New Lego Marvel Minifigs Include Wolverine, Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America and Thor

My younger years were all about Lego, comic books, NASA, Cousteau and girls. That’s why I can’t imagine anything better than these Lego Marvel minifigs. Except seeing Ursula Andrews playing with them in her biking while she floats inside the ISS. https://jezebel.com/the-real-origin-of-the-bikini-wasnt-a-nuclear-explosion-5803930 [Model Gal via Brothers Brick]

Lego-Crusted Pioneer Turntable Combines Two of Your Most Favorite Playthings

Consider this the peanut butter and marshmallow of good looking gadgets: a Pioneer CDJ-2000 buried under a shell of wonderfully constructed Lego kookiness. I wouldn’t want to drop it, but damnit if it doesn’t look exceedingly fun. The deck, constructed by artist Jesse Graves to benefit VH1’s Save the Music Foundation, is fully functional. It…

Mr. Spock, depicted in 13,824 LEGOs

LEGO artist Rakanishu placed over 10,000 one-by-one LEGO plates to a 96-by-144 board for this portrait of Leonard Nimoy wearing his famous earpieces. It was an anniversary gift for his wife. Such manic work ethic could overpower a salt vampire. [Rakanishu’s Flickr via Brothers Brick]

The Most Brilliant Way to Never Lose Your Keys (With Lego!)

I probably lose track of my keys at least a couple of times a day, which is both pathetic and infuriating to anyone I’m with. It’s awful! But this Lego mastermind cooked up a simple, fantastic solution. You see, you just stick your keys to the Lego plate on your wall whenever you walk inside.…

Black Lego PC Mod Has Loftier Tasks Than Just Playing Doom

Be gone with your primary colored Lego PC mods! Mike Schropp’s folding Lego PC would have a touch of the dark side to it, if it weren’t for the fact he’s using it for his medical research. Taking 2,000 black bricks to build, Schropp outfitted it with three quad-core Sandy Bridge 2600k processors, Thermaltake Frio…

50 Designs Created From 58 Lego Pieces

Tyler Neylon is like any other lego junkie – he looks beyond the directions in a kit and uses the bricks in front of him to make his own designs. In Neylon’s case, he took a small 58-brick Creator set and created an impressive 50 designs. The creations range from animals like an elephant to…

I’m glad Lego genius Alex Schranz has made this 9,000-brick Lego model—which includes multiple levels, a Batmobile, security systems, elevator and everything else—of the actual Batcave I’m planning to build with 9 billion Lego bricks. Thanks Alex! [Flickr]

LEGO Mordor cannot be reached with plastic eagles

It took 50,000 interlocking bricks, but sculptor Kevin J. Walter was able to recreate Sauron’s fortress of Barad-dûr out of LEGOs, presumably to keep out some wee DUPLO Hobbits. You can see more photos at Kevin’s Flickr page. [Via Nerdcore]

And the Best Nerdabolous Joke Ever Award Goes to… Switch Real Car for Life-Sized Lego Car!

Legoland California’s General Manager Peter Ronchetti has a Volvo XC60. At least until a couple days ago someone decided to use a lift fork to switch it to a life-sized, 2,934-pound Lego XC90 made of 201,076 bricks. I wish I had the money to pull this kind of jokes. I would replace the Fifth Avenue…

The largest LEGO Technic ever is a Unimog

The European truck most noted for its complete badassedness is the Mercedes-Benz Unimog — a vehicle so large the company determined Americans would find it offensively huge. Now LEGO is celebrating the 60th anniversary of the truck by building a scale 2,000+ piece version that’s the largest Technic set ever sold. The Unimog is used…

Use your LEGO helmet to listen to comic books

In case LEGOs aren’t cool enough for you on their own, how about if we throw a gold-visor space helmet, USB drive, and some comic books into the mix? That’s the ingenious thinking behind Jonathan Robson‘s concept design for the LEGO Audio Comic. By inserting the LEGO-brick USB into a slot in the helmet, the…
