Variety recently reported that Warner Brothers has brokered a deal with LEGO. They are making a movie. Did you see this coming? I sure didn’t.
Here’s what Variety has to say:
WB is toying with plans to develop a movie around Lego and its popular building blocks.
Scribes Dan and Kevin Hageman are [...]
A common criticism of ApocaLEGO creations is that they’re all shades of brown or gray — believable colors for many apocalyptic scenarios, but not necessarily for the zombie apocalypse.
With that in mind, I’ve added a few more colorful creations to my fleet of zombie-hunting vehicles.
The big red vehicle is an apocafied version of my S&S/TATRA [...]
LEGO Harry Potter creations are few and far between, which makes this excellent interpretation of the Weasley residence by Matti (Matn) that much more wonderful.
The ramshackle upper stories look tacked on to the original muggle house, just as described in the books by J.K. Rowling. (Movies? What movies?)
It’s no surprise that there’s lots of video game news this week. The industry expo, E3, is happening June 2 through 4 in Los Angeles, California. Today’s big news is the announcement by Warner Bros. and TT Games of LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4.
No details on platforms or a more specific release date than [...]
Personally, I’m a bit tired of the BSG Viper fad, but I had to make an exception here. V&A Steamworks cruises in with a Steampunk Viper and its full of nifty win. Check out those Duplo Pirate Pistols, Bionicle pieces and Harry Potter pieces! This thing is loaded with stuff that should [...]
Update: Zombie Apocafest 2008 went off smashingly at BrickCon 2008, October 2-5. Don’t miss our full coverage here on The Brothers Brick:
The pre-registration price for BrickCon 2008 goes up from $40 to $50 next Tuesday, August 5th. If you’re still thinking about joining Nannan, Josh, Keith, me, and lots of other Brothers Brick readers in [...]
Dave and Stacy Sterling are a pair of LEGO fans whose love for LEGO is only surpassed by their love for each other. With a Train layout that’s 12-feet by 15-feet, they prove the old adage that the couple who bricks together stays together.
Stacy’s latest creation is a LEGO version of her favorite burger joint, [...]
It’s rather rare that we feature a LEGO Harry Potter creation, but Garth Danielson helps us end that drought with his great “Gryffindor Fire”:
Garth uses a cool bent wall technique to evoke the tower, with a detailed fireplace and furniture.
Flickrite badboytje88 has a rather impressive collection of official Harry Potter minifigs and ones he’s made himself:
Check out the full photoset on Flickr, with about 80 minifigs.
Millionaire Playboy has wonderfully detailed pictures of the new 5378 Hogwarts Castle set. Head on over there for the video podcast, but here are the highlights for me — the minifigs!
Dolores Umbridge and Hermione Granger both sport new hair:
The weirdest, coolest LEGO head ever on a mystery character (another Deatheater?), and a new Draco Malfoy:
[...]
I like Flickr user Arpy 2.0’s sense of humor. Here’s his “House-Elf Liberation Front soldier” carrying the regimental emblem into battle:
Go, Dobby, go!

Well, I promised more mecha, so here’s a totally sweet ninja power suit from DB and PPB regular Izzo:
And just for fun, Harry Potter’s Quidditch power suit!

I’ve been waiting for Moko to post this on Brickshelf, but it’s too cool to wait any more:
Nice use of the new Viking horns, helmet, and axe heads, as well as the Harry Potter Deatheater face and black wings.
LEGO recently announced a new theme to be released in January 2006. The official Exo-Force Web site on LEGO.com lists the products, and includes an online comic.
It is important to remember that this is not a licensed theme like Star Wars or Harry Potter. This theme was developed by LEGO on their own. However, the [...]
For those of you just tuning in, BrickLink is a site where you can buy LEGO from thousands of people worldwide. What’s cool is that you can buy individual pieces as well as sets. For me, it’s a great way to get minifigs from sets I’ve missed or don’t plan on buying. I’ve recently ordered [...]
Each minifigure you get in a LEGO set usually consists of six components:
A head
One torso part
Two arms
Two hands
Two legs
One hip part
Arms, hands, and the torso always ship as one piece, as do the leg and hip parts. LEGO usually also includes headgear of some sort — a hat, helmet, hair, bandanna — something to cover [...]
