LEGO has released the designer video for the new LEGO Creator Fiat 500 (10271) which had probably the fastest turnaround from its official announcement to the set release. LEGO designer Pierre Normandin talks about some of the details of the iconic 1965 vehicle including the difficulties of getting the right shape for the car as well as the meaning of the stickers used. As for the Cool Yellow color that LEGO used for the car, Pierre mentioned that it isn’t a color they use that often.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen The Mask, but after seeing this awesome build by Pistash I have to admit I’m thinking of screening it again. This was the role that Jim Carrey was born to play, and I can’t imagine the part with any other actor. Yes, he chews up the scenery, but that was sort of the point wasn’t it? And the over-the-top Tex Avery style cartoony visual effects by ILM were a treat. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

You’ll no doubt be shocked to learn that I haven’t played Mass Effect (I say that about every game, maybe I should game more) but that doesn’t keep me from appreciating a sweet bit of sci-fi weaponry. This state of the art pew pew by Sheo looks like it leapt right off the screen, and is ready to mow down some baddies. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy
