I’ve already composed an ode to NPR on this blog, so to do the same for Legos would be spreading my affection too thin. Although– Legos came first in my life, and I do hold a spot in my heart for my first-love, so I’d just like to highlight the simple but wonderful nature of those perfect little colorful bricks of construction. Here are just a few of the creative variations of the best building block invented:
1. Lego versions of Nintendo games:
2. Lego Art: This guy left a career as a lawyer, to become a lego artist. Talk about jobs I’d rather be doing. You should read his story: http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/05/31/lego.artist/ and check out his gallery.
3. The Lego Bible: Seriously, check this one out: The Brick Testament: http://www.thebricktestament.com/
4. Lego based video games:
5. Lego Classic Photos: Check out more here: http://www.kox.sk/?p=702
6. Lego Anatomy:
Hopefully this inspires you to get out your box of stashed Legos and find a creative use for them. I’m not the only one that still has my childhood Legos, right? Personally, once the Legos come out then it’s hard to leave the Micro Machines in the closet, and once those bad boys on wheels ride through Lego town trying to enforce the rules, then there’s no harm in terrorizing the Lego townspeople with my old stuffed toy Glo-Worm, Popple, and my life sized Kirk Cameron cardboard cutout. Just kidding about owning the Kirk Cameron, I’m not that much of a nerd. It’s really Zack Morris. There is no way Left-Behind acting skills are gonna cut it for the Lego masterpiece I’ve set up by this point. This opus of 80’s childhood toys reunion requires the likes of Mark-Paul Gosselaar. You know he’s not going to take any crap when those Lego people put on their mad faces.
I digress, if it wasn’t Legos that got you excited as a kid, remember the toys or games that did, and for the love of Lego enjoy yourself.
