Little Coloured Bricks

When people think they have seen all that can be done with a bunch of colorful Lego bricks, they actually have not seen it all -at least not yet. When people begin to think they have seen it all, someone somewhere is putting together Lego blocks to make something no one has ever seen before. This is quite exciting, making Lego blocks real cool to play with.

Since the introduction of these interlocking blocks, it has captivated the minds of those that play with it. It is just full of endless possibilities and this is indeed what the maker of Lego imagined it to be -endless! From the very definition of the name Lego (Leg Godt), which means “play well,” people have been doing their part in playing with these bricks well. Some have been building conventional objects with original twists, while some people have just gone beyond everyone else and stepped into a whole new world with their creations. Call them weird, but to the Lego world, it is called pure genius. Just take a look at some of these pieces, and maybe you might just be inspired to do your own strange, yet amazing designs.

Have you ever visited Legoland? If not, then you better head on to it. Legoland is Lego’s very own theme park. If you just can’t get enough with your own collection of Lego, a visit to this theme park will give you the idea of what Lego-addiction means. Apart from the rides and structures made out of Lego bricks, you might just get a glimpse of Legoland’s official vehicle. Lego’s masterbuilders, a team of expert Lego engineers and artists, have put together a bunch of Lego pieces to form the exterior of this very reliable Volvo XC90. This collaboration piece done by Volvo and Lego’s masterbuilders is part of a campaign by Volvo to promote driving safety and family values.

The name Nathan Sawaya is a famous one among Lego enthusiasts. Who could ever forget that corporate lawyer that chose to leave his six-figure salary to fulfill a dream of becoming a Lego Masterbuilder? But now that he’s earning as much as his corporate job before as a freelance Lego artist, Nathan is still at it with his Lego creations. Here’s one of his most celebrated work of art showing a very iconic piece from the Star Wars Saga -Hans Solo, frozen in Carbonite. That’s ten thousand Lego bricks, right there!

For music lovers, this is probably the oddest thing you would see in a music room  -a harpsichord almost entirely made out of Lego. Everything is made of Lego pieces with the exception of the strings. Everything works too, just like a real harpsichord. It has a 61-note range, a six-by-three feet dimension, and weighs a total of 150 pounds, you can play music with this harpsichord just like with any regular one. A brainchild of Henry Lim, it took him over about two years to complete from theorizing, to designing, to building, to testing, and rebuilding.
