Flickr user Pepa Quin has been working on the Futurama New New York LEGO project for a while, giving us a few brief glimpses of the project over the past few years. But finally, we see the finished product. A metropolis of geeky proportions the likes of which we’ve never seen before. Everything from Planet Express to Robot Arms Apts. ...

Kids love their LEGOs, no doubt about it. But somethings are better left for us mature and responsible adults. Well, as mature and responsible as you can be while at the same time building stuff like this LEGO Sniper Rifle. Built using LEGO Technics, Jack Streat created this full functioning Lee Enfield Sniper Rifle, and by fully functioning, we mean ...

Equipped with some circuitry, a webcam, a NXT LEGO Mindstorm set and plenty of time on his hands, Branislov Kisacanin created Tetris-Bot, the first (to our knowledge at least) LEGO bot to be made specifically to play Tetris. Sure, Tetris-Bot has only made it to level 1 so far, but I think it might just be biding its time. First, ...

When I first saw this foosball table, I thought the only LEGOy-ness about it was the minifig soccer men. Which is pretty cool in its own right, but ho-hum. There’s just too much LEGO competition. But then I took a closer look and realized that the whole damn table was made of LEGOs. And my geeky flag went up. Eureka! ...

I never really got into the whole Bioshock thing, but the Big Daddy suit has always intrigued me, even more so since I saw the trailer for Bioshock 2, with the suit leaving only mass destruction in its wake. So naturally, when I saw the awesomeness of the Big Daddy, mashed together with the bricktastic building capabilities of LEGOs, my ...

I can’t attest to being a crazy The Nightmare Before Christmas fanboy, as I don’t think I’ve ever even seen the movie all the way through, but I always did love Tim Burton’s style. This film vignette captures that style pretty well despite the fact that it’s completely composed using LEGO bricks and accessories. Emulating the now iconic poster art ...

Adding to the awesomeness of his 2008 LEGO computer, Luke Anderson created this DIY project which helps you create your very own internet router built from LEGO bricks. Based around the Linksys WRT54GL router model, the LEGO Router works just like its Linksys counterpart except for its brick-tastic style. Basically Anderson took the innards of a perfectly usable Linksys router ...

While the iconic fail whale was already the willing victim of a full-on LEGO brick barrage, the Twitter bird had stealthy avoided the brick treatment. But no longer thanks to brick designer Fredo Houben, who took the Twitter bird design to the next logical level — LEGO sculpture. Link [via]

My only question is — when the hell did Jared from Subway start building LEGO sculptures? Pretty impressive work, even if Yoshi’s nose is large enough to swallow a medium sized planet. I’m surprised Jared isn’t being sucked in by its gravitational pull. Oh, that’s right, Jared has his own. It’s funny ‘cuz he’s FAT. Link [via]
