I’m going to let you in on a secret… I don’t like writing articles like this. I love video games, but the video game industry makes that a really hard love to hold on to. There had...[[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]Original link

Since yesterday’s post on Target streetdating the 75280 501st Legion Clone Troopers set on their site, I thought I’d mosey on over to Amazon and see if they had any listings or anything...[[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]Original link

Bionicle Day, 8/10 (810nicle), is behind us, and we’re catching up by celebrating some builds that incorporate the popular buildable figure elements from LEGO’s past. Blake Foster found inspiration to use Bionicle elements such as Macku‘s helmet and Hero Factory feet (ball and socket configuration) for the side of the hull. The standard blue LEGO Classic Space hue is an obvious homage to the 1986 LEGO Cosmic Fleet Voyager. Just don’t expect to see Benny fit into this space fighter, because it is micro-scale. After some quick research on novae, I get why Blake Foster named it “Nova Class.” It is akin to nova, the astronomical event where new stars form and explode, shining bright and slowly fading, just as Blake described how the build constantly came apart during its construction. For now, bask in its glow. The post The stars align for a classic space nova appeared first on The...

If you are from Europe and between 30 to 50 years old then this LEGO creation must be instantly recognisable for you. I am talking about Rickard Stensby’s Mr. Owl from the Daily Fable (Fabeltjeskrant in the original Dutch). Every day the wise owl would read from his local newspaper while perched up in his tree. He would tell the kids wonderful stories about the events taking place in Fableland, and especially the mishaps, quarrels, experiences and emotions of its furry and feathered animal inhabitants. Fablernas managed to capture the essence of Mr. Owl perfectly with his wise but gentle facial expression and his noble composure. The plumage is especially well done and resembles the source material perfectly. The original puppets were made from fabric. Also check out another LEGO owl we featured yesterday, though of the more wild variety. The post It’s time for your Daily Fable appeared first on...

As a response to the new methods of remote work and learning that many of us are experiencing from the global pandemic, CDW-G, Intel Corporation, and the LEGO Foundation are collaborating with the nonprofit organization First Book to start the Creating Learning Connections Grant (CLC). The grant will fund new learning methods for several thousand students and families in Title I schools in the United States impacted by the pandemic. LEGO says the students will receive critical at-home and in–the-classroom learning resources, including internet connectivity, technology devices, and hands-on STEAM learning solutions. Based on a recent survey data from First Book, 40% of children in the United States do not have reliable internet and almost as many are without access to functioning devices. The closure of schools in March exacerbated the digital divide, which was an existing issue in education. 45 school districts across the U.S. have been selected to receive...
