Saturday Lego madness

Here is a photo of the Lego Kid’s room after a Saturday Lego fest.   The Lego Kid was in rare form on this day breaking out many different sets and creating some cool new stuff.  Boy was this a nightmare to clean up. 

Lego Kid’s new Ninja Hideout

The Lego Kid was busy building a new training facility and secret hideout for ninja's.  This has some cool training equipment and a secret door into the hideout. 

Here is a view of the entire training grounds and hideout.

The TaunTaun is just a pet but they do use him to train by racing him.

 

 

Here is a view of the hideout. It has some cool secret traps and defenses.

 

 

Here we have some training going on.  These mechanical devices help Lego Ninjas hone their skills.

 

 

 

Here is the critter pit.  Ninjas must dodge and defend against spiders, snakes, and rats.

Lego earthquake

Lego’s can be used to make lots of things. Cars, planes, buildings.   People even use Lego's to make movies. That’s nothing new.  I’ve seen all kinds of Lego movies. This is a first, it’s almost like a public service announcement.  This is a video depicting what can happen during an earthquake and what you should do.

Entertaining and educational.  This is great and it was made by a kid so it has a pretty cool feel to it.

The Lego Kid Gets Spoiled

Well The Lego Kid had a visit from Lego Grandma yesterday.  He managed to talk her into a new lego set.  That’s nothing new but usually it’s one of the smaller $5-$10 sets.  The Lego Kid really turned on the charm and talked her into one of the new Prince of Persia sets.

He got set 7571, the fight for the dagger. This set comes with several minifigures including Dastan and Princess Tamina. 

 

 

 

There are a couple of traps built into the market tower which you pull a pin to drop the minifigure off of the balcony, or drop the floor out. Pretty cool.

Lego Pinball

How cool is this. A pinball machine made out of Lego’s.  Built by Mark Gryn for the Science Rendezvous at the University of Windsor, the table is made of more than 8000 bricks. Everyday I am amazed by what I see people making out of these colorful plastic bricks.

Lego Kid Creations -The bounty hunters

For a few weeks now me and The Lego Kid have been making our own Star Wars bounty hunters.  They have various small ships and speeders to fly around on.  Each one has it’s own set of tools to get the job done.  Here are the latest.

This little guy is pretty much a good bounty hunter. He tracks down escaped prisoners and usually works for the Space Police. While his speeder is small it is light and easy to fly. This helps him get into the back alleys of the underworld to catch the bad guys.

 

Our next bounty hunter is also a good guy.  He used to be a Space Police agent and now works for them on the tougher cases.  He has a fast speeder that is loaded with some missiles to help blast his way out of a bad situation.

 

 

 

 

This guy is a real mystery.  He is part Jedi, part Sith, and a bounty hunter who works for whoever pays the most. He has a police speeder which he may or may not have stolen. Nobody actually knows where he comes from and you can only find him if he wants to be found.

 

 

 

 

 

This bounty hunter is all bad.  He works for bad guys collecting their debts and chasing down bad guys who stole from bad guys. He is the worst of the worst.  His speeder is loaded with missiles and extra blaster making him a one man army.

 

 

Here we have a former Clone Trooper that escaped from the Empire and is now a bounty hunter. He only works in far off systems to avoid being caught by the Empire and put in jail. His missions are usually not very dangerous, usually collecting on unpaid parking tickets and people with un-registered wamp rats as pets.

 

 

Out last bounty hunter is really more of a pirate than a bounty hunter. While he does do work collecting bounties he spends a lot of time just taking over ships.  He likes a good old fashioned sword fight but isn’t afraid to take a ship down with a plasma grenade.

Lego Universe on the Horizon

You  also get a free 30 day trial.  Pricing for the monthly subscription can be found on the Lego Universe site.

 

Lego Guitar

Here is something cool I found while surfing the web looking for cool guitars.  This one could have been posted on either of my blogs since I am also a guitarist and have a guitar blog.  I’ll go ahead and leave this here since The Lego Kid thinks it’s so cool.

Buzz into spring

Well it’s spring and I thought I would check out some other creations by fellow Lego fans.  Over at the MOCpages I found a couple of cool Lego bees that fit right in with spring.

This little buzzing brick creation by Tina Urso has found himself a flower to keep him buzzy, I mean busy.

 

 

 

Oscar Verbeek’s bee looks like it could be right out of A bugs life.  The smile on his face tells me that this bee won’t sting.

 

 

  This happy little bug has some big eyes. Thanks to Chris Trosclair for this creative take on natures busiest bug.
