Goin' Live In 24 Hours, For 24 Hours

/

If you're like me your nerdiness extends beyond just the realm of bricks. If you're also into designer toys, art, vinyl and just toys in general, I'd like to introduce you to Toy Break (if you don't know about it already). Toy Break is a weekly web series hosted by Ayleen and George Gaspar. Tomorrow night they are broadcasting their yearly 24 hour live show, and I'm going to be there.

Join me at 5pm PST on Friday with Ayleen, George and a ton of artists and toy enthusiasts as we raise funds for Toy Break and just have a lot of fun.

A Life-Size LEGO Car...That Runs On Air!

/

Holy Shmoly! This is pretty amazing. The Super Awesome Micro Project is the brainchild of Steve Sammartino and and Raul Oaida. Steve is a marketing guru and Raul is, well, a genius. This crowd-sourced project has over a half million bricks, four orbital engines, 256 pistons and a top speed of about 15MPH. But enough blabber, watch the video!

Thanks for the head's up Brad

A Galaxy To Build

/

Chris McVeigh has updated the instructions for his Star Wars inspired ornaments. Most are PaB compatible and all are adorable. Let's face it, your tree is naked without these. You don't want a naked tree do you? Aunt Doris is coming over and the neighbors can see it through the window. Go there, get these.

Get That Wookie A Medal

I remember distinctly being 9 years old and watching this scene, my heart soaring. Then there was that moment when I thought, "hey, Chewie didn't get a medal, what the heck?"

This is from an upcoming book called LEGO Galaxy: Build Your Own Universe. Coming out in December.
