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.

Jamie Beard's talk on Stressing The Elements looks in detail at how Lego bricks are meant (and not meant) to fit together.

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's new Architecture Studio set (#21050) looks like a lot of fun. You can download a 400 MB PDF of the instruction booklet to see what you'll be getting into.

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.

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.

The first of a series of excellent Lego-related links - a study of the price of Lego bricks over time.

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.

This recreation of Japan in a mere 1,800,800 Lego bricks is pretty impressive. With 5000 builders, that's only 360 bricks each. With a relative scale, most of these buildings would be in space.

Reminds me (in scale, if nothing else) of the Lego house from the BBC's Toy Story series.

This custom Lego creation a simply amazing - more than 80,000 bricks to re-create the 1884 Chicago Home Insurance Building, the world's first skyscraper.

escher in lego

i was looking for the lego version of 2001 from awhile back, but came across this version which is both a 2001 parody in lego, and a commentary on the evolution of lego itself.

this spiderman 2 in lego movie is fucking awesome - must have taken aaaaaages to make.
