You know what they say about stop-motion? Each minute of footage takes about 6-7 hours to film, give or take. Sure, it’s labor intensive. I’ll give them that. But can it handle the superb sci-fi RTS action of StarCraft? It can… to a certain point. While it sure as hell looks awesome, even LEGO bricks can’t solve the problems of ...

Moranis has got to be a geek. Just look at those glasses, that grin, his hair, that tight buttocks… wait, I meant tight scrotum. NO NO, tight acting skills! Yes. Acting skills. Aside from his affinity to inspire man crushes, Moranis has just GOT to be a fan of LEGOs. And these LEGO Ghostbusters pieces would definitly fall under “things ...

Anybody who has followed Gearfuse long enough knows that there are really no limits to the artistry that can go into LEGO work. In fact, there are people who even make a career out of it. But Dave and John Xandegar simply wanted to create a power tool capable of fulfilling the geeky carpenter. The LEGO Circular Saw is probably ...

I’m not sure George Lucas understood the cultural significance Star Wars would have on the geek community. From rabid action figure collectors to entire religions, the world of Star Wars is nothing short of a phenomenon. Name any other film that has generated such a cultural furor. Nothing even comes close. So you can only imagine the geek boner I ...

LEGO has made official film-branded minifigs, such as Star Wars and even Toy Story, but they have yet to delve into the world of video gaming, which is actually sort of a mystery. So what are we geeks forced to resort to? Buying custom video game minifigs created by other geeks. These gaming minifigs by assorted artists can be found ...

LEGO designer Ronald McCrae created this amazing functional ATM made entirely out of LEGOs. How functional is it? Just check it out for yourself: This Lego NXT Automatic Teller Machine includes HiTechnic IRLink and a Codatex RFID Sensor, and just like any other ATM, it demands the PIN number. �Along with a functional keypad, a display screen, it flaunts 9�13 ...

Much like an enlarged prostate, this LEGO Rube Goldberg machine, left to its own devices, would just keep going and going and going. Some Goldberg machines have a goal, such as creating the perfect cocktail, others are made simply for their geeky aesthetic but this particular device simply is. And it continues to be. With the assistance of various building ...

Inspired by the AT-TE Walkers from the Star Wars universe, this iPhone dock is composed of an assortment of LEGO bricks. Creator Chris Harrison’s obsession with his iPhone, Star Wars and caffeine led to the creation of one of the coolest iPhone docks we’ve seen yet (though any dock is going to be hard pressed to beat the Dinosaur Dock). ...

While I’ve heard mixed reviews of Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland (as is typical with Burton films), there’s no denying the charm of these Alice in Wonderland-inspired mini LEGO sculptures. Including the Mad Hatter (played by a very Madonna-esque Johnny Depp in Burton’s outing) and Alice herself. I believe designer Tommy Williamson was going for a relatively�minimalist�theme, using as few ...

Iconic LEGO sculpture Nathan Sawaya is at it again, and boy does he know his audience. We’ve discussed how Sawaya proved to us the fine line between LEGO art and LEGO play, but he’s just taken it a step further with his newest creation – a five-foot tall LEGO model of the Blackberry Tour 9360.
