A group of churchgoers in Västerås, Sweden made a LEGO statue of Jesus Christ. According to the statue’s official blog, 10% of the surface blocks and all of the interior blocks were donated. The blog also has a slide show of the construction if you’re interested; you’ll be surprised at how full the statue is inside.

The people who built the…

Redone movie posters are almost always awesome, but when they’re made out of Lego bricks? It’s an automatic win. These recreations, from painstakingly detailed to simple and effective, are certain to catch the eye–and now they’ve been collected in one Flickr group.

With the massive popularization of Lego minifig characters, it’s certainly easier to recreate certain franchises, but that doesn’t…

Here’s a warning to all the bullies out there who like to make fun of nerds: don’t mess with people who can build flamethrowers out of LEGOs.

See, all they need are some bricks and a bottle of butane, and they’ll be pwning your ass like a Pyro on a Spy.

I believe this is what people call “pure win”:

It took Flickr user Kaptain Kobold just a couple of minutes to whip up his LEGO masterpiece, and now it has given him Internet Fame. You know the next step Kaptain: merch merch merch. Start with shirts & buttons, and soon you’ll be signing video game deals and movie deals. Then…

Can’t get enough LEGO bricks? Then here’s another accessory for your desktop that you might want to add to your collection.

These USB hubs from Systown bear more than a passing resemblance to LEGO blocks.

Perfect for connecting your LEGO flash drive and LEGO MP3 player to your LEGO Mac Mini, these hubs add 3 extra ports anywhere you need…

There was obviously a lot of attention paid to detail in the building of this Lego Donkey Kong recreation, at least as far as those slanting red levels go. Not so much with the figures, but that’s okay–that’s part of what gives this Lego setup its charm. Look at the smile on Donkey Kong! He’s the most adorable barrel-tossing ape ever.…

You’ve probably seen EagleTec’s Nano flash drive, a gadget that redefines “Nano” in terms of gadget size. The iPod Nano’s nanoness cannot compare to the EagleTec Nano’s. What could possibly be more awesome than a tiny flash drive? A tiny LEGO flash drive, that’s what. Etsy seller Stefan offers a geekier and more stylish alternative to the EagleTec Nano, cramming…

It sounded like something from a Penny Arcade panel, but in reality, it’s the newest Rock Band game: LEGO Rock Band, complete with minifig musicians with blocky little instruments. The toyed-up version is due this holiday season, not long after The Beatles: Rock Band.

At this point, I would typically make fun of the silliness (and potential awesomeness) of this title, but…

BioShock’s Big Daddies seem to turn up in all sorts of forms. You can make an edible Big Daddy, or hang out with a lifesized Big Daddy, or, if you like the square-headed variety, you can do what this guy did: make a Big Daddy out of LEGOs.

I like this version a lot because it’s faithful while keeping things pretty…

Unlike the other Lego-inspired audio gear we’ve featured here, this LEGO boombox actually bears the Danish toy company’s stamp. It’s quite cheap too, at $40. Who says authentic stuff has to be expensive?

The LEGO boombox has an analog radio and CD player, but you can connect other audio players via its 3.5-mm input jack. You can plug it in…

Chief Happiness Officer (nice!) Alexander Kjerulf received a business card from a friend. But since his friend worked at LEGO, this is what she handed to him:

Alexander adds that LEGO tries to match the appearance of the employee with the minifig. But you’re not going to get a minifig if you’re a lowly LEGO worker; the business minifigs are…

Space Battleship Yamato – known as Space Cruiser Yamato or Star Blazers in the US – is one of the most influential and groundbreaking Anime of all time, and the titular ship is as iconic as the other space opera vessels we know and love. The series spawned five movies, the last of which was released in 1983. A new…

Is there anything that doesn’t have an awesome LEGO version? Yes there is: my face. Fortunately Terran LEGO Master Pepa Quin isn’t into ugly faces. He used his amazing brick-snapping skills to create units from Blizzard’s upcoming RTS Starcraft II, like these shiny-headed Terran Marines:

While the Marines need no introduction to anyone who’s played SC, the rest of the…

The LEGO series of video games has popularized a whole new side of the brickish culture by focusing on things that look like they’re made of LEGO but which really aren’t. There’s really only one way to counteract this sort of tomfoolery: actually doing those scenes, settings, and characters over in real Lego bricks. That’ll show ‘em.

LEGO enthusiast Dave, who…

I didn’t know this was a trend. I first came across Mike Ballan’s post about this LEGO Delorean:

But since he didn’t post a link to the creator of this car I had no choice but to go to Google. How foolish of me to think that there was only one person who loved Back to the Future and had…
