Awesome Lego

8-Bit Trip is a music video by Swedish band Rymdreglage made entirely out of LEGO bricks and filmed in stop motion; it pays homage to Pong, Pac-Man, Mario Bros and more.

LEGO’s Motorized AT-AT stands a foot tall and also walks while moving its head up and down; it’s got four minifigs including Luke Skywalker on a grappling line. Thanks, Thorir!

Jon Palmer isn’t the first to attempt LEGO ABC Spaceships, but we’re really liking his progress thus far: he’s up to the letter “H” but is already wowing us with his attention to detali.

Give the gift that keeps on devouring: Man-Eating Pits are LEGO sets that include your choice of feeding and food escape system, 16-page guidebook, and theme pack. Thanks, Jake!

We like Ryan Fitzgerald’s approach to making his Lego Love tee: throw bricks and minifigs on a screen and burn the image; each order includes actual Legos used in the screen.

Woody, Buzz and the gang are set to become toys of a slightly brickier persuasion: LEGO will be releasing minifigs for Toy Story, Cars and other Disney franchises in January 2010.

Starting 7/31 at noon EST, Mega Bloks will make available 10k limited edition 1.75″ Halo Wars Steel Spartans; the real draw: 100 randomly inserted, ultra-rare Active Camo Spartans.

Intricately detailed, Ernesto Carrillo’s Lego Star Wars Dioramas pull back the curtain on the inner workings of the Imperial war machine, from a droid-run ER to an AT-ST factory floor.

It was doomed from the start, but few vessels contributed to the Rebellion as much as Tantive IV: LEGO will be releasing a 1,408 piece model 9/9/09 with 5 minifigs and 2 escape pods.

We’ve seen plenty of custom LEGO sets, but Ochre Jelly’s Tour de Force was created with action in mind with lightsaber trails, leaping Yodas and beautifully dismembered Droids.

Like a hamster ball but with a Lego Mindstorms NXT inside, Nils Volker’s Spherical Robot is an exercise in gyroscopic driving: it moves by simply rotating its internal mass.

It’s not as epic as the Death Star, but the new Lego Battle of Endor set is a quarter of the price with major star power: you’ll get Han, Leia, Chewie, R2-D2, speeder bikes and an AT-ST.

Two of geekdom’s greatest loves unite in Michael Hickox’s Lego Arcade, a stop motion video using Lego pieces to recreate classic arcade games and set to the original sound effects.

LEGO’s Robo Attack is a brilliant sci-fi/adventure movie mashup: a giant piloted robot which can split in two, flame-thrower arms, hapless civilians and a harpoon-equipped bike.

It’ll be another century before we seeing anything like this in real earth orbit, but this fantastically detailed LEGO Solaris 8 Space Station has us dreaming of sweet zero-g adventures.

LEGO’s Architecture Series site still says “coming soon”, but they’ve signed up with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation for six buildings including Falling Water and the Guggenheim.

28-year old guitarist Dave Chatterson’s LEGO replica of a Fender Princeton Reverb amp looks good enough to play; it’s heavily detailed down to the tube chart, switches and knobs.

These Lego-shaped USB Hubs are actually a good business idea, as they’re just begging to be combined with other bricks; hopefully they’ll be brought over from Korea soon.

This Maniac t-shirt shows that even Legoland has its deviants; Jason never was the same after someone switched his head, but thankfully it’s relatively easy to reassemble his victims.

This video may look like a simple Lego movie, but all movement–from the ships to the stage–is actually controlled by a Mindstorms NXT kit; skip to 2:35 to look behind the scenes.

Made with Lego Mindstorms NXT and hung from three pulleys, Nils Volker’s Drawing Robot is more artistic than technical: it tracks visitor’s eye movements to create dot paintings.

Celebrate 10 years of collaboration between LEGO and Star Wars: any order placed at LEGOshop.com on 5/3 and 5/4 will get a free, limited edition poster with 160 minifigures.

Now available for preorder: LEGO Star Wars: The Visual Dictionary is filled with hundreds of photos of minifigs, spaceships, weapons, and even that drool-inducing Death Star.
