A miniature record store made entirely of LEGO bricks by Ryan Howerter (AKA eldeeem). This is so damned adorable it’s adorable.

The blue milk crate at the bottom is a nice touch.

Something you don’t see every day: An awesomely creative woman makes a prosthetic leg for herself out of LEGO pieces!

Uploader AmputeeOT writes a friendly warning to anyone considering doing this:

Someone in my research lab jokingly suggested I make a prosthetic leg out of legos.

Please don’t do this yourself, I don’t want you to fall and get hurt!

Sometimes, you just need to be silly.

 
With thanks to Kip Silverman!

 
Love Lego? Love horror films?

Then you’ll probably love this stop-motion, Lego version of Dario Argento’s Tenebre.

Often considered the “finest film that Argento has ever made,” Tenebre (or Tenebrae) was (surprisingly) branded a “Video Nasty” upon its initial release in the U.K. In America the film it had a delayed release and was eventually allowed to escape in a badly cut version as Unsane.

Tenebre/Tenebrae proved to be a highly influential film and contains many of Argento’s signature themes and visual set-pieces. Thankfully, it was restored to its proper g(l)ory in the late-1990s and has since been re-evaluated by Tim Lucas at Video Watchdog, and Ed Gonzalez at Slant, who described Argento’s masterpiece as “a riveting defense of auteur theory, ripe with self-reflexive discourse and various moral conflicts. It’s both a riveting horror film and an architect’s worst nightmare.”
 

 
You kinda have to appreciate this life-size LEGO facehugger by artist Carlos Valero aka AL13N163NA.

This is a jolly little film on the opening of the first Legoland Park, Billund, Denmark, in June 1968.

More than 50million people have visited Legoland since its opening, and 1.9m people visited the park in 2011, making it the most popular tourist attraction outside Copenhagen, in Denmark.

Meet Junior, the newest member of my Folklore, Myth, and Superstition series. Don’t let his genial disposition fool you, he’s quite the little hellraiser.

I want this demon baby.

The original LEGO patent for a “Toy Building Brick” was filed by Godtfried Kirk Christiansen on July 28th, 1958, and registered October 24th, 1961, as Patent No. 3,005,282. O, what joy this simple diagram has inspired.

This all LEGO stop-motion version of Dr. Strangelove by YouTuber XXxOPRIMExXX  is really, really well done.

According to the description, these videos were first uploaded to YouTube back in 2010, but were removed pretty much right away due to copyright issues. WTF?

So here it is again in all its glory. Watch ‘em both while you still can.

Kiddies, I wouldn’t try making this LEGO bowl at home. Smoking out of plastic and aluminum doesn’t seem too smart. Fun idea. Dangerous execution.
