The Day Brickfilms.com Crashed

This is a brickfilmer organized by myself and animated by myself and eleven other brickfilmers. Enjoy!

For some reason embedding YouTube clips doesn’t work for me, so here’s the link:

EDIT (AB): Embed’d. I’ll shoot you an e-mail with a couple technical questions.

Rainbow Minifigs

Inspired by Dave VinZant and Jojo. Not meant to be comprehensive, but it was fun trying to see if I had various minifig parts and accessories in the various colors.

Oh, and Mr. Fleshie didn’t fit in the nice grid above. Hmmm…

Arvo’s Ford GT40

One word: Arvo. Need we say more?

News: Hi-Res pics of 10190 Market Street

We learned about this set a month ago, the images available for scrutiny were rather small. Eurobricks member copmike has discovered higher resolution pictures on the LEGO Shop@Home site.

LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT PackBot by Brian Davis

We like reader submissions. Here’s one from Brian Davis (a contributor over at The NXT STEP):

You can also watch PackBot try to escape from the cruel slavery of its human masters.

Thanks Brian!

We Watch Them All On YouTube

As the popularity of YouTube has increased, so too has the number of brickfilms are YouTube. YouTube is an excellent place for brickfilmers to post and share their stop-motion animations.

Here are some brickfilmer YouTube channels, including my own:

Those should be enough to keep you occupied for a while. Enjoy! BTW, if you didn’t get the title reference….

This is Spartan 117

Okay, so this isn’t all that original — how many different ways are there, really, to make a purist Master Chief? — but I’ve been waiting to improve my first version for a while. With the new bronze/gold visor in the Mars Mission sets, I finally had the piece I needed.

News: Details Released for “LEGO Universe” MMOG

EDIT (6/3/07): Oops. Someone jumped the gun, and the pictures have been taken down. Hope you enjoyed them while they lasted.

The LEGO-themed massively multiplayer online game in development by LEGO and NetDevil now has a name: LEGO Universe. Here’s some preliminary artwork:

And here’s the scoop from Denmark:

The LEGO Group is working on a group of initiatives which in the coming years will offer young and older LEGO fans all over the worlds new ways of play and experiences with the LEGO brand. The famous brick and the minifigure will come to live in the virtual world.

The new LEGO Universe will combine both gaming, building and the opportunity for social networking on the very same webpage.

The whole development process is happening in tight synergy with the dedicated LEGO fans. The fans try out the ideas the professional game developers are creating.

According to the plans the LEGO Universe will be to experience on-line for a larger group approx mid 2008.

Ultimately the LEGO Group want to offer the unique experience to play with the LEGO brick both virtually and physically together with your friends from all over the world, and you can even change from the physically to the virtual play as you like – “You are in control”.

You can apparently watch a clip on Danish television, though I can’t seem to get it to work. If you don’t speak Danish, try this: If you view this today, click Nyheder in the top right, then click 18.30 under I går. If you view it tomorrow, you’ll need to click 18.30 under Onsdag instead.

Finally, more artwork:
