A Little Bit On The Lego Graffiti Side: This sick little stop motion video of a LEGO man getting up on a train was made for a school project by Elvisistnochamleben. The photo snaps at the end are a nice subtle touch.

Dale May takes a break from commercial and celebrity photography to snap some classy pics of Star Wars Lego figures. His “Lego Wars” exhibit kicks off on December 15th and runs until January 19th at the Samuel Own Gallery.
Check out a sneak peak at some pieces from the exhibit here.

This life-size replica of the Lancer from the Gears of War series was made by PLUM B. Not only is the chainsaw actually motorized, but it can be loaded with actual clips of rubber bands and fired in semi-auto and auto modes.
I say we get a group of people together, arm ourselves with these things, and have us a flashmob Lancer battle at Legoland.
Check out a video of this beast in action after the jump.
As if BBQing couldn’t get any more awesome. Full instructions on how to do this yourself over on Instractables, but it’s basically just a matter of painting the tank to look like a Lego head, so I’m not sure what more instruction you could possibly need.

![Behold the Legotron Mark I - A Large Format Camera Made from Legos
I get paranoid enough about dropping my $150 point-and-shoot, so I could never imagine lugging this thing around, but it’s pretty awesome and definitely gives new meaning to the phrase ‘toy camera.’
This was made by Cary Norton who lays out the specs:
I have no clue how many pieces are in this camera
It’s dimensions are roughly 7″x6.5″x7″
The main parts are a Main box, internal box, film holder/ground glass slot, lens board, lens.
The lens is a 127mm ƒ4.7 I got on ebay for ~40 dollars
The lensboard is two Plates deep and fits perfectly in the slot I built for it (though, I cut it down to one plate in the center to actually mount the lens).
Focus is achieved by sliding the internal box forward and backward.
The focus range is limited to roughly 3 feet to about 18 inches. It’s good for portrait, but certainly can’t focus to infinity. Mark II (once I get to that) should have a way better focusing range. I’m planning on making a pinhole lens board too.
The ground glass is just plexi, sanded with various fine grits. It’s held in place by a film holder that previously had light leaks, but now has the aluminum center cut out. The fit is tight and I ran a line of liquid nails too, just in case.

LEGOLand California General Manger, Peter Rochetti, was pranked the other day when he came out to his theme park’s parking lot only to find that his Volvo SUV had been replaced with a full-blown Lego replica. The car was made up of 201,760 Lego pieces and weighed 2,934 pounds. Best part? The man still tried to open the door.

Hola, amigos. It’s that time again. We’d be pleased a fucking punch if you recommended us to the Tumblr directory.
Here’s some other awesome Tumblr blogs you should consider recommending instead of us:
it 8-bit - Video game screenshots, fan art, and culture.
Legos - Because Legos.
And last, but not least…

Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare, In LEGO Form!
Flickr user mcgregor.harry made a LEGO set based on the Undead Nightmare DLC for Red Dead Redemption. Since LEGO’s been on a game-churning kick these past few years, I’m thinking they should just hop on the zombie bandwagon already. Maybe even team up with Rockstar for some extra freshness. A dude can dream…

Daily Geekstomization: Lego Sex Bob-Omb!!!
Coincidentally, singer/song-writer Beck made all the music for Sex Bob-Omb in the Scott Pilgrim movie and this custom Lego Sex Bob-Omb set was also made by a Beck. Only instead of a famous singer dude, this Beck is a female teacher residing in the U.K. Go figure.
