The Brothers Brick

Two 17-year-olds from Toronto made a balloon to fly a minifig and camera 24 kilometers into the air. Check out the news article for photos and a video of this amazing feat. Via Toys N Bricks

Ever since the announcement of LEGO Lord of the Rings and Hobbits sets in December, LEGO has been teasing us with posters of the minifigs. Aragorn wields Anduril in his promo shot. Legolas looks like he has a new Elvish hairpiece.

Series 6 Collectible Minifigures are beginning to show up in various retail stores and in significant quantities. I picked up a sealed case yesterday and the breakdown was as follows: 4x Alien 5x Highlander 3x Pajama Boy 3x Statue of Liberty 5x Bandit 4x Flamenco Dancer 3x Robot 5x Minotaur 4x Leprechaun 3x Roman 3x Continue reading →

If you’ve wondered what the Friends mini-dolls look like with other LEGO headgear, then L D M has what you’re looking for:

LEGO has released this hilarious video introducing all the new minifigs in the sixth Series of Collectible Minifigs, set up as a parody of some well-known American TV shows. I enjoyed it, and I think you will too.

Have a fantastic holiday! I hope your costumes are awesome, you gorge yourself on candy and sweets, and there are plenty of trick-or-treaters to your door. Oh! And I hope you don’t run into this guy: Many thanks to Jamie Spencer for his fantastic advent calendar this year. If you missed any of them, you Continue reading →

I have enjoyed opening my flickr page each day and seeing what Jamie Spencer (morgan19) has posted, so it’s a little bittersweet to know that advent is nearly done. Fortunately, I’ve got two more days before it’s all done. Bwahahahahaha. See the rest of the week’s minifigures here: October 21 October 23 October 24 October Continue reading →

The end, that is, of October and Jamie‘s fabulous advent calendar. I want to present this week’s batch, with my top two favorites: The Broken and Take your Cthulhu to Work Day. The other figures from this week are below: October 19 October 17 October 16 October 15

I saw these minifigures this morning and was just…impressed. I LOVE the combinations TheBrickAvenger‘s got going on to represent pirates. According to the description on the photo, these are contest entries for “A Pirate’s Life for Me” on LEGO Contest Network. This group of characters can be seen in action here:

The saga continues as Jamie Spencer releases his terror-filled fury of minifigures day by day. I’ve highlighted a few of my favorites from the last week that I particularly enjoyed; though, choosing one or two is exceedingly difficult. But the Mimes of Moria made me laugh; great timing, considering I just watched all three (extended Continue reading →

Nannan just posted about the 6860 Batcave and other 2012 sets, but I think this deserves its own post: We now have our first decent/official photos of the upcoming Collectible Minifigures Series 7. Here’s what I’m seeing, with names I make up as I go along: Internet Geek Bride Daredevil Operatic Viking Lady Tarzan & Continue reading →

Part of the joy of the advent calendars is the surprise of not know what comes next. Jamie‘s calendar continues to do just that. I particularly like today’s play off Dorian Gray. I expect the Bonemeal Hag to appear in her own Grimm fairytale. Click for October 1-4!

I’d apologize for the amount of pictures in this post, but I’m not going to. I’m afraid that Jamie might just create a figure to come after me in my sleep. I’m compelled to post all that are available. And let’s face it: these are AWESOME. Jamie has started his annual Halloween advent, and the Continue reading →

BrickWarriors is a new company, specializing in custom weapons and accessories designed for use with LEGO minifigures. They recently sent me a complimentary review package of their initial offering. The quality of the pieces is on par with the other well-known custom companies. While the plastic doesn’t feel exactly like LEGO, it is very close Continue reading →
