Lego Ben 10 Models Harness the Best of Bionicle

The other day my four-year-old son and I put together one of the Ben 10 Alien Force models from Lego, a Big Chill the company sent me to review.
The first thing I noticed was how few pieces came in the box — 20, which is pretty low for a Lego model. This is because the [...] [...]

LEGO Toy Story Green Army Men

I may never understand why LEGO didn’t make it into the first two Toy Story movies, but they will definitely have a part in the 3rd one. What appears to be a geeky match made in heaven, LEGO Set 7595 merges three awesome toys into one great product.
There are no real surprises in Army Men [...] [...]

Go Lego Racer Go

Christmas 2009 brought a good haul of LEGO, including another entry in the LEGO gaming range: Race 3000.
Race 3000 allows you to build a LEGO Grand Prix track and to race around it with up to 4 players, overtaking, switching lanes, avoiding oil slicks and taking shortcuts. There’s even a little LEGO podium for the [...] [...]

Always a good day where bedtime stories are abandoned in favor of a careful perusal of what new sets the catalogue has to offer, and what new sets [...] [...]

The One Time When Bricking Your iPhone Is A Good Thing

There’s a great little app that’s just made its way to the iTunes store. It’s called LEGO Photo (links to iTunes), and it allows you to take any photo from your camera lens or your existing library and turn the pixels into LEGO bricks. It’s simple to use – just take or pick out a [...] [...]

Happy Birthday, Sir Isaac Newton!

Today is Sir Isaac Newton’s birthday, as you know if you’ve been on Google’s homepage. In addition to laying out the Laws of Motion, he also did innovative work on the properties of light, as can be seen in this Lego re-enactment. I’ll be reviewing a new kids’ book about Newton — who was quite [...] [...]

Lego Imperial Flagship Crushes All Enemies

Oh, hecks yes! I thought last year’s Brickbeard’s Bounty was awesome but this beast ups the ante — bigger and even more detailed — though less piratical.
All hands on deck! This amazingly detailed and realistic historical ship has three removable sections. The main hull contains 4 firing cannons, ammunition crates, muskets, torches, cannonballs, a prison [...] [...]
