Mountain Temple Adventure -- A short LEGO stop-motion film by me!

This is my first LEGO stop-motion film.  I hope you like it!  :-)

If there is anything you dislike about the movie, please tell it to me constructively. Thank you.

A trailer for 'The Adventurers of Clutch Powers' LEGO CGI movie!!

A Flickr user who goes by the name of "The Alchemyst" has posted the trailer for the new LEGO CGI feature-length movie called "The Adventurers of Clutch Powers"  (coming in Spring 2010) on Flickr!
I wanted to show it to you LEGO fans!

The Brickster has been caught!

The Brickster has been caught!

The Brickster had escaped from jail and robbed a bank! Fortunately, Pepper Roni and Sky Lane Jane chased down the Brickster on the LEGO Island highway and deconstructed his car! Officer Nick Brick arrived just in time to arrest the Brickster and returned the money to the bank! All is well .... For now .....

*The characters mentioned above are from the LEGO Island video game series.

Are you excited to play ... LEGO Rock Band??

 

In Fall 2009, a LEGO video game called LEGO Rock Band will be released.  The game will be like other musical video games -- you hook up a musical instrument game controller and play music, BUT with a LEGO twist!

Besides rocking out, you can customize the minifigs in the band and the minifigs who support the band.

Even though LEGO Universe is launching 2010, at least we can use the luanch delay as an excuse to buy this.

An old LDD creation of mine ...

 

I found an LDD creation that I made three years ago!

The sun behind the train makes it look as if it's rocketing through space ....

An amazing new update to LDD!

An update has been made to the brick selection of LDD (LEGO Digital Designer)!

Now you can enjoy adding

new windows, minifigure parts, and even LIGHT-SABERS to your LDD creations!

(The picture above doesn't show all of the new pieces)

Over time, I have made a LOT of LDD (LEGO Digital Designer) creations and put them on the LEGO Factory site (you can buy your custom set there), so now I'm showing them to you!

Highly unexpected news

The LEGO company has recently delayed the planned launch of the LEGO MMOG known as LEGO Universe!  The reason for this is because LEGO is launching a whole bunch of cool LEGO Products in 2009 and they didn't think LEGO Universe would get the attention it deserves.  However; the extra time will be used to make LEGO Universe even better!

This is a bitter sweet experience for me.  The bitter part of it is that it is going to take even longer for LEGO Universe to come out.  The sweet part of it is that this will give to a chance to do other things so that I won't have to worry about LEGO Universe coming so soon.

Hopefully it comes out at least in 2010.

The Stalactite Scraper!

When the Power Miners need to remove stalactites in case of an accident, they call on the Stalactite Scraper!

When you roll it, a series of gears turns the grinder at the top!

A new poll ..

Since the new LEGO MMOG is coming, I've decided to make a new poll about it!  Since this poll will last a long time, I made it so that you can use it if LEGO Universe hasn't or has come out at the same time!

If you have NO idea what LEGO Universe is and you've selected "LEGO Universe?  Huh?  Never heard of it." then here is a linky for you:  http://universe.lego.com/en-US/Default.aspx

The results of the poll!

You know that poll on my blog about what you call the things found in LEGO sets?  Well it ended.  Here are the result.  5 voted bricks as the things you find in LEGO sets, 3 voted pieces as the things found in LEGO sets, and 0 voted blocks.  Good job!  We all know that LEGO doesn't put blocks in their sets, but some other rip-off copy-cat bootleg building block company might ...

The second Thunder Driller!

When the first Thunder Driller is damaged in an rock slide, the Power Miners team build a temporary replacement!  Built in a smaller scale with a Star Wars windshield and a titanium drill, this little brother version of the Thunder Driller means business!

One strange skeleton ....

What do you do when you have extra skeleton pieces?  Make a weird monster of course!

With a shield picture for a face, very long legs, and hands that shoot flames you can terrorize a medieval village!

Upgrades to the Power Miners Mine Mech!

When I first received the Power Miners Mine Mech, I thought it was very cool and Exo-Force like, but it was also very very skimpy.  So I added upgrades to the Mine Mech so that it will last longer against a dozen or so pesky rock monsters!  Instead of a spinner that isn't good at drilling; I added a normal PM drill!  The I noticed that the claws could use some more work; so I made them more dangerous.  The legs and arms I improved plus I added a few defenses in-case a Boulderax rock monster shows up.

Remember:  If you think that an instructions-followed model needs some work, don't be afraid to add a few extra pieces from your collection.
