RE: LEGO - Karo - May 14th, 2021

If anyone interested in the history of LEGO check out Netflix's series The Toy That Made Us it talk about the past before the lego brick its successes and failure and I found it neat.

I am ashamed I never knew someone made an actual life sized house out of LEGO, or saw that clip before either.

That honestly sounds like something I'd be interested in Smile

. In fact, I might get another month of Netflix fairly soon so that I can see it Tongue

.

Thanks for the recommendation!

I always forget the Lego Ideas website exists, and I'm happy I was reminded about it just now because I came across this really cool Naruto idea: Naruto: Ichiraku Ramen Shop - 20th Anniversary

I also forgot I wanted to share this video a couple of weeks ago:

It's animated via computer, so it isn't made with real Lego, but I still thought it was pretty cool! Grin

RE: LEGO - ShiraNoMai - May 25th, 2021

Oh wow that Naruto Idea set is SO cool Wow

So very intricate and detailed, and the characters are so cute! Very inspired and well thought out.

RE: LEGO - Mr EliteL - May 25th, 2021

I thought the Ichiraku Ramen Shop was just going to be the front where the customers sit and Ayame/Teuchi serve with Naruto and maybe someone else, but it's the whole shop with their living area, outside, more characters plus a freaking stall too for the idea! Grin

I kinda want it.

The Crash LEGO parody's good. Like how they made the enemy crumble into pieces when Crash attacked it.

RE: LEGO - Moonface - Aug 22nd, 2021

I just saw this posted onto the Lego Twitter and this is sick!

RE: LEGO - Kyng - Aug 22nd, 2021

Wow, that's very impressive :O !

I always liked to build Hogwarts-style castles, but they were nowhere near as good as that. (I think one of them had moving staircases, but they weren't motorised or anything, and they kept falling apart Tongue

)

RE: LEGO - Mr EliteL - Aug 24th, 2021

Dang that's amazing. Was there that much portraits and such on the walls though, because everything is filled with so much to look at and it's only half or so of the area to get a good look in. If so, that's insane detail.

RE: LEGO - ShiraNoMai - Aug 25th, 2021

I thought the portraits fucking moved when I watched the video originally but Moony pointed out that they're just transparent/reflective so it appears like there's things moving but it's just the reflection from the camera moving causing it. Sad

It's not the best image I could find, but it looks like the movies had a lot of portraits on the walls:

Just saw this on my YouTube feed and although I don't know if I'd get one, it's incredibly cool seeing how much detail managed to get packed into this thing. Grin

Nice

Not something I'd buy myself (since I'm not massively interested in Nintendo), but I'm impressed with the detail, and how they've managed to pack it all in. I think I prefer it over the NES set, in fact Tongue

Since I just got Netflix, I decided to give this a go - and I too found it rather neat.

I will admit, I cringed a bit at the mentions of 'Jack Stone' and 'Galidor' - but that wasn't the fault of the programme (it was Lego's fault for doing such cringeworthy things Tongue

). Fortunately, they seem to have found their way again since then!

@Kyng: Have you ever seen this channel on YouTube? - https://www.youtube.com/c/BrickExperimentChannel/videos

I don't know how but that channel popped into my front page feed just now, and specifically fed me this video:

It's a little painful seeing what the Lego is going through (the parts where you see the beam carving into the Lego that's holding it in place made me wince) but it's impressive how much strength the stuff can have. They have another where they break a steel axle too, but if no one here is into seeing things break apart the channel has lots of other cool experiments they did using just Lego.
