From days of long ago, from uncharted regions of the universe, comes a legend; the legend of Lego Voltron

filthy light thief — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 11:36:46 -0800

Years have passed since Zarkon's invasion of Arus. A team of Space Explorers approaches the planet. Young but determined, these explorers have been sent by the Galaxy Alliance on a special mission: to search for the secret of Voltron. The team of explorers consists of five brave young (brick)men: Keith, Pidge, Hunk, Lance, and Sven. Together, with 71 hours of building, they form Lego Voltron. From work in progress to cockpit details and shoulder pin mechanisms, the photographed details are there to enjoy. The builder includes credits to the Teknomeka plans for the frame of the structure (history of the plans, models, and another model) (via).

A group of middle-school-aged self-proclaimed nerds from Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, who won the New York City FIRST Lego League Robotics Championship with their motorized robot called Thingamajig are embarking on a trip to the Robotics World Festival in Atlanta. After a lack of funds nearly scuttled their journey, they've been bailed out by British vacuum cleaner exec James Dyson, and have been given the kind of sendoff most young nerds can only dream of: an all-school nerd-cheering pep rally.

I Lego NY is a nifty column about the plastic free-association possibilities in New York City. This is an article from the NY Times today that I found fun and made me think of my Lego days as a kid. I'd like to hear more about what Mefites built with their Lego sets also, especially if you grew up without the ultra-specialized sets like I did.
