David Pagano, Nate Burr and myself were all recently asked by the LEGO Company to make a brickfilm to celebrate the LEGO minifigure’s 30th birthday. This is my contribution, 30 Years: The Story of the Minifigure. How many historical figures/events can you name?

David Pagano, along with Nate Burr and myself, were recently asked by the LEGO Company to make a brickfilm celebrating the LEGO minifigure’s 30th birthday. David’s brickfilm is a romp through time and space, celebrating the best of the LEGO sets and minifigures over the past 30 years:

In Kristian‘s imagination, aliens are rather clumsy while landing their flying saucers and aren’t especially known for their hygiene:
The slime is rather amusing, and I can’t help but chuckle at the poor guy who didn’t manage to get out from under the saucer’s landing gear.
While we’re at it, here’s the sort of great zombie scene we’re encouraging Brothers Brick readers to bring to the LEGO Zombie Apocafest at BrickCon in October:
(And true to his “birdboykristian” user name on Flickr, Kristian also has some really great ornithological photography in his photostream as well.)
Erik “Eti” Smit has built a faithful recreation of various locations in the world of Pippi Longstocking, including Pippi’s house, Villa Villekulla.
The two-story house has a porch (with a horse on it), lemonade tree, swing set, and detailed interior with a kitchen and bedroom.
Other locations in Pippi’s world include her father’s ship in the harbor, with Blom and Dunder-Karlsson in their prison cell.
Check out the full photoset on Flickr.
edulyoung has built an incredibly detailed Model T. I think my favorite detail is the tires. Awesome.
While only time will tell I have a sneaking suspicion that Mike Psiaki may have just started a fad with his NASCAR racer. It’s small, colourful, easy enough to make and an excellent design.
Stage 1) Mike makes one, Stage 2) I make two, Stage 3) Mike shows a how-to, Stage 4) Instant fad?
Mike Psiaki (who is no stranger to being blogged) has built a climatic scene from The Lost World: Jurassic Park that is better than the movie it was based upon!
Also check out Mike’s three Pteranodon and Parasaurolophus:
EDIT: fixed errors, thanks Dr. Paleo!
LEGO Ambassador Chiukeung won the Hong Kong Scene Building contest with his lighted model of Hong Kong’s Clock Tower and Cultural Centre. The entire scene measures 3’x3’x2′ and is wired with colorful lights. So what does the builder receive for his hard work and creativity? Two roundtrip tickets to LEGOLAND Billund. Enjoy your trip Chiukeung!
