Tableau Beach
/I'd bet just about all of us in the AFOL community, at some point, have heard someone say that we "still play with LEGOs." Okay, fine, I build spaceships, yes. And occasionally swoosh them around the house. It may be a 120 studs long with over 12K pieces, but it's still a spaceship.
Now, Didier Burtin has created a modern artistic piece that may silence those snarky comments. A wall mounted, wood backed, studs up rendering of an ocean view. Using only lines of color, it's very effective, and looks quite impressive as a center piece over what appears to be a living room console. So stunning, in fact, you may not have noticed his Saturn V Rocket over there on the left. Zoom!


Old LEGO magic still has its charms. We revisit Borgin and Burkes and Dumbledore’s office to compare how their buildings, curious objects, and magical creatures have changed across generations of Harry Potter sets.
