LEGO Community Fads: Stay In Your MacLane!

July 22, 2022/ Simon Liu

Have you ever noticed lots of LEGO builders creating similar things all inspired by a brilliant concept? Well, there is a good chance that Angus MacLane (Pixar director and super AFOL) was the unwitting mastermind behind a few of those fads!

WALL•E

January 17, 2014/ Tommy

There have been quite a few renditions of WALL•E in LEGO, many by some of my favorite builders. I think it's a testament to the excellent design and endearing qualities of a perfectly designed Pixar character. This version by Legonardo Davidy is pretty amazing, especially the SNOT work on his chest. Factor in that it was done in eight hours and, well, that's just stunning.

WALL-E and EVE

January 12, 2014/ Tommy

WALL-E is one of my favorite Pixar movies. Not only does it have a charming story with lovable characters and laughs as well as tugs on the heart strings. But one of the things I love the most about it was it was different and risky. And while I can't say this MOC by Legohaulic is risky, it has everything else going for it that the movie does, it's awesome.
