There’s an interesting article and video up on the BBC website about some hardcore Lego Modellers. I’m a big lego fan although I am not nearly as extreme as these people. It’s worth a look if you like all thinks brick and minifig! Incidentally, if you are a lego fan and you haven’t seen it already, check out “The Brothers Brick”. It’s a great site with lots of great models built by people.

This has to be the coolest remote control airplane ever.

The first full trailer for Toy Story 3 is now available online at Apple’s Movie Trailers Site. Looks like a blast!

This is why, even at 30+ years of age I still love lego.

All this talk of recession lately got me thinking. When I was young I had a very inventive mind. I used to be always coming up with strange and interesting, and usually physics defying impossible things. One of my earliest inventions was a gun that makes pictures come real. The idea was that you would point it at a product in a catalogue, pull the trigger and the thing would come alive off the page and into reality. In essence it was a stick and two wires, which, had someone not stopped me I fully intended to plug in. I was utterly convinced it would work. I got the idea while browsing the pages of the Lego catalogue and dreaming about the cool sets I knew my parents couldn’t afford. It wasn’t that I expected them to be bought for me, or even that I was ever angry that I couldn’t have the big toys. In the 80’s when I was growing up people just didn’t have money, and none of us really knew what it was like to have any kind of disposable income. I just decided to come up with my own solution.

Is there anything people won’t build out of lego? Simply incredible.

Awesome…..
