Instructables never ceases to amaze me. This time around, we have some absolutely delicious LEGO gummies. User SFHandyman discuses how to use a silicone mold to form the candy and goes through the process of using Jello to create the actual candy. The only thing that could make these treats better would be if you could actually build with them. One can dream… Link [via]

Yesterday, the LEGO World event began. To promote the event Leon Krijgsman of Jetix (more X-Men, please) rolled through the streets of Amsterdam in this LEGO Ferrari F1. This automobile is made up of 80,000 LEGO bricks and that’s not counting the LEGO pit crew who maintain it. The event will be held in Zwolle until the 21st and will demonstrate some of the most innovative projects regarding LEGOs. Perhaps we’ll see more LEGO automobiles or maybe even another tower...

I don’t know a ton of information about this set of LEGO figures I found on Brickshelf. Use Morgan19 seems to have created a whole set of Halloween-themed minifigs that really go to the next level. I’m partial to the chainsaw-wielding LEGO dude below but don’t miss some other good ones like Icebreaker, The Ghoul Groom and Zombie Rifleman. I’m guessing these were all modified and painted by Morgan19, ’cause last time I checked, they don’t make Zombie Nazi LEGOs... Continue reading

That’s a cake. No, really, it’s a cake. I’m telling you man, you’ve got to believe me – it really is a cake. The LEGO Batman launch party must have been a huge success because Elisa Strauss of Confetti Cakes showed up with this masterpiece of fattening goodness. Once again, it is a cake. Link [via]

What up everybody. This cool Lego creation is a model of Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport that I spotted when I landed in Europe yesterday morning. Thanks to the folks at Eurail and various tourism ministries, I’m here on a ten day trip through Portugal, Spain, and Amsterdam. While I’m traveling, in addition to all the regular Gearfuse goodness, expect weekend updates on the hottest street art, design, and high tech goodies from across the pond. It’s going to be awesome.

I love the coloring on this LEGO car from Lino Martins. Very intricate, very pleasing on the eyes. Yes? Link [via]

That was a good joke. But seriously, I wouldn’t even blink if she named one of her fucking kids LEGO. That woman is a straight up ‘tard. Link

Designed by one Mariann Asanuma, this LEGO champagne bottle is exquisite and features great detail to the neck of the bottle. I have to say, I’m more fond of the brand of champagne she chose. Any bottle with a pirate flag on it is a bottle for good times. The bottle is also designed to “break” into five pieces, as if you were truly drunk as your brother’s wedding

Apparently, NXT STEP blog reader DTAAX’s watch must have broke, which would explain why he designed this LEGO sundial. This DIY finds a new way to tell time the old way. It was built using the LEGO NTX platform (plus a PDA for trigonometric functions) using a slew of light and touch sensors, allowing the sundial to perform like any other sundial save that it’s powered by three motors. After the LEGO set rotates for some time, Bluetooth communications are... Continue reading

Three-dimensional printing is tough. That is, if you don’t make one out of LEGOs. Gene Hacker posted his creation on Instructables: a 3-D printer made out of LEGO bricks. It’s still in its infancy of development but is more than capable of rendering 3-D blobs of frosting. Unlike regular Cartesian system printers, the one Gene built operates in polar coordinates, in other words, a circular motion of printing. When asked why he didn’t build a Cartesian system printer (similar to... Continue reading
