Metal Gear Solid's Rex & Ray in Lego Blocks

Posted by michael on from the attention-universe:-I-have-too-much-time-on-my-hands dept.

IllogicalStudent writes "Justin "Saber-Scorpion" Stebbins has created lego models based on themes from Metal Gear: Solid, Metal Gear: Solid 2, Star Wars, Halo, Lord of the Rings, Mechwarrior, and others. His work with the Metal Gear: Solid series, especially, have gained him recognition from Hideo Kojima himself."

    It is too bad that LEGO decided to stop making licensed series because MGS would have made an awesome set. I'm not a big fan of paying $200 for the KUBRICK MGS set... Grrrr...

  2. lego has gone down in quality by freerecords · · Score: 1, Interesting

    the figures are amazing but i'm so sad to ssee what has happened to lego in the lsat few years - i remember hwen i was a kid you had to build everything now everything comes built for you!!! you get a lego boat pack and you just fix together one side of the boat and the other and voila.. its no fair.. i love what this guy has done tho and his creativity he should make big size models of LOTR stuff! cool!

  3. I feel old by Jad+LaFields · · Score: 4, Interesting

    From the Mechwarrior page:

    "The Timber Wolf is based off an old game I have called Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries"

    and when I click on my beloved Timber Wolf, he says:

    " I based my LEGO Timberwolf off an image taken from Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries, and old game that came with my oldest computer when I bought it."

    Ouch.

    Man, I can remember when Mechwarrior 2 was the reigning champ and Mercenaries was the new kid on the block that my friends and I were unsure whether we liked it as much ...

    Oh yeah, and those Lego 'mechs aren't that impressive.
