Derek Seiple constructs each LEGO Chess Set made-to-order. You pay, you name your specific color preferences and Seiple crafts a custom brick chess set made of approximately 4,000 LEGO bricks and plates. Each side of the board measures 22.75 inches, the King piece is about 4.5 inches tall. There’s just one itsy-bitsy issue. This chess set is so expensive that it would take Steve Jobs approximately 56 seconds to earn the money to pay for it. 56 seconds! Do you... Continue reading

It took 2,400 LEGO bricks, three Mindstorms NXT kits and nine additional NXT motors to complete, but Battlebricks’ MakerLegoBot has done it. The home-constructed LEGO 3D Printer is a LEGO-created device made to compose custom LEGO creations up to 12 bricks high. The 3D LEGO Printer assembles your LEGO designs brick by brick, following print commands through a USB connection that are translated from a Java application running on the connected PC. You can build your very own LEGO Printer... Continue reading

On January 15, 2009, Chelsey “Sully” Sullenberger miraculously landed US Airways Flight 1549 on the surface of the Hudson River after a collision with a flock of geese left the plane unflyable. Unbelievably, the skid landing resulted in zero fatalities, thanks to the flight skill and experience of 57-year-old Captain Sully. With the power of Twitter at our fingertips, we were able to witness the thrilling rescue as coast guard officials closed in on the crashed jet. It’s a day... Continue reading

You know what they say about stop-motion? Each minute of footage takes about 6-7 hours to film, give or take. Sure, it’s labor intensive. I’ll give them that. But can it handle the superb sci-fi RTS action of StarCraft? It can… to a certain point. While it sure as hell looks awesome, even LEGO bricks can’t solve the problems of this Terran. No northern defenses means death from above in this case. Koobz Stuidos did a kick ass job of... Continue reading

Moranis has got to be a geek. Just look at those glasses, that grin, his hair, that tight buttocks… wait, I meant tight scrotum. NO NO, tight acting skills! Yes. Acting skills. Aside from his affinity to inspire man crushes, Moranis has just GOT to be a fan of LEGOs. And these LEGO Ghostbusters pieces would definitly fall under “things fans of LEGOs enjoy.” Alex Schranz created a bunch of Ghostbuster-themed LEGO creations and posted them to Flickr for everyone...

The Slave I is typically my second favorite ship in all of the Star Wars canon (my favorite being the Millennium Falcon, naturally). Something about it’s souped-up weapon systems and vertical flight position just really caught my imagination. But does its LEGO counterpart have the same effect? You bet your buns. The 1:152 scaled model of the Slave 1, originally owned by Jango Fett, eventually passed down to his clone of a son Boba, accomplishes what so many other LEGO... Continue reading

Flickr user Pepa Quin has been working on the Futurama New New York LEGO project for a while, giving us a few brief glimpses of the project over the past few years. But finally, we see the finished product. A metropolis of geeky proportions the likes of which we’ve never seen before. Everything from Planet Express to Robot Arms Apts. to a cameo by Robot Santa Claus. There are an Easter Egg or two thrown in as well. These aren’t... Continue reading

Kids love their LEGOs, no doubt about it. But somethings are better left for us mature and responsible adults. Well, as mature and responsible as you can be while at the same time building stuff like this LEGO Sniper Rifle. Built using LEGO Technics, Jack Streat created this full functioning Lee Enfield Sniper Rifle, and by fully functioning, we mean it shoots LEGO bricks pretty accurately within a few feet. While I’m pretty sure Osama bin Laden no need worry... Continue reading

Anybody who has followed Gearfuse long enough knows that there are really no limits to the artistry that can go into LEGO work. In fact, there are people who even make a career out of it. But Dave and John Xandegar simply wanted to create a power tool capable of fulfilling the geeky carpenter. The LEGO Circular Saw is probably one of the most dangerous LEGO pieces ever created, as the blade is in fact very real, but precautions were... Continue reading

What’d you think? Those brick blocks just appeared out of thin air? I’m sure he wouldn’t be too happy if I went around clogging all of his clients’ toilets. Seriously, Mr. Brick-Layer Man. Just hook me up with some Taco Bell and revenge can be yours. He’s really been asking for it. Link
