Lemmings – a fast road to frustration

Blocker Lemming

This one should bring about fond or frustrated memories to some of you and blank looks of confusion to the rest. Meet Blocker Lemming.

Gently down the stream...

Check out Tiberium_Blue’s action-packed river scene. I’m lovin’ that tree….

Now this is disturbing

Jordan Schwartz has built an interesting scene, if pigs in speedos interest you. I wish I could erase it from my mind! But I had to check out the details in this weird little scene. The beach ball, the ducky float-tube, the towel on the sand. Excellent!

Good job, Jordan, now I have even more issues than before…

Pirate Master Builder Event at Downtown Disney! [News]

We have received word, from Steve Witt, that there will be a Master Builder Event at the Downtown Disney LEGO Store in Orlando, Florida. The dates are November 7 – 9. What can you do? Help build a LEGO Pirate, 8 feet tall! Dan Steininger, a Lego Master Builder, will be building this new model with the help of the whatever LEGO fans are present! All participants will receive a free Certificate of Achievement (while supplies last), $5 off coupons, and special offers in the store. They will also be holding a raffle for a $50 Gift Card. Hours are 11-7 on Friday, 10-6 on Saturday, and 11-6 on Sunday. Be there or be square!

Woof.

Psst, everyone, remember why we’re here?  LEGO is awesome.  Check out this cute Boston Terrier by Mike “Count Blockula” Crowley:

President-Elect Barack Obama

There are more partisan LEGO images I could have chosen, but this beautiful mosaic by Udronotto seemed the most appropriate.

(Like Senator McCain’s concession speech a moment ago, let’s keep the comments civil, dear readers.)

Obama elected president

America has a new president. Congratulations Barack Obama!

This is Sparta!

Prepare for glory, Flickr user keithcku presents this famous scene from the movie 300.

Renders by Ernesto

It seems like many were impressed with the Dimitri’s render of the Mammoth Tank. Just now I stumbled upon a Flickr user, Ernesto Carrillo, who has a set of amazing digital renders of LEGO Technic models. Check them out:

Define swooshability

Jarek‘s pointy Zaria Interceptor is a typical spacefigher with a high swoosh factor. Also, I want to highlight the fact that Jarek finally signed up on Flickr after recommendations from several fellow builders. You can add him as a contact here.

Smashing angel

Mark Stafford‘s Sentai Angel is by far from a delicate mecha. It looks like this raging robo can dish out some serious damage. The most interesting bit of this creation is unarguably the use of train heads on the legs! Who’d have thought?

Lurking evil in the perfect life

Tom Snellan is the first to enter the 6th annual Collossal Castle Contest with a creation that sets the bar high. Titled “The Perfect Life?”, this seemingly peaceful diorama depicts happiness with a twist, where hooded Death approaches ominously to claim an innocent’s life. What an eerie juxtaposition!
