It Took 400,000 Lego Bricks to Build Hogwarts

Alice Finch built this humongous Hogwarts replica using 400,000 Lego bricks, not just completing the outside of the school accurately, but also creating an interior to just about every room Hogwarts has to offer as well. We’re talking Snape’s classroom, the Chamber of Secrets, potions lab, the Great Hall, and everything else you can think of. Photos of the entire school can be found on her Flickr.

Brothers Brick has an interview with Finch about the massive creative feat. Flip through her photos to see numerous references and characters to the beloved book/film series.

This Crazy Lego Contraption Took Two Years To Build [VIDEO]

This contraption takes tiny little balls on a seven-minute journey from Point A and back in an endless loop. While some people will probably watch this and ask “Why?,” the dude who made it clearly asked “Why not?” And now he has more YouTube views than you do.

Watch:

Somewhere there’s a very important man at an engineering firm shouting to someone over the phone, “I don’t care what it takes! Bring me the man responsible for this device at once!”

This thing would make the most annoying gumball machine in the world.

7-Foot Serenity Recreated With 70,000 LEGO Pieces

This beast was made by Adrian Drake of Brickfrenzy and it took about 21 months to build. Check out more pics here.

I’m so glad there’s people out there with the patience to make this sort of jazz because I sure as heck don’t. I wouldn’t mind playing with it though!

LEGO And Nintendo Need To Make A Game Together, Like, Now!

Awesome Zelda x LEGO mashup piece by Wes Talbott.

I can see it now: smashing pots, cutting grass, and collecting Rupees - all in a blocky LEGO style. Dear LEGO and Nintendo, please make sweet, sweet love so that we can have this baby!

Now THIS Is How You Display Your Star Wars LEGO Minifigs

These displays by Philipp are truly a thing of geektastical beauty. I wish I had the patience for this sort of stuff, but I’d just use my imagination to turn into Godzilla and wreck the whole thing halfway through.

Working Wheelchair Built Completely Out Of LEGO

Simon Burfield concocted this wheelchair out of six Lego Mindstorms NXTs, 12 Mindstorms motors, 12 Lego Mindstorms touch sensors… and a “whole load of Lego Technic.” It can carry a human being weighing up to 198lbs., is incredibly loud, incredibly slow, and yet, we still find it incredibly awesome.

See it in action below.

Street Fighter LEGO Minifigs

Julia Fong whipped up this healthy serving of custom Street Fighter minifigs for your eyeballs’ mass consumption. They’ll most likely never be a mass produced thing that you can own, but it’s okay because wanting things builds character.

Support This Shizz: Shaun of the Dead Lego Set.

Yatkuu and Pixel Fox need support to turn their Shaun of the Dead “Winchester” LEGO playset into an actual product. They currently have over 7,000 supporters on CUUSOO and need a total of 10,000 for their product to be reviewed by the bigwigs at LEGO and possibly turned into something that we can all actually buy.

We have almost 22,000 Tumblr followers, so I think if all you dudes and dudettes take a few seconds on the CUUSOO page for this thing, we can get it done. Go do work!
