Ad agency Geometry Global’s Hong Kong branch put together this series of classic artworks recreated using LEGO blocks. We had no idea that you could get bricks in so many subtle shades. We suspect they fudged things a bit.

This intricate, pneumatic-powered LEGO Technic model built by Huib van der Hart replicates the inner workings of a V-8 engine – and is nearly as loud as one – so you might want to turn your speakers down for this one.

This collectable LEGO kit from a few years back sells for about $500 these days, but given the fact that it actually walks, and is big enough to hold a crew of minifigs, it’s well worth it. Though it probably wouldn’t do so well on Hoth.

Every movie has its share of bloopers, but the folks behind the The LEGO Movie took the time to present their outtakes in LEGO. Watch the cast and crew laugh about botched deliveries, ad-libs and Will Arnett’s age.
