How do you sort LEGO? Well for me, a good sorting system is one where you can find exactly what you want to build with the least amount of hassle (peanut butter jars and ice cream containers optional).
Read MoreThe Japanese have elevated "lunch to go" to practically an art form, with an endless variation of boxes, food and creative presentation. Who wouldn't want to take a break from their busy work day and dig into one of these? Certainly more appetizing than a brown paper bag. I can't speak to the nutritional value of this bento box lunch from builder nobu_tary, but it's certainly got appeal.
I went to Japan once, it was in the late 90's and quite the adventure. It started simply enough, with some press junkets for Armageddon and lots of meetings. There was food too, lots of it, and it was sensational every where we went. And presented well, with pride and panache, like this bento box from nobu_tary. Then I got sick, asian influenza type two, and became quite familiar with my hotel room... for three long and brutal days longer than I planned to stay in the country.
Hungry? How about some Japanese? Take a look at all this stuff, take a close look. It's all LEGO. Yes, even the glass and the napkin are LEGO! This isn't the greatest photo, but it's a brilliant build. Nice work Garth.
