TT Games, producer for many lego games, is creating a version of Lego Pirates for the 3DS. A producer for TT Games mentioned that the 3DS is just as powerful is a Wii system, and does some things better. That is why the 3DS game will have all the features that the Wii game will. Including highlighting of collectibles and minigames that can unlock special costumes and characters. The game is set to release in May.

Lego Creationary

LEGO just came out with a new application for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. In LEGO Creationary, you first roll the dice to determine your category. There are 6 categories, Nature, Vehicles, Things, Random, Buildings, and Random (Double Points). You then see a LEGO creation being built piece by piece. You have four choices to guess what they are building. The quicker you get it, the more points you earn, and the best part is, the app is FREE!!! It will definitely be a surefire hit.

22 foot long replica model of USS Intrepid

Ed Demint just recently finished a 22 foot long replica model of the USS Intrepid. It is the largest LEGO ship ever built. It took over 600 hours and 250,000 lego bricks to complete it. Demint priced it around 21,000 USD. He said "In the past I've made the HMS Edinburgh, which was nine or ten feet long, and the HMS Hood, at 20 feet long. But this is the largest ship I've ever attempted. It's been a huge project and I was very relieved and excited to finally finish it."
