Slashdot Mirror
LoTR:LEGO Originals
kiddailey writes "What do you get when you combine standard Lego bricks with Lord of the Rings? A really cool version of Bag End that would make any LOTR and Lego geek as happy as Smeagol with a stomach full of fisheses. If only I could be so creative... or have so much spare time. Be sure to check out his whole gallery of cool lego builds."
Geeks in space? Methinks the halfling's weed has clouded your mind!
A few weeks ago I stumbled across this great site.
Lego Bible stories! Even for non-religious types, the cool photography and often hilarious captions make for hours of entertainment.
These are mostly Harry Potter bricks.
"Sic Semper Tyrannosaurus Rex."
if you still liked playing with LEGOS and it was a computer case made out of legos by Paul Rea : "I then got the idea to make the entire case out of LEGOS. I had originally intended to make the drives on stilts of LEGOS but that did not work out as well as I had hoped. Over that first month I thought of several concepts and finally decided to build the case you now see in the attached photographs" - this won the mod contest organized by directron.com.
Try here. Too bad HE hasn't built a LOTR set...although I figure some Slashdot reader has the money to commission such a project. Well...maybe not.
Someone should get this guy together with some stop-motion animators. I'd love to see a feature length Legos: LOTR production.
The angel in the oatmeal.
It is pretty useless that when only 5 minutes after a story has been posted, none of the readers can see what the story is about.
Maybe a slashdot.txt file like robots.txt could be used to request that slashdot does/doesn't cache the site before submission.
Well, if I had gotten to the site in time, I would have mirrored it. Ho hum.

These are cool....but this is cooler.
Mordor...a magical, mythical land where women are more rare than dragons--but where every man would rather find a dragon
..the character is too well groomed.
This site appears to be getting Slashdotted, so I'm in the process of mirroring it: http://ragnar.nilmop.com/kenn/www.thereverend.com/ brick_testament/
I metamoderate all Redundant and Offtopic moderations as Unfair.
Right, taking all bets as to how much longer this server will stand up to the /.'ing.
If construction was anything like programming, an incorrectly fitted lock would bring down the entire building...
Lego my Eggo! Erm, wait, wrong product. LEGO my Halfling's Weed!

The following links are a necessity when a lego story is posted on /.

Also check out Brick Tales, which has a lot of the trilogy storyboarded in Legos -- more than just locations.
...can be found here.
I actually prefer this approach, because although some of the character design details aren't as well executed as in the posted article (this guy is using more generic legos), he's going much further overall, re-creating the story with approprately composed and lit photographs. Kick-ass!
Also, the humorous element of using legos is more apparent - the Moria "Watcher in the Water" is one of the funniest single images I saw on the web this year (yeah, I'm a Tolkien geek _and_ a lego geek. Watch out, ladies!)
BTW, this is part of a larger collection of fun lego pages, here's the main directory.
Hey, is it just me, or have Lego's gotten ever so 'gimmickey'.
I remember when I was a kid, getting a non cubic shaped lego out of the box was one of the biggest joys of my life.
Now all I see is parrots and sharks with only one 'lego hole' to attach them with. It takes away from all the interoperability of it...
Oh well... that's just a trend these days I guess.
What happened to this fab model?

"Outlook not so good." That magic 8-ball knows everything! I'll ask about Exchange Server next.
hey, I've never been slash dotted before, I didn't even know this place existed! Anyways, just to clear up a few misperceptions, Lego does not make any type of tolkien related product. These are recombinations from existing parts from almost every Lego theme, from town to space to pirate etc. So the commercialisation of Tolkiens world does not include lego bricks (they are currently cramming harry potter down peoples throats!) Also, for those of you who feel that maybe this generation of fans is in someway inferior to those who grew up watching those abominable 1970's cartoon specials on TV, you are correct, I grew up watching those things, and boy can I say they built character! Something a casual movie watcher will be sorely lacking! If you are wondering about my loyalty to book over movie, you'll notice that there are almost more creations from The Two Towers (which will be released later this year)my favorite two books in the Novel! thanks for all of the web hits, and comments! - "Nerd of the Rings"
"This, people, is why computer geeks get laughed at."
because someone does what they enjoy, or that you'll waste 5 minutes of your life pointing out how you think its wrong, even though it won't change anything?
