Two weeks before their scheduled release in April, the new LEGO Prince of Persia sets have found their way first to Toys R Us online. Three out of the five sets are now available at MSRP, and with free shipping over $100, this makes for a great opportunity to get these new sets early!
UPDATE: you can use the code 935009 (exp. 3/21/10) to receive $10 off on orders over $50. However, this cannot be combined with the free shipping offer.
A girl appeared on a German TV show to identify Star Wars minifigs, not through any conventional way of referencing Peeron or Bricklink but by using her mouth! I’d say that’s a pretty useful skill to have, don’t you think?

Kevin Murney (legorevolution) apologizes in advance for ruining your childhood with this disturbingly apocafied rendition of Toy Story. The creation features Psycho Green Car, Gas Mask Woody, and Buzzsaw Buzz. I will not say more, I think you get the point.
Pixar movies seem to be a serious favorite here, and for me, UP is no exception. Peter Aoun’s latest little vignette brings the same sense of wonder, of far off places, of strange birds…and Doug.
One of the cool things about the LEGO hobby is that it brings together people from various backgrounds and professions.
Tommy Williamson (GeekyTom) works for CafeFX as an effects artist, and supervised the 3D-ification of Alice in Wonderland. Naturally, Tommy built some of the characters from the movie to commemorate its release:
Johnny Depp makes a perfect Mad Hatter, and Tommy’s miniland version is perfect as well.
For once, we’re going to pass up a StarCraft II LEGO creation by Matt De Lanoy (Pepa Quin) in favor of what’s sure to be the next Snakes on a Plane. What could that be? Why, Hot Tub Time Machine of course!
There’s a moment in Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner that sends chills up and down my spine every time I watch it. Rutger Hauer and Harrison Ford stand on a rooftop in the rain as Hauer’s character breathes his last.
Zach Macias has recreated that scene in LEGO:

This Mechagodzilla by Yasutaka (AIWSMOYA) takes me back to the monster movies and TV shows my brother and I grew up watching early on weekend mornings back in Japan.
The sculpting on Mechagodzilla’s head is particularly great, with nice use of cheese slopes and small wing plates.
This is also exactly the sort of LEGO creation we’d love to see tromping through a LEGO Tokyo for the Big in Japan display we’re planning for BrickCon 2010.
This Technic version of the Aerospatiale SA-2 Samson VTOL aircraft from James Cameron’s Avatar by Barry (barman) features so many working components it’s hard to list my favorites.
With counter-rotating props, doors that open and close, and a central joystick that controls the angle of the props, you have to see the video to believe it:
Thanks for the tip, mahjqa!
The first full-length LEGO Movie, The Adventures of Clutch Powers, has just been released. You can buy it from Walmart.com (and Amazon.com), and I assume other stores will carry it as well.
Here’s the trailer:
