Yeah that's pretty surreal, can't honestly imagine anyone giving a shit.

This though: http://m.io9.com/5966902/serenity-lego-set-is-now-a-reality

I kind of think the opposite - it'd be a stick-on for a video game, and the actual lego falls back out of that.

Sure, why not.

I like the deliberate stop-motion look to the animation.

Free mini kits in the fucking Daily Mail every day this week starting today. If you can bring yourself to do that.

That actually doesn't look too bad. I'm surprised.

lego ent!

Demo for the new Lego Marvel Superheroes game is out.

Culture Show: Lego - The Building Block of Architecture

The Lego Movie (released 14 February) is the latest big-budget incarnation of one of the world's most popular toys. Yet Lego is more than a global brand. Tom Dyckhoff explores its fascinating relationship with architecture, and argues that it has changed the way we think about buildings.

(tonight at 22:00 bbc2)

They're coming out with an Arctic line. Now you too can re-enact John Carpenter's The Thing only with minifigs.

Lego huskies and polar bear look cool, tho.

That prog was ok, apart from Alain de whatever talking about how most toys are about destruction. No they are not.

Anyone watching the awful looking movie?

most toys are about abstraction

Anyone watching the awful looking movie?

actually, yeah, and we quite enjoyed it

THE LEGO MOVIE

FYI: the Lego Marvel Superheroes game is $10 downloadable on Amazon right now. GET THIS.

They upped the price on minifigs; now $4 per, for this series at least.

the lego movie minifigs were £2.50, up from £2 (olympics were £2.50 also). i didn't bother with either. might pick up these though.

We never got the Olympics ones over here. The movie figs stayed the same price.

actually, thinking about it, they were Team GB minifigs.

Duder, if you get the chance, pick up the new Lego Batman game.

I am on a big Lego tip at the moment.

The local Lego convention happened today, so I took the good camera and snapped photos

I'm imagining people building stuff so that it appears like Jareth's face in Labyrinth.

"WE GOT ONE!"

http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Firehouse-Headquarters-75827

Bought myself the Lego Millennium Falcon over Xmas. It is perhaps the best thing I own. I have ordered some more specific parts from the Lego website to make it EVEN BETTER.

Coming in May:

Interesting design contrast with the human characters' eyes. Minifig black dots vs Disney large pupil.

I think maybe yoda/jarjar were the ones that started this, but custom moulded heads for minifigs feel like a big design failure to me. At that point you're just making generic little action figures, it's only the claw hands that make them look anything like lego, and so selling them as minifigs starts to feel like a con.

(Actually I guess it was probably fabuland's fault, way before lego star wars was a thing).

I wish Fabuland was still a thing, my daughter would love it
