    Legos? What's a Legos?

  2. Dear Lego, please bring back Classic Space by sootman · · Score: 1 · on NASA Teams With LEGO To Offer Model Competition

    Maybe this will inspire Lego to bring back a line like the old Classic Space series. The space sets they make are fine, but I wish they'd bring back a "pure" space series: no aliens to fight, no giant space bugs, no space police and villains -- just exploration, discovery, and settling. For a nice example of how to update the line, check this out.

  3. LEGO realistic space fight vehicles by Mozai · · Score: 3, Informative · on Aircraft Carriers In Space

    It's tangentially relevant, but this is "news for nerds": there was a contest for building realistic space fighters. The winners were clearly function over form, which was nice to see. (Space Volvos?)

    That wouldn't really surprise me (unfortunately that link doesn't name a price... I tried to find one that does and I couldn't, probably because it depends on so many factors).

    Do you have a disability of the hands? Are you extremely weak? I have seen 3 and 4 years that are able to take Lego blocks apart without issue...the only time I have seen that there is a problem is if it is a small plate attached to a small plate... The form factor making only the intended toy? http://www.brothers-brick.com/ take a look at what people do with this limited form factor bricks...

  6. Lego Wall-E by writerjosh · · Score: 1 · on Wall-E Supervising Animator Tells His Story

    I love the fact that animator Angus MacLane made a WALL-E out of Legos: http://www.brothers-brick.com/2008/06/26/pixar-animator-angus-maclane-builds-best-lego-wall-e-yet-interview/

    I love that kind of thing. It shows real talent and eye for visuals.

    And here's a Lego Chewbacca just because it's cool: http://lh5.ggpht.com/_33vZjjp9fSQ/RxNKJoOXsWI/AAAAAAAAAY4/owLpXw1jxPU/033.JPG
