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

Have you ever felt so depressed that you felt inanimate? Sad Keanu does. He’s so deep in the dumps that he can barely move. Wait, he can’t move at all! This Sad Keanu was crafted out of LEGO bricks. Presented on the floor of BrickCon 2010. If the Sad Keanu papercraft monitor guardian wasn’t enough to keep you as depressed as possible, you can try to build your own out of LEGO bricks. There’s no step-by-step guide, but if you... Continue reading

Marriage. All in all it’s just another LEGO brick in the wall. Not as painful or permanent as tattoos, but just as painful to remove from your life, marriage is the ultimate commitment, when taken seriously. The LEGO Wedding Ring is the most effective way to prove your devotion. In other words, how devoted do you have to be to fall victim to your significant other’s obsession. Flickr user ColorMeKate shares her gorgeous photos from her friend Tyler’s wedding. Sure,... Continue reading

How do you take down a ghost with a chip on its shoulder? Yeah, we’re looking at you Blinky. It’s simple enough. When Pac-Man himself just isn’t cutting it, it’s time to whip out some heavy artillery. The LEGO Pac-Man Walker illustrates my point to perfection. Strap Pac-Man onto a pair of exoskeleton legs, complete with blasters and I’m pretty sure the ghosts won’t be laughing at you much longer. There’s no hiding the fruit from the Pac now. Link...

Alcohol? Check. Tobacco? Double check. Should marijuana be legal? Probably not. At least not yet. But then again, either should alcohol, or guns, or Octomom. The fine line between liberty and public safety has to be drawn somewhere. It’s just a matter of assessing the threats. Now, LEGO pot? I have no problems with that. Perfectly healthy for all children over 4. Your minifigs will love you long time. [via]

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

Our favorite LEGO artist, Nathan Sawaya, has decided to do something a little different this time around. His newest project takes LEGO bricks to the streets of New York City. Meet Hugman, a humanoid LEGO structure built to hug various objects in populated areas. While Hugman rarely spends more than one day in one given spot (we imagine he’d be subject to vandalism if left much longer), seeing a LEGO sculpture in any capacity should be enough to change your...

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
