If you’re looking to fully accessorize your home with LEGO, you’re going to need a place to hang your coat. You’re going to need the LEGO City Coat Rack. Now you might be thinking, “hey, couldn’t I just build this myself rather than spend $22 on it?” but there’s one crucial flaw to that question. LEGOs are not exactly conducive to hanging things on. If you just nail a baseplate into the wall and tack on a few bricks, your jacket is going to hit the floor faster than you can say parka. So yeah, go with the official one here cause each hook can hold 11 pounds. Includes city worker minifigures and mounting screws.
Here’s a cool video showing an impressive LEGO Rube Goldberg machine. While I’m not exactly sure what the end result is, it’s flipping down some Japanese? letters/numbers? that spell out something I guess- the mechanics of it are pretty impressive. That and the fact that it’s labeled as “take 187″ because personally 150 takes is my limit before I take the sledgehammer to my LEGO construction. But that’s just me.
Interested in decorating your living room or bedroom with a six foot tall Mario made entirely of LEGO? Well you can own this record setting Mario for yourself because it’s up for auction on eBay. All proceeds go to charity- the Ronald McDonald House. I’m sure you can make a little room for a 110 pound statue made of 40,000 bricks somewhere in your home. Bidding’s up to 2,550 EUR, or about $3800 right now. That’s less than a 1/10 of a penny per brick!
Broseph, that video above has just like completely blown my mind, bro. I wasn’t even aware that you could make Legos move like that. A mere 4,500 LEGO pieces went in to building this pop-up model of the Kinkaku-ji Buddhist temple that unfolds out of the box in a way that is astounding. I literally have no idea how he managed to do this. Nor do I care. I’m just glad it’s possible and I’ll await the next creation. Mind=blown.
Here’s a cool cello made entirely of Legos. From my understanding a cello is some sort of stringed musical instrument. I only listen to bluegrass hip-hop (big fan of the West Side Mountain Boyz) so I’m pretty unfamiliar with exotic instruments such as the cello. They say this is life-sized. Professional brick artist Nathan Sawaya says it “sounds different than a regular cello”. Then he proceeds to post a video which does NOT include the cello being played. So yeah, use your imagination I guess. It probably only plays in 8 bit. I’m heading back to listen to my music now, gonna pop on my favorite tune “orange blossom .38 special to the dome”.
Design your own shirt! The Brick Construction Shirt is a regular t-shirt with a Lego baseplate attached to the chest. You can add on any type of Lego, PixelBlocks, Mega Bloks, and K’NEX Bricks pieces you want to create your own flat or 3D shirt. The possibilities are endless.
Gears, motors, mini-figs- anything is possible. When you get tired of one creation, just take if off and build another one. You’ll have to take the pieces off to wash the shirt anyway (you do wash your clothes, right?) Baseplate is removable for washing. No Legos are included except the baseplate. Available in any color you like as long as it’s black.
That’s a 10-4 Lego man. These mildly fugly walkie talkies are another in the continuing series of Lego electronic devices that we’ve seen in the last few months. They have a 3000 foot range, volume control and push to talk features. What they don’t have is style. Most walkie talkies tend to go for a more rugged look. These ones- not so much. Unless you’re looking to camouflage yourself in aisle 8 of Toys ‘R Us, you’re going to stick out like a sore thumb using these comm devices. And since they’re portable, you wouldn’t even want to build up a mini Lego world on top of them, as it would be slightly unwieldy to carry them around if they were 5 times the size and looked like a spaceship.
Here is the greatest LEGO stop motion animated video you will ever see today. If you see a cooler video featuring LEGO sometime today, I will refund your money, no questions asked. Ok maybe a few questions, but not a full blown interrogation. This trippy video took a mere 1500 hours to create- that’s 62+ days non-stop 24 hours a day. On to the video:
