Awesome Lego

Building a LEGO Death Star

Building a LEGO Death Star

A wonderfully satisfying stop-motion time-lapse of the construction of the 4,016 piece LEGO Death Star, captured by Bart van Dijk. We love the way he morphed each frame of the build, so the bricks don’t just pop in, and instead emerge smoothly.

Builders from LEGOLAND Florida Resort created this 1:1 scale model of an original 1964-1/2 Ford Mustang. There’s an underlying aluminum chassis, but it’s still incredible. It recently made its debut at the Mustang Club of America’s 40th Anniversary shindig.

LEGO Plane Crash Slo-Mo

LEGO Plane Crash Slo-Mo

The Slo Mo Guys turn their attention to a kind of destruction that isn’t permanent, this time building a jumbo jet out of LEGO then smashing it in front of their high-speed camera. The devastation was impressive, but the only real consequence was picking up all those bricks.

The LEGO Treadmill

The LEGO Treadmill

(PG-13: Language) There are few greater pains than stepping on a LEGO block without shoes on. So to voluntarily run barefoot on top of a seemingly endless flow of the pointy plastic bricks seems completely masochistic. Then again, this video is from the guys who did this.

The LEGO Batman Movie (Trailer 2)

The LEGO Batman Movie (Trailer 2)

If Ben Affleck’s Dark Knight is simply too dark for your tastes, why not go with Will Arnett’s conceited Minifig version instead? In all honesty, this is the Batman movie we’ve been looking forward to since Christopher Nolan got out of the game.
