Wearable LEGO Master Chief Helmet

Ben Caulkins (aka Benny Brickster) just finished a Wearable Lego helmet. Mr. Brickster says he will never tell how to build the Helmet. He wants to keep it to himself so he can build full size Halo armor from Legos in the near future.

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."

Lego Wii controller

Lego has just made a clash with Nintendo. At Toy's R Us you can get the latest wii remote controller. On the face of the controller you can entirely change the look. You can attach any of your lego pieces to the front of it. Although it may not have much space, you can still build off from the side.

The first LEGO League event occurred in Brooklyn last Saturday. The object of the event was to move lego bricks from one place to another to earn points. The contest is based on real life situations, such as attaching casts and opening a blood stream. The winner will be going to the finals at the Javits Center next year. Here are some pics from the competition.

Lego Universe

I think that LEGO might be taking everything too far. You've got lego usb drives, lego salt and pepper shakers, lego bookbags and lunchboxes, etc. But, I think that the new MMOG (Massively-multiplayer online game) fits quite well with "regular" legos. Here are a few screenshots of the new game.

Weapons Store

This is the lego weapons store I built. I had quite a few weapons that I put in it.
