When you need a wand, there’s only one place to go – Ollivander’s. Lord Voldemort visits the shop in Diagon Alley to learn the location of the Elder Wand. He soon learns he’s not he only wizard in the neighborhood. Gandalf visits Harry Potter-world to set the Dark Lord straight.
Watch the clever video after the break.
The 2006 Casino Royale is a fine specimen of a James Bond film. It’s my favorite. If you like Bond and Lego, this video is made just for you. Builder Duncan McConchie took the opening of the film and spent about two to three months filming a re-creation in Lego, and it’s awesome. I didn’t know super spy action could look impressive in brick form, but it does.
Watch and enjoy after the break.
This is a LEGO Rainbow R2 made by MonsterBrick, who also builds and shows off his LEGO creations at Legoland.
I have no words.
Actually, I have a few. OMGSOCUTEIWANTONERIGHTNAO.
Oh and, he did a Cthulhu variant…
Get ready to open your wallets and throw all your money at Lego because they’re releasing a series of Steampunk sets this July. The images of these sets appeared in the back of the most recent issue of Lego Club Magazine and include things like steam-engine cars, paddle boats, high-rise buildings and airships. No word on pricing just yet, but does it really matter? You know you’re going to buy them anyway.

The Empire can finally strike fear in the hearts of Rebels everywhere with this AT-AT Walker that’s also a Volkswagen bus. I’d love to see these crossing the battlefield on Hoth (on its way to a Phish concert perhaps). The fantastic design by Craig Callum is creative and fun. It’s not surprising considering he works for LEGO as a Design Lead.

Lord of the Rings is full of large scale battles, and that makes perfect fodder for people who like to build Lego dioramas. The Battle of Helm’s Deep is a popular one to attack and even though we’ve seen it re-created in video, we haven’t seen it like this. Builder GOEL KIM has constructed the battle in his garage, and it’s massive. It already has 1,700 minifigs and it’s only 90% done. That’s a whole lot of orcs and elves, and I like to think they come to life at night just like in Toy Story.

As long as the world keeps spinning, people will keep doing awesome things with Lego bricks. Those little toys go a long way; heck, Lego is a subculture. That’s proven by the insane amount of builds and videos that hit the internet in a day. We’ve got three worthwhile videos full of the toys to share with you.
First, there’s a sneak peek at the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes video game. It’s short but it looks freaking fantastic. Staying in the Marvel universe, the next video is a fan made stop motion Lego version of an Iron Man 3 trailer. Tony Stark is badass even as a blocky minifig. Finally, for something completely different, a fan has imagined Breaking Bad as a Lego video game. The sets might be the best part.
Check out all the Lego goodness after the break.
Dedication is spending time and money to work on the same Lego project over three years. The talented Moko constructed an almost 4 foot tall model of a Neon Genesis Evangelion mecha that moves and everything – despite it’s 20 pounds of weight. Yeah, it’s insane.
The part that really gets me – besides the fact the mech is fully articulated – is how it doesn’t really look like it’s made from Lego. It just looks like an awesome plastic toy; I didn’t know you could do that.
