I’m extremely pleased to announce that Keith Goldman has joined The Brothers Brick as our resident Columnist.
Keith is one of those LEGO fans of near-mythical proportions. Having met Keith in person, I can report that he stands nine feet four inches tall (that’s twelve meters for you Canadians), and is able to levitate his […]
The LEGO Group announced partnership with Adam Reed Tucker of Brickstructures Inc. to launch LEGO Architecture, a series of replicas of worldwide landmarks. As stated by LEGO, this “is the first new business launched together with a member of the LEGO community using the LEGO bricks as part of the business.” Currently available are models […]
If you frequently browse Brickshelf, then you’ve probably seen the works of Tiger (tiger0207). To those who only know him by his works, Tiger is reputed as a LEGO comic artist who is skilled in producing comics and artistic LEGO graphics in Chinese. Those who’ve inquired a bit further into his works may have stumbled […]
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, […]
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 […]
I’m loving Gizmodo contributor Jesus Diaz’s coverage of his recent trip to Billund. His latest post includes a great video of his visit to LEGO’s Secret Vault, where the company stores all of the products ever released, in their original packages.
Click through to Gizmodo for the video and the full gallery.
Jesus’ coverage of his trip […]
Gizmodo contributor Jesus Diaz is spending the day at LEGO headquarters in Billund, Denmark tomorrow, and wants to know what sort of questions you’d like him to ask the good people of LEGO, including designers for the MINDSTORMS, Creator, and LEGO Star Wars themes.
Head on over to Gizmodo and leave a comment for Jesus, send […]
With appearances on Letterman and Colbert, “brick artist” Nathan Sawaya is quite possibly the only LEGO builder with anything close to celebrity status — and deservedly so.
Nathan has recently opened an exhibit at the Pearlridge Shopping Center in Aiea, HI. He debuted several new sculptures, including “Green” below:
Nathan also did some onsite work. Here he […]
Brickworld, a LEGO convention in its second year hosted in Chicago, will be taking place in less than two weeks on June 19-22. It is never too late to register, but it’s better to do so sooner than later. I’ll be attending in part on behalf of The Brothers Brick to update the blog with […]
So where’s the Matt Damon minifigure?
Now I want to build a Lego Boulder. If only I had 5 million bricks!
Via Kotaku and my cousin, Jeremy, who told me about it.
Harrison, aka “Corran101″, recently posted a sweet vignette, depicting Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay as they reach the summit of Mt. Everest. This deceptively simple scene is packed with details. The figs are pretty awesome, but that rope makes this perfect.
Brothers Brick contributor Nannan’s Final Run “bignette” is featured in the current issue of the Official Xbox Magazine:
Congratulations, Nannan! Way to represent.
In LAML Radio #33, Josh and I join James to discuss all the tomfoolery on April 1st around the LEGO Web, including our own silliness.
Check it out on Radio.LAML.org.
In this video, former LEGO Community Team manager Jake McKee talks about how LEGO has begun changing its long-standing corporate culture, involving a greater diversity of people to build a community around the company and its brand.
There’s been more than a bit of speculation about the upcoming fan-designed Space sets (a couple more pictures), so I asked Chris Giddens and Mark Sandlin a few questions.
Andrew Becraft: Let’s get the easy questions out of the way. Are the two of you the fans behind the designs for the forthcoming Star Justice and […]
For those of you who haven’t had the pleasure of attending a presentation by BrickArms founder Will Chapman, Gizmodo has a great interview you should go read now.
A brief excerpt:
Jesús Diaz: I think the simplification of the real world weapons is amazing. How is the creative process? How do you decide on one weapon or […]
Okay, not minifigs, but I couldn’t resist the James Joyce/Dylan Thomas reference. Nannan’s post the other day had me looking for more interesting portraits of LEGO builders:
That’s Ronald “woordenaar” E. (Web) on the left and Alan “Kaptain Kobold” Saunders (blog) on the right.
As Ronald says, LEGO is indeed addicting…
