I left a comment on one of Tim Zarki‘s pictures saying that I can’t blog everything he builds. Well, it’s true — though unfortunate, because all of his recent creations have been fantastic, including this post-apocalyptic tank/tractor.
Great submission, Jamie Neufeld! (Can you tell I’m catching up?)
It’s been a while since we’ve seen a new ship in the 3vil faction. The latest is from Dillon:
The skull — a requisite part of any 3vil ship — is particularly well-executed, with a great cannon sticking out of the right eye.
Nathan Proudlove has been playing World of WarCraft, as evidenced by his Tauren warrior.
Speaking of cool videos, Peter Edwards has some really interesting creations on his Web site, including many that are motorized in some way.
Here’s Peter’s very fast LEGO slot cars are built around AFX motors:
My favorite, though, is the video of an ingenious set of “dodgem” cars:
Be sure to check out Peter’s Web site for lots more, including higher-resolution versions of these and other great videos.
Joystiq has broken the news that the rumored LEGO Indiana Jones video game has been confirmed. Watch the trailer right here on The Brothers Brick:
Thanks to reader David for the tip! (And check out the Official Web site.)
Yesterday was the second birthday of this blog, but I was too busy reading the adventures of a certain young wizard to post anything. ;-)
Let the long-winded and self-satisfied post begin! (Read last year’s anniversary post here or with original comments on the old blog.)
The big changes to this blog since last year:
Here are some possibly interesting statistics about all of you, our faithful readers:
Finally, taking my queue from Technorati founder David Sifry‘s “State of the Blogosphere” posts, here’s a quick summary of how things have changed in the LEGO blog world since last year:
Noddy has improved on his earlier motorbikes (similar to Michael Jasper‘s), this time with ones that can seat a minifig:
Who says the barren landscape of the world after some sort of cataclysmic event won’t be full of interesting characters? Certainly not Legohaulic:
Unfortunately, Adrian Florea hasn’t included pictures of how his M3 Halftrack transforms into the Decepticon, but the before and after photos are certainly cool.
UPDATE: Adrian has posted a shot of Shellshock transforming. Way cool:
Update via Klocki.
Seach for “Optimus Prime” on just about any LEGO site and you’ll get about 1.6 million hits. Of course, most don’t actually transform, and if they do, it’s much easier to build a transforming Optimus Prime at a fairly large scale. astronut1 has created a transforming Optimus Prime in the 4-wide scale of classic Town sets:
I won’t spoil the surprise, so be sure to check out all of astronut1’s Optimus Prime photos.
