Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Serenity, Firefly, and now Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-Long Blog — everything that Joss Whedon touches turns to gold.
Here’s my take on a scene from Act II of Dr. Horrible:
Go watch all three episodes for yourself on DrHorrible.com (before the end of the day today, though — they’ll be gone after midnight, July [...]
To be perfectly honest, I’ve enjoyed the design aesthetic of the new Battlestar Galactica more lately than the story lines. Oh well. So when Bram Lambrecht combined the Cylon Raider with little plastic bricks from Denmark in 3vil livery, I was rather pleased:

Nickelodeon and LEGO are teaming up to host the “Built by Me” LEGO movie contest as part of the Nicktoons Network Animation Festival.
For your 2-minute (or less) movie animated with LEGO, you could win up to $25,000. w00t! Although Nicktoons is a kids’ network, I’ve taken a look at the rules, and the contest seems [...]
Bryan Hanonymous ,aka The Eggplant Wizard, relives the battle of Helm’s Deep in Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings captured beautifuly in LEGO.
The flood of LEGO Halo creations is so overwhelming that I can make that pun without ever having played the game. Still, this Mongoose ATV and custom UNSC Marine by Vidgamer838 seemed too good to pass up:
Here’s the marine (custom torso decal, painted Rock Raiders helmet, and modified Ninjas armor for shoulder pauldrons) without the [...]
With a modified head piece and sideburns from Arealight, decals from Jared “Kaminoan” Burks, and a megagun from the newly relaunched BrickForge, this Hellboy minifig by Jordan Schwartz brings together elements from several LEGO customizers to create the ultimate custom minifig:
Here’s Red with the rest of the Hellboy crew:
Sjaak Alvarez recently posted a third installment in his ongoing series “It’s hard to be a Stormtrooper”.
Watch for the hilarious cameo at the end:
Sjaak animates each of his videos himself, using 3ds max 2009 and final Render 2.0. Very cool.
Even though Pixar’s Wall-E didn’t dominate the box office this past weekend, our lovable robotic hero continues to dominate the hearts and imaginations of LEGO builders.
First up, Wall-E Directing Animator Angus MacLane adds to his collection of LEGO Wall-E models at three different scales. Here’s a mini Wall-E:
Angus’s micro Wall-E has a two-brick cooler, while [...]
Okay, so a meme from the year 2000 may not be the freshest of source materials, but Will Ferrell as Gene Frenkle is still awesome in my book.
And just in time to freak out my fellow Americans reading this at the top of the blog on Independence Day, I give you big-time communists Fidel Castro [...]
Aliens remains one of my favorite sci-fi movies, in large part because of the awesome (though mostly futile) hardware the Colonial Marines throw at the aliens. Havoc’s version of the M577 APC is chock full of awesome:
This bad boy even has a full interior:
(Via Whippersnappers in the Void.)
The Aliens movies have spawned quite a few [...]
LEGO fans all over the ‘net love the new Pixar movie Wall-E, and they show their affection for the film with wonderful LEGO creations too numerous to post individually.
First up, Mark Sandlin adds crushing action to his Wall-E:
Aaron Lemay goes super-small with his super-cute Wall-E built from only 11 pieces:
Jordan Schwartz breaks from the [...]
I had the pleasure of meeting Pixar animator and LEGO fan Angus MacLane at BrickFest 2007. When I saw the first trailer for Wall•E (in theaters Friday, June 27), I knew we should try to do something special. Our exclusive interview with Angus and first look at his LEGO Wall•E follows.
The Brothers Brick: How long [...]
Boing Boing Gadgets contributor Joel Johnson recently visited futurist Syd Mead’s house. Mead is of course renowned for the designs he’s contributed to many of our favorite movies, including the Spinner from Blade Runner.
Joel reports that LEGO presented a special LEGO Technic Spinner to Mead when the legendary designer visited the company. The Technic Spinner [...]
YouTuber Mar Delgado has posted an intriguing trailer for a LEGO CGI movie he’s working on, inspired by the game God of War:
Very cool.
(And no, this isn’t an “official” trailer. Sadly, there will be no LEGO God of War after LEGO Batman. Nor Grand Theft LEGO.)
Joe Meno, editor of BrickJournal magazine, built the first well-done model of Pixar’s adorable little robot Wall-E. The creation features moving parts including the neck and arms and rolling treads and took three months to plan.
Steven Locke (legoavon) presents a work-in-progress Dalek and Davros which are already by far the best I’ve seen at their size (Steven has also built bigger ones which are possibly better). His part use is breathtaking. I invite every sci-fi lover to browse Steve’s folders as he is an incredibly talented builder.
Inspired and influenced by Steven Marshall’s Johnny 5 robot from the movie Short Circuit, Brickshelf user rack911 has constructed an equally amazing model of Johnny 5. Check out the gallery for some cool mechanical detail pictures.
I’ll admit to never having seen Little Shop of Horrors, but that didn’t mean I didn’t instantly recognize Harrison’s rendition of this cult classic:
More on Flickr.
Harrison made it hard to pick just one creation to feature today. Don’t miss:
