When I was a kid, I had a friend that had tons of this new toy called Lego’s. Technically I was friends with his sister, yet he had these cool Lego’s I could play with so I hung out with him more often. I loved building stuff with them, even though I wasn’t really creative. The neat thing about Lego’s was how you could build the predetermined structures they provided with the Lego’s (what I tended to do) or they could be used to be creative and use your imagination to create anything you want.

Lego’s have grown into a multi-billion dollar business. Have you ever looked at how expensive some of these sets are? Just a set that builds a plane or car can cost at least $25 bucks. Heaven help you if you get asked to buy a kid one that has a special theme like Star Wars or Harry Potter. Some of these suckers can go $100 and higher.

Like I said, not only can you use these Lego’s for their original use, but since they are a bitch to separate, they can be extremely strong when stacked together so you can even fix things…

Through the years some of these folks have spent thousands of dollars on their Lego collection. Ton’s of little bricks that kill your foot if you have ever stepped on one. (you know what I mean).

So I thought I’d go find some cool things people have made. These are just what Google found pretty quickly, I can only imagine if I went to one of the many sites that are dedicated to this art form.

Here are some buildings people have done…

Can you imagine how much you have to keep looking at the original building to keep tweaking? Never mind keeping to scale.

Then we have the animals…

Ok, I’ll stop, but you have to admit, it’s kind of cool. I’m amazed at the talent it takes to do any of these. I wouldn’t even know how to begin any of these projects. Unless you gave me step by step instructions, I’d be lucky to pull off a box. I use to make some really good boxes.

Have any of you made any cool things out of Lego’s?
