I don't think I'll ever actually get around to doing it, but I would love to set up an MILS-based Lego modular diorama.

I missed it at the time, but Nick Quaranto updated my 2011 Lego Carcassone post with a 5x5 version, back in 2014. Unfortunately the post now 404s, but the wayback machine has a copy.

This is a genius idea - using a 3D printer to make giant versions of classic Lego sets.

It probably seems that about 50% of then things I think about are Lego related, but it's probably closer to about 40%. That being said, Pleygo looks amazing.

Netflix-style Lego rental. Why aren't there more subscription rental services?

Lego-releated post number 3 in a series. Making great ball contraptions is a pretty common Lego thing now, but this 17-module creation is a king among princes.

Gizmodo has some notes - this thing is amazing.

200,000 piece Lego city

Lego post number 2, in a series. This amazing sci-fi city build in Lego is made of over 200,000 pieces and has an incredible amount of detail. I wish I had this many bricks to play with.

Does anyone know anything more about the amazing Lego Christmas tree at the Trafford Centre in Manchester. I've only come across a single tweet, saying it was made of 350,000 bricks. Pretty impressive.
