That was really cool. I was hoping they'd have the circular glass room that Thor gets trapped in, though.

[Pak-Man]

The Helicarrier has been a part of Marvel lore since the '60s. Way before Sky Captain tried it.

[Johnny Unusual]

Looks like we may see a Wall E piece may happen and a Doctor Who set will happen at some point in the future.

Poor piano.  You are up against famous things.

Also, I love hearing people who are basically fluent in English occasionally mispronounce things just slightly.

Why is "Lego Ideas" all about using other peoples' ideas?

[Johnny Unusual]

To be fair it isn't "Lego's Ideas"

[Darth Geek]

Have any of you seen "The Brick" a gallery of LEGO art? It's magnificent. I saw it at the Philadelphia Art Museum. It's three dimensional Lego sculptures and two dimensional "paintings" (like the Mona Lisa rendered in bricks which is like pixels, from a distance it looks like the real painting, but close up you can see the multi-coloured bricks that make it up.)

It's much better than anything you saw at the Lego Store [tm] in Disney...

Interesting....
I think Joel was a bad choice for the ad.  He doesn't seem like someone that would play with LEGOs.

I haven't seen that. Sounds cool. I have seen the full scale Lego Liberty Bell in the Philly Airport.

[RandyMistie]

Darth, I have seen that liberty bell, as well.

"The Brick" is on tour so it may make it to many of your local museums in the next few months.
