In addition to announcing a boatload of new LEGO Star Wars products coming to tie into Force Friday II, LEGO finally revealed the rumored revamp of its Ultimate Collector Series Millennium Falcon set. Originally released in 2007, the Millennium Falcon set was one of the most sought-after LEGO vehicles ever sold. In the last 10 years however, it's been impossible to find at a fair price. Now on the verge of the ninth proper Star Wars film release, LEGO is releasing an all-new take on the Falcon that is not only the largest set ever released, it's also frighteningly amazing.
Everything really is awesome in the world of LEGO. After the success of Warner Bros.' 'The LEGO Movie,' the studio quickly signed off on 'The LEGO Movie 2' for a 2017 release. But now, with more than two years until the sequel, two more LEGO movies have been dated!
Last week we caught our first brief look at 'The Simpsons' in motion toward the world of LEGO, as Homer finds himself and the rest of Springfield "Brick Like Me" for the landmark 550th episode. Now, we have an even more head-turning look at the LEGO 'Simpsons' in a full poster spread on the family, as Homer falls to pieces in his new condition.

Catch the first look at Homer building his LEGO life with FOX's first promo for the 550th episode, "Brick Like Me!"

In this case, it’s Jason Bateman (as opposed to Chris Pratt) and this is a documentary (or, as they are calling it, a “brickumentary”), not a narrative feature.

The recent buzz of toy news brought confirmation that 'The Simpsons' would be going LEGO for an upcoming installment, though few details of the topical concept episode were known. Now, we've learned exactly when "Brick Like Me" will premiere, along with the bizarre twist that leads to Homer finding both himself and the rest of Springfield made entirely of LEGO!
One of the many features of this year's Arrowhead Home and Builder's Show at the DECC is a business that specializes in Lego building. Brickmania, based in Minneapolis, made the trip north to show off a couple of amazing Lego creations and offer you the opportunity to build your own.
Legos are so fun to play with, until those darn things end up your nose. That was the case with a now 6 year old boy, who forgot he had lodged a Lego up his nose 3 years prior.
Using only Legos and rubber bands, Jack Streat was able to build a fully-functional replica of a Heckler & Koch UMP 45 sub machine gun.
This is far from the only time Streat has fashioned a potentially dangerous thing out of Legos; he was able to build a working chainsaw out of the construction toys, and has a Youtube channel full of videos of other Lego weapons he has assembled.
