I don’t really know what to say… It is a truly magnificant piece of lego engineering. The Lego Terminator is apparently part of a project to build movie themed lego constructs. The best part about it is that it talks! Frickin’ awesome.

If you visit the site (check the link below) you will see a video of the lego terminator in action. Is it the best lego model ever? Probably not… but its still pretty incredible. If you want to build one yourself there are full instructions on the website.

(Oh, and if you think the smile is a little creepy, you are not alone…)

Came across a post on Wired today about Metallica’s u-turn embrace of the internet (probably because of the shining success Radiohead and NIN have had) and their new YouTube channel for fans.

Contained in this post is a fantastic stop-time Lego rendition of Whiplash

There are few things more outstanding than huge Lego constructs – and this one is an absolute doozy. A group in Hong Kong going by the name The Hong Kong User Group has built a faithful reproduction of the venues for the Olympics using, you guessed it, Lego pieces. The result is truly impressive, and well worth visiting the link to catch all the pictures of it.

One thing about this really upsets me though. How come nobody told me about Lego User Groups, hey? Why the big friggin’ secret? I have stacks of Lego to contribute, a good eye for detail AND mum gave me more deoderant, so that’s no longer a problem… So… where do I sign up?

Lego is automatically awesome. It is Danish, and as such, it is, without question, immediately the best. No, I am not biased… bite me. This case mod, while not being a new idea, is an excellent implementation of a classic idea – Lego and computers.

Check out the site for the full details of how he put it together… really nice work.
