Congratulations on 10,000 votes!

I know it's a showing a bit of favoritism, but I love this MOC and I'm really hoping it goes to the next level. Angus MacLane's WALL•E has just passed the 10,000 mark, qualifying it for official review by LEGO. If all goes well we can all have an adorable little robot of our own, best of luck Angus!

BrickNerd Episode 207

Featuring two LEGO Ideas sets, The Exo Suit and Ghostbusters Ecto-1.

WALL•E

Director, builder and all around awesome guy Angus MacLane has further refined his already amazing WALL•E and the results speak for themselves. The best news is you don't just have to gawk at pictures of this MOC, with your support, there's a chance you could have one of your very own. Less than 2500 votes needed, it's getting so close! 

Exo Suit Comparison

Exo Suit designer Peter Reid has posted a fantastic side-by-side of his design vs the final product from LEGO and LEGO designer Mark Stafford. Clearly scale is a major deviation, as well as ankle joints and some of the larger body components like the barrels in the forearms. But as you can see it's faithful to the spirit, and fantastically designed. I prefer Pete's compactness and more mechanical look, but I sorta like LEGO's take on contrast. I prefer Pete's more exposed cockpit as well, but Mark's makes great use of the new handlebars. We'll have a LiveBuild and full review soon enough, in the mean time just stare at this and droooooool.

LEGO Exo Suit Unveiled!

What better way to unveil the Exo Suit than with a marvelous animation by long time Pete Reid collaborator Chris Salt? If you weren't excited before, this should do the trick.

It's Coming...

LEGO Ideas designer Peter Reid is teasing us, but I'm OK with it. Mainly because I know we're so very close to finally getting our hands on his mechanical bipedal beauty the Exo Suit. I had the honor of holding the original in my hands and I can't wait to play with it's brethren.

Mmmmmm, Roach Coach

Raise your hands if you love the food truck! There's a taco truck in town we visit at least every other week, awesome food. And I've spent whole segments of my life living off one (not to be confused with film set catering, my loathing for movie food is infamous). So this excellent little LEGO Ideas project caught my eye. All the details are perfect, I just wish LEGO made a taco element.

I'm On A Boat

Hey Brick Fans. If it feels like I'm a bit out of touch this weekend, it's because I am. I'm setting sail on the Disney Wonder and I won't have internet, cell phone, smoke signals or semaphore (well, maybe semaphore, but I won't understand it). Speaking of the Wonder, check out this awesome MOC by Shawn Steele. It's now on LEGO Ideas and needs your support. It would make a very cool, very large set.
