You’d figure that if LEGO released a Wii Remote they’d do it right and let you build the whole thing from scratch. But seeing as there are small kids and even smaller geriatrics who regularly use the Wii, LEGO saw that it was more fitting to introduce a branded Wiimote with a little less need for technical know-how. So we ...

Hands down, the most convenient way to build a robot in your own home is LEGO’s Mindstorm NXT set, which fuses robotics and LEGO bricks in a combination of geeky and nostalgic joy. LEGO just released MindDroid, an Android app which lets you remotely control your Mindstorm creations from your Android device. MindDroid uses Bluetooth to wirelessly connect to the ...

If I were Ron Perlman, I might be a little concerned. LEGO Hellboy came out of nowhere and showed off its clone-like resemblance to his comic book counterpart. I mean, there’s always the matter of the LEGO-man’s small stature, but anything can be edited with special effects these days. And just think of the money they’d save on wardrobe and ...

For some of our favorite pop culture characters, an official LEGO minifig is nothing but a pipe dream. We rely on custom producers much more talented then ourselves to create the minifigs that the powers that be at LEGO have yet to grace us with. Han Solo has been reproduced in minifig form multiple times, but finally LEGO has released ...

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 ...

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 ...

While it took several months to obtain the rarer minifigs he needed to create the LEGO Star Wars Space Invaders plaque that now hangs on his wall, Chris McVeigh aka Powerpig finally finished his awesome mash-up creation. Mixing retro gaming with classic sci-fi action, the Star Wars Space Invaders combo smooshes together everything I love about being a geek. I ...

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 ...

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 ...

Our favorite LEGO artist, Nathan Sawaya, never ceases to amaze us with his awesomeness. Sawaya has shown his devotion to the art of LEGO in the most heart-felt way possible. His new LEGO tattoo disguises his own thumb as a LEGO brick, with ink etched into his skin to create a 3D illusion of brick goodness. Nathan says, “What better ...
