The Greatest Toy Ever[20050613]

I love Danes, and not just because they (along with the rest of the ICAO Nordic Delegation) threw a great dinner-dance this weekend, but because they made LEGO. God I ♥ LEGO. Is all I can do NOT to drop $150 on a lego Millenium Falcon.

I do wish though that LEGO produced more “generic piece” sets. Too many of their newer models have special blocks or sections that can not be used elsewhere. With generic pieces, I can make beauties like those below.

Dscf2058Here are some great concept models and Mecha robots made from LEGOs. Complete with detailed descriptions too- Armament: Beam rifle x2 (~2 megawatt charge, stored in shoulder charging racks/weapons binders), clay bazooka (fed from 5-round clips, hand-carried). Even lighter armored than the L-Siren, V-Sirens are built for speed and agility above all else. Typically not armed with melee weapons, a V-Siren is most frequently seen slinging either its integral beam guns or a “clay bazooka”, a shotgun-like multi-payload launcher. [via] Link.
