Eric Hunter‘s 2ft. tall LEGO Peter Griffin sculpture has a grin that’ll crack your television set, in a good way that is.

MacLane scores 1,000,000 Points to become Campeon del Mundo
1,000,000 Points is what Angus MacLane wins for building the cast of my favorite show on TV, 30 Rock. Here’s Frank Rossitano (Judah Friedlander), complete with trucker hat:
…plus four more, including the lovely Liz Lemon:
I want to go to there.
Mike Wazowski experiences a rather nasty surprise
Iain Heath (Ochre Jelly) makes a rather hilarious connection between Mike from Monsters, Inc. and a Granny Smith apple. Jaw-dropping indeed.
For a bonus Monsters, Inc. LEGO creation, here’s “Boo’s Door” by Alex Eylar:

Rainbow Brite brings color to the world
Since I wasn’t around when the mid-80’s cartoon Rainbow Brite debuted, I’ll assume the ignorant blogger in writing this post. For those who are old enough to have watched the show back in the day, these figures by Dave Sterling should evoke a pleasant trip down memory lane, one which you can relive over and over by purchasing these figures from Creations for Charity.
Thank you Dave Shaddix for the reminder to blog this :)
Cars!
It looks like Angus MacLane is at it again. This time, he’s built Luigi from the Pixar film Cars. This LEGO rendition is just as funny and cute as the original.
I guess it shouldn’t come as a surprise when someone who works at Pixar builds something from their movies. What continues to be impressive is how great Angus’s models end up being.
I would put a tax on all people who stand in water!
I had the distinct pleasure of seeing John Cleese in person last night at the Moore Theatre in Seattle. As my first post after being away for a couple of weeks, I have the distinct pleasure tonight of blogging this CubeDude Gumby by Iain Heath (Ochre Jelly):
Happy Halloween 2009!
Ok, so I’m jumping the gun by a couple of days, but I couldn’t pass up Keith Goldman‘s latest creation. The lighting is just gorgeous.
Awesome Prawn
A while ago we saw a the mecha from District 9 by Brian Kescenovitz. Now, Adrian Florea (Olog) built what some have considered impossible – the organic-looking alien species known as the prawns. You’ll have to zoom in on this creation to appreciate all the subtle ingenious parts usages on this realistic rendition of Christopher the prawn with his signature red vest.
Lego Reality Shows...for real? [News]
Yup, you read that right…Lego reality shows. According to Variety, LEGO is partnering with Scott Messick to develop several different ideas.
Reality producer Scott Messick has partnered with the Lego Group to develop nonscripted programming related to the toy building-block franchise.
Messick said he’s developing several different types of reality shows related to the brand – including docuseries, competition shows and kid-oriented gamers.
“Lego seemed like such a powerful brand, and I don’t think they were thinking about reality TV,” said Messick, who is exec producer of Cartoon Network’s “Destroy Build Destroy.”
Read the full-length article for more information. I’m withholding judgment until I actually see these. The docu-series, based on the travels of some of the Master Builders, sounds interesting. Not to sure about the game shows and such. What are your thoughts about this?
Howl’s Moving LEGO Castle
Imagine Rigney is the only builder I know to have built Howl’s Moving Castle beyond a microscale version. For a teenage builder, this is quite an achievement as he has captured the haphazard looks of the castle by using angled plates and a mash up of rusty colors.

There’s somethin’ movin’ and it ain’t us!
Lord Dane presents the best minifig-scale xenomorph from the Alien series that I recall seeing.
Exo-Force robot arms, minifig hands, and even flippers add a lot of organic detail to the alien.
Rubber ducky, you’re the one . . .
Like Dan, I picked up a bug at BrickCon, but unlike him I dont’ have the good sense to avoid blogging while sick.
While (or “whilst,” if I want to be contextually appropriate) BrickCon was the big event on this side of the Atlantic last weekend, builders in the UK geared up quite successfully for The Great Western LEGO Show (Oct 3-4) at the STEAM Museum in Swindon, England. They have a lot to brag about, both individually and collectively, but this sculpture of Bert and Ernie by James Shields (LostCarPark) is what caught my feverish and sentimental eye.
As Ralph Savelsberg said in the comments for the picture “Is anybody our age not a fan of these two?”
