When we discussed the new LEGO sets and promotions for the month (see: September 2018 – New LEGO Sets & Promotions), I mentioned that the LEGO Advent Calendars are now available. While it’s a bit premature to talk about Christmas, it’s nice to have early access to the LEGO holiday sets before the shopping season […]Original linkOriginal author: admin

I’ve made no secret of the fact that Captain Marvel is my favorite superhero (and I’m still annoyed that Vans didn’t make her shoes in my size), so it should go without saying that...[[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]Original link

We see lots of impressive LEGO castles, often huge models festooned with towers and crenellations. Detailed medieval interiors prove a little less common, but here is an excellent example from O Wingård, and one which shows you don’t have to build big to build good. Although not put together with complex building techniques, this scene is packed full of detail — a hallmark of the best LEGO creations. The walls use a good selection of different brick types to add realistic texture to the backdrop. There’s a fine assortment of armour and weaponry on display, and the ceiling beams are nicely done. However, the highlight for me is the brick-built door with silver “tooth plates” providing hinges — nothing particularly complex in its construction, but a perfectly proportioned portal all the same.

It took almost three decades, but I’d equate the evolution of a talking assistants like K.I.T.T (short for Knight Industries Two Thousand, from the 1980’s TV show Knight Rider) to what we have today with Apple’s Siri, Microsoft’s Cortana, and other voice-activated systems, although these modern systems are still much less capable than K.I.T.T in many ways. This version of K.I.T.T by thewdarren is quite spectacular not only in size, but in all the details built with the LEGO Technic system. K.I.T.T includes a fully built-in engine that looks like the Pontiac Trans Am engine that the car was modelled after. The signature roving lights that made many motorheads mod their vehicles in the 80’s and 90’s are represented by 1×2 Translucent Orange tiles. With the headlights, doors, and interior finishings all decked out, what’s not to love about this talking car? We’ll leave you with a few more great poses...

A man built a thing. He had a name, in those long-before times when salmon ran in the streams like silver clouds in the moonlight and people went about their business in great cities gleaming with glass as yet unmelted by fires from the sky. His name was Patrick B. The thing he built was built from bricks and told a story. A story about a man and his child a boy. That story was first told by a man named Cormac McCarthy in a book called The Road. A book is a thing made of trees but you cant eat it like you can bark and leaves and the little stems that try to push their way toward the darkened sky at the end of the months of snow. This thing this story these bricks by the man Patrick show the man and the boy as they walk long miles...
