Another farking slideshow.

Of course.

I don't know why I thought it wouldn't be.

FTFA: Each contains as many as 35,000 bricks - all individually glued together - and some have sold for £19,000.

Cheat!!

Lego bricks are pretty awesome, aren't they?

Holy Crap: Another farking slideshow.

Of course.

I don't know why I thought it wouldn't be.

For three pictures.

ok the grey vajayjay peek looking thing is kinda cool

I think I've seen this guy before- he's been around for a while.

Here's a link to an article that has more impressive pictures of his, plus it isn't a slideshow...

More time than me? Inconceivable!

I believe the appropriate plural of LEGO is Legii (pronounced leg - eye).

lleeeeggg eeyyyyeee.....it just rolls off the tongue, don't it?

I don't mind this guy popping up every 6-12 months or so, but it'd be nice if the showcase would be NEW ones, not just the same undeniably cool but now somewhat stale works of LEGO art.

Well he's a professional artist whose sold work for 19000 pounds, so I doubt you can call it "free time".

yeah.... I can glue legos together, too......

It comes from the elvish word "Legolas", named after the creator of the Legos.

still disappointed about this (new window)

I'm not ashamed to say that as a grown man, I own Lego, and have seriously considered buying a vintage "Galaxy Explorer" kit on eBay (alas, common sense prevailed).

Hopefully, when I have kids they'll appreciate this fantastic toy, and not just crave whatever crappy electronic distraction the age presents.

Oooh, I have the Galaxy Explorer back home. In fact, I think it's still intact. I was really into Space Lego. I (or a brother?) had the Galaxy Commander (new window) too, which was really cool. It divided up into three sections.

To be wholly technical, the name LEGO comes from the Danish words "leg godt" (play well). The guy who invented them (a Dane - forget his name off hand), combined the words into LEGO, which has turned out to be a very apt name for one of the best toys ever. Whether there truly is a proper plural for LEGO other than just LEGOs, I have no idea. :)

/I'd put a snappy slashie comment here if I could think of one.

cornreaper: News Item (Stockholm, Sweden): This just in... The inventors of LEGO

http://Shhhhh.......Denmark/

I suspect Stockholm was chosen because Sweden is where all but one of the Nobel Prizes are given out. Of course, being a pun on the peace prize, the only one not given out in Sweden, perhaps Oslo would have been more appropriate, since that is where that particular Nobel Prize is given out.

I had the Galaxy Commander too. It rocked. I sat down about a year ago and was still able to build it from memory. I was so proud.

Never managed to get the Galaxy Explorer though. I wanted it SO much.

Here's a documentary about Adult Fans of Lego.

Building it from memory is pretty impressive. I seem to remember it being quite complicated to build.

I wonder if this is the guy the Mythbusters got Lego bricks from when they made their giant ball of Lego?

Wow...it's life in 8-bit.

This one is titled

"Me and your MoM"

"Here's Klaus, a controversial new Lego artist"

"What makes him controversial?"

"He works with Tente."

Meh, give me any of the artists displayed onThe Brothers-Brick (new window, at least their stuff you can *play* with. Hell, some of it is downright swooshy.

Almost as, um, "inspiring" as his masterpiece from last year, Tilted "gootse: shiatting a (Lego) Brick".

It's a slide (click to see next word)

Think about the cost of all of those bricks. Sheesh!

If memory serves, this was the only set at the time that included those cool blue cockpit windows. Plus, it came with a ton of space dudes.

Dude needs to branch out from the face thing, I believe he has that nailed..

Cool, I get a chance to post a picture from last night's project! I was clicking around the Web and found an 8-bit Mario made out of toast Link (new window) which I used to create this-



By the time I worked my way to the feet I was tearing my house apart looking for more red blocks... what a night!

The LEGO brand name should always be written in capital letters

LEGO must never be used as a generic term or in the plural or as a possessive pronoun, e.g. â€Å"LEGO’s�.

When the LEGO brand name is used as part of a noun, it must never
appear on its own. It should always be accompanied by a noun. For example, LEGO set, LEGO products, LEGO Group, LEGO play materials, LEGO bricks, LEGO universe, etc.

According to lego's company profile (new window)

IamCeilingCat: More time than me? Inconceivable!

I would prefer you not call me out in threads like that when not followed by a question you want me to curtly answer.

Just the height of rudeness.

IamCeilingCat: More time than me? Inconceivable!

Offhand, anyone know if LEGO offers bulk blocks anymore?

Could check their site, but too busy not doing that.

i collect toys and have a pretty huge lego collection, and i browse online lego sites and toy sites for inspiration and such. having said that, i'm really not that impressed by this guy.

i mean sure, his creations look neat, but he's only using plain bricks of the same color. honestly, any one of us could make those exact kind of sculptures if we had enough bricks. give me a hundred thousand red bricks and i'll make lifesize lego people too, it isn't that hard.

the real creative lego people find new uses for existing bricks, and their creations are ten times more imaginative. the most amazing creations are the small ones, where someone only uses fifteen lego pieces to make a miniature city or something, or uses lego pieces to create a sculpture that looks like smoke or water splashing, or something like that, where lego is hardly the best medium.

i wish i could give links to some websites, but i don't really have any i can think of. seriously, just search online for original lego designs and you'll find stuff way more impressive than what this guy makes.
