AFOL and expert builder chiukeung is famously known for his recent Apple II build, but his rendition of the classic Nintendo Entertainment System console — right down to the controllers, “Zapper” shooter and, yes, playing cartridges should get kudos as well.
Got a new set of flat files that required one more reset of the Lego room. 🙂
Designed by pekko (http://lego.cuusoo.com/profile/Pekko), the Mini Shop series is a wonderfully-executed sub-theme for LEGO City, based on real brands (Starbucks, Apple, 7-Eleven and McDonald’s are seen above) and built on 8×16 baseplates. The insides feature awesome details, like stocked shelves and branded coffee cups (the use of 1×1 cones here is particularly clever). The project already has more than 8,750 supporters — and with 1,250 more LEGO will begin to consider it. Click through on the picture for more details!
Fun, free — but make sure to check with your local TRU before heading over! That’s because not all stores will participate in this build event. Click on the photo to find more info at Lego’s official Facebook page.
Lego sent along this neat Valentine’s Day gift to members in its VIP program. Makes you just love the company even more.
It suddenly hit me why I bought all those Lego X-Pods back in the mid-2000’s: it’s because I thought the saucer parts would make for great primary hulls on Constitution-class ships from Star Trek.
It’s taken me this long to put together a version of the Enterprise, seen in the motion pictures; there’s about 50 pieces in this bad boy.
BTW, that’s the cleanest you’ll ever see my build tables. 🙂
