Yeah, it’s just that again, a Boston Dynamics Spot pulling Mythbuster Adam Savage in his custom made rickshaw. If I had a dollar for every time I’ve seen this, I could afford a scratcher. Builder and mechanical genius JK Brickworks is back with a wondrous creation inspired by a recent video from Tested.com. Check the video out and confirm for yourself this is a wonderful time to be alive. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

The LEGO Fairground Minifigure Accessory Set (40373) is now available for purchase on LEGO Shop@Home. There was an issue with S@H not launching it alongside the rest of the March 2020 sets and it was delayed for a short time. The set consists of 51 pieces and retails for $12.99 and it features two fairground employees, a girl, and dad. It is a perfect complementary set to the Fairground subtheme if you’ve been building those sets.

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

Jens Nygaard Knudsen passed away. You may not recognize his name, but if you’re reading this blog you know his work. Jens was initially a designer at LEGO and quickly became Chief Designer from 1968 until 2000.  He designed early town sets and was Mr. Space having his hand in the Space lines from the Classic era up to M-Tron and what started as Sea-Tron which later became Aquanauts. Also he is credited with inventing the Minifigure! Mark Stafford posted his article (Brick Journal #6 2009) we he talks to Jens and Designer Niels Milan Pedersen on his flickr stream in memory (page 1, page 2, & page 3). The article has many pictures of concept models that Jens and Niels created. Mark will be forwarding comments on the flickr pages to Jens family and has started #NygaardMemorialFleet for anyone who wants to build a memorial spaceship. Image from Mark Stafford’s...
