: Do You Still Play With Toys?

After diving into the disastrous effects having a toy collection can have on the love life of a grown man, I feel compelled to ask: are you an adult that still plays with toys? And, just to be clear, when I say "toys" I am referring to products normally reserved for children—like action figures and legos. If you do, make sure to list your favorites in the comments. More »

The Stackable, Smackable Lego Desktop Calendar

Ok, it may not be an officially licensed product, but the term Lego-esque certainly applies to this desktop calendar. In true Lego style, the sections can be stacked and configured into any pattern you choose—and changing the date is as simple as smacking the top of each brick. And we all know that relieving some stress by smacking something at the office can be good thing...except when it is a face and/or ass. Available for around $27 US.

Lego Iron Man Must Be Seen to Be Believed

A masterful Lego builder that goes by the name of Arvo is the man responsible for this unbelievably awesome Iron Man figure. And with results like that, the dude doesn't even need a last name. Just whispering "Arvo" will get grab the attention of geeks the world over. Damn I wish there were more pictures. Apparently Arvo likes to slowly add them to increase the suspense.

Lego Master Working on 100,000 Piece, 21-Foot Battleship Yamato Model

Japanese Lego builder Jun Brick (think that's his real name?) has been hard at work at a 1:40 model of the famous Battleship Yamato for over a year. This gargantuan model puts the Millennium Falcon to shame, stretching out for over 20 feet and using a whopping 100,000 pieces. He posts a metric ton of photos on his site as he works on it, giving us a really cool look at each step of the process and just how much work goes into building a model of this size. Impressive, to say the least. More »
