Who You Gonna Call?

The Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary project has Achieved 10K supporters and is now in review by LEGO. Fingers crossed Ghostbusters fans, this is a very cool idea. I want a Luis Tully figure though.
Bricks By The Bay Is This Weekend
/
I won't be there, but if you're in the bay area come check out the MOCs and LEGO nerds at Bricks By The Bay. The exhibition is Sunday, Aug 11 from 10am-4pm at the Hyatt Regency Santa Clara.
LEGO Simpsons?
/
BrickNerd is way too new and small to be even a faint blip on LEGO's PR radar, so I get my news like you guys, from the internets. I saw several posts about LEGO announcing that The Simpsons would be coming in 2014. But I've seen no official image, no official news release excerpt and no page on lego.com. It all seems like either rumor or leak. Either way, LEGO is quiet.
Collectible Minifigures Series 11
/There has been images floating around for weeks, but it's finally official. LEGO has announced series 11 of their wildly popular collectible Minifigures line. My personal favorite is the Island Warrior, but the Welder is a close second. Now if I could actually get them locally...

Happy Birthday Brothers Brick!
/It has been eight years since the first post on TBB, and what an eventful eight years it has been. TBB was one of the first websites I found when I was discovering that I wasn't the only adult playing with LEGO ("adult" used here as a measurement of time, not maturity). They've been a source of inspiration and information for years and they're nothing less than awesome. Happy B-Day TBB!
Countdown To Comic-Con
/
San Diego Comic-Con is only a few days away. If you're attending I'd like to invite you to a panel, BrickJournal: LEGO as an Art Form. It's on Saturday at 5:00PM in room 23ABC. It features BrickJournal's Joe Meno, LEGO Artist and STUDS founder Brandon Griffith, world famous LEGO artist Nathan Sawaya and me (wait a minute, me?) Yes, for some reason I was invited to sit on this panel with three totally awesome AFOLs, go figure.

San Diego Comic Con LEGO Exclusives!
/The LEGO SDCC exclusives have been revealed, and they're pretty sweet. Hundreds are supposed to be given away next week so limber up those line waiting muscles and wear comfortable shoes.
It's Free Slurpee Day!
/What more do I have to say? Go get a free Slurpee! Oh, and this MOC from the Mini Shop Series on Cuusoo is brilliant, as they all are. It's supported, but still waiting for official word from LEGO.
It's Goot!
/No Starch Press announced the German versions of The LEGO Adventure Book, Vol. 1: Cars, Castles, Dinosaurs & More! and The Unofficial LEGO Technic Builder's Guide. I can't speak nor read German and I'll spare you the comedy of using Google Translate to generate some German wit.
