Nowadays LEGO seems to be into micro-sizing things that it finds worthy of attention. Even with its own theme sets, LEGO will throw in a micro-scale or two – such as the replica of a mini-sub in The Lost City of Atlantis, or the Phantom ship in the Star Wars collection. Nick Carlierti, a certified brick fan, pays tribute to his love for theme park fun with his own version of a micro-scale LEGO Disneyland MOC project submitted on LEGO Ideas.

Crossing Our Fingers for This LEGO Product Idea Micro-Scale LEGO Disneyland MOC

It’s amazing how these micro-scale sets are actually recognizable as the locations they’re trying to copy. With such few LEGO pieces, Nick’s attention to detail is pretty awesome. We hope to see his creation get the support that it deserves from LEGO.

Once it gets the needed 10,000 votes, then it’s up to the toy company to consider it for production. The only difficulty perhaps might be securing the rights to actually produce the set and we won’t find out unless the set gets the thumbs up from the LEGO jury.

New Trailer for New Season of LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu

This popped up today, the trailer for the new season of LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu. In this season the Ninjago team will be taking on the Sky Pirates!

These Might Be The Most Customized LEGO Minifigures Ever

Looking for a unique gift for the uber LEGO fan? Then these customized LEGO minifigures might just be what you’re looking for!

The cool thing about LEGO minifigures is that you can interchange and swap them with other minifig components. Consisted of a head-piece, the head itself, the upper torso, the lower torso, and one accessory, LEGO wants to stay true to its purpose of sparking creativity and variety even with its smallest of playthings while allowing more room for its fans to be creative. And what better way to express this creativity than through these highly customized LEGO minifigures?

These Amazing Customized LEGO Minifigures is the Perfect Keepsake

Chris Lightfoot of Lincoln, England decided to push the limits of LEGO minifig customization to a whole new level with his unique, customized LEGO minifigures. During the day, he is a 3D printing specialist who develops artificial bones for the medical industry and models for architectural firms. Being a LEGO fan himself, he founded his online hobby store Funky 3D Faces.

Lightfoot comments, “Although we do enjoy making bones and buildings we wanted to use the technology we had to make something fun and affordable to the masses.” For just less than US$30, you can have a funky, customized look of ‘your little monster’ and turn him into a little hero.

Here’s How to Get Your Own Customized LEGO Minifigures

According to their website, you just need to send along two clear photographs, one of the side of your head and one taken face-on. Funky 3D Faces then converts those photos into an “eerily lifelike” 3D head, as described by CNET reporter Amanda Kooser.

The process behind the creation of these 3D-printed, customized LEGO minifigures is equally impressive as the outcome itself. “We convert 2 photographs into 3D – then using sophisticated full-color 3D printers, we create eerily life-like 15mm high heads,” Chris explains.

The head-making process even includes your choice of hairstyle and color. The heads are sized to be more or less 15 millimeters. It has a sandstone finish with a hole in the neck that perfectly fits on any Lego minifigure. “This means you can turn yourself into whatever Lego character you want, whether it’s a Stormtrooper or one of the Ghostbusters”, adds Kooser.

Tiny as it seems, the production of this 3D figure is somehow lengthy and usually takes up to two weeks. So plan accordingly if you need it for a special occasion or as a gift.

LEGO Classic Batman TV Series Batcave Image!!!

We finally have our first look at the much anticipated LEGO Batman Classic TV Series Batcave (76052)!

[]

Back of Box

[]

You’ll see from the image that we get nine minifigures which includes Batman, Bruce Wayne, Robin, Dick Grayson, Alfred Pennyworth, Catwoman, The Joker, The Penguin and The Riddler. Buildable items include the classic Batmobile, Batcopter and a Batcycle. It you look at the top right of the box you’ll also notice that part of Wayne Manor is built out for Bruce and Dick to slide down the poll, into the Batcave and transform into Batman and Robin.

We have to retail price on this yet nor official release date. However, many are suggesting the release date will be March 1st with an early LEGO VIP member release of February 15th.

You’ll notice one of the classic villains missing is Mr. Freeze. For a few weeks this Mr. Freeze picture was seen on eBay. Most are now speculating that this minifig will be part of a promotional polybag at the LEGO store.
