If you’ve been looking to upgrade your LEGO collection with a handsome young gent to visit that “Grandma’s House” set you built, you’re in luck. LEGO has recently launched the new Minifigure Series 7 featuring 16 new designs —including “Grandma Visitor” — yaye! There’s plenty more, from the frightful to the straight up nerdly (shocker). […]


In tribute to a “band that no longer is”, someone took the time to create a shot-by-shot recreation of LCD Soundsystem’s “All My Friends” video… done completely with LEGO figures.

Veteran Lego builder creates functional engine with 2,500+ parts

Some boys just never grow up. Just ask Dutchman Barry Bosman, an avid Lego builder who recently built a fully functional V8 engine from 2,817 individual parts. CAD software was used in the design process and completion required LEGOs from specialty retailers.
