When I was little I remember building these corny space ships with little hatches that would eject rover cars and I thought I was they were the bomb. My childhood memories have now been reduced to shit.
Loves the Mario level with the Chomp.
That Bowser is pretty cool too.
Wish I had an artistic bone in my body. Oh well, thanks Niero for making my Friday a bit more bearable.

As a kid Lego was one of my favorite things, surpassed only by videogames so I can fully appreciate the awesomeness of these creations.
Just reinforces my belief that Sonic should stay in 2D. Seriously though, great talent. I love the PS2 and the Mario over the warp pipe. That one makes me tempted to go buy Legos so I can make one like that and put it on my desk.
When I get home, Im going through my basement and looking for my old box of lego and I am going to make that mario jumping out of a pipe for myself
wow I couldnt make shit out of lego's when i was a tyke. I remember trying to make an X-wing and I got so frustrated I slammed it to the ground. Never touched legos again
Snaileb, Niero,
My lego collection was a junkyard desert planet. Hence it provided a lot of milage out of incomplete lego kits (since my sister could digest kit-specific lego bricks at will.) I had half assed "robots" that use their sloppy interconnecting, tween lego parts as physical movement joints.
It was kinda like Mad Max, but then I also had my Transformers and He-Man guys fighting alongside them, so it was waaay better. Imagine how awesome it was to have Skeletor, Galvatron, Shockwave, and Mossman doing battle with Snap Action He-Man, Orko, Bumble-bee, Dinobots, and some lego people. Yeah, it rocked.
And right at the end? that's when the Millenium Falcon showed up.
Minas Tirith in Return of the King PALED in comparison to my childhood battles.

Wow, best thing I ever made out Legos was a cheap version of an Ar-wing(spelling?) I still have it in my room. One of my friends wanted to borrow my stash awhile ago; then he ran off to join the army. My brother and I had a 50 gallon tote full. We started all the way back in the Blacktron days. Anyone else ever get "Zack, he's a Lego maniac!" stuck in their heads?
DVD_Design you forgot the hundreds of different versions of Ninja Turtle figures. Remember the ones that changed from Mutant turtles into regular four legged turtles? Yeah.. old school..Krang..
I like it. If I ever get some time I'm gonna try this. My mom recently offloaded my lego collection from when I was a kid at my house. I'll see if I can make me some Ninty stuff.
Yeah, of course. Krang's 2 legged walker (not his exosuit) was a transport for my good guy legos after they defeated Krang, Shredder, and the Constructicons.
I'd tell you the details of the battle but I'm under NDA over my new Time Life series about the 1980's Lego Junkyard Desert Planet Wars of Plano, TX.
Ken Burns is signed to direct, and we found a whole hospital full of Alzheimer's patients who are willing enough to babble on about life on the battlefield. We even have an interview with Brian Peppers' efforts to support the war.
And yeah, remembering it now, all my bad guys were from the Blacktron collection. The good guys were either city people or space police.

haha, I love that Metroid.
Just the other day my mom had dug out some old pictures of me from when I was a kid; in one of them from about 20 years ago I'm holding a two-legged mech made out of legos. Thinking about it some more, where the hell would I have seen a standing mech back then? This was no later than 87, the only anime I'd seen by that point was Voltron & Battle of the Planets, and this was a very Battletech style design. It is a mystery!

I can't believe that Niero forgot the Lego mini figure I made of him a month or so ago for the winter Robot contest...damn.
Every Christmas I would get a new Lego set... now I have a ton of Legos in my basement. Castles and vehicles and all kinds of stuff, but I wish they would have made gaming themed sets like these. I would probably buy them now if they sold them in stores, just to have on my desk.
I'd probably do this (maybe do a Destructoid theme too), but the only thing that's holding me back is the lack of decent colored pieces, and I don't really want to buy packs of bricks (you can buy just bricks now, don't have to get proper sets anymore). When I messed around with Lego's in the past, there was hardly anything I couldn't make with my electric motors if I had the right pieces, my friend and I were semi-engineers with that stuff, we even made walking robots on our own, Lego cannons, a three-wheeler with powered steering, a big truck using the steering system monster trucks use, numerous other mini projects (without Mindstorms, that stuff's for chumps). That three-wheeler was amazing, with the big wheels we used it was able to drive around in my yard. Never did make artsy stuff, didn't have all the pretty pieces you need to do it.
I still find the BBQ'ed Chocobo funny.
I had honestly never seen the Bowser one, or various other video game related Lego creations.
The Chomp floating Island rocks...makes me wish for An actual Mario Lego set...

When I was little I'd make these giant lego guys..I'd put the blocks together so they were barely on eachother, then make my own bow & arrow with a coathanger & rubber bands, & fire pencils at them, just to see them 'explode'....I thought they were awesome, but now I realize I sucked.
Hmm, I like how much you made it look like the original but I think that some changes need to be made to some models. Your yellow, red, and tan Mario needs to be fixed big time. If you plan on making a SMB/SMB2J/VSMB/ANNSMB Mario, then by all means make all of the bricks that are yellow become brown bricks and put either yellow or orange bricks where the tan ones are, okay? Your diorama rocks and even though you have a SMB3 Mario there, you should put the SMB Mario there if it is in a SMB underground/mine level. Also, you should add some more of those underground tile bricks and add some lighter blue and some black to them, too. Oddly enough, I have thought of working with Nintendo and LEGO and making some video game themed stuff from LEGO. If you want someone to talk to about it really good, try that Eric Harshbarger guy. His website is http://www.ericharshbarger.org/ . He should be able to give you plenty of advice for your future projects on his website.
I also like the Metroid diorama. The Metroid is spot on in LEGO form. However, Samus Aran has more yellow on her suit as opposed to red like you made her out to be in your diorama. Still, you do have the right color scheme for the helmet and the blaster is cool. I could overlook the incorrect colors for the blaster part on the arm seeing as that it might become nearly impossible to find those particular parts in a yellow color, but otherwise, it is well done.
Also, the middle part of her suit should be red, so basically, simply inverse the colors of her suit below the head and you should have her look more like what she should look like, along with adding some red paint on her legs, of course.
