The Download Munkey : Download This, Download That :)

Wallpapers for the Batman range of Lego mini-figs. Can’t wait for the upcoming Lego Batman : The Videogame to be released later this September since I’m a big fan of Traveller’s Tales games - their previous Lego Star Wars : The Videogame made me into a Star Wars fan.
Hopefully a romp through a Legofied Gotham City will change my opinion of the depressingly dark and gloomy Batman universe.

Also check out the six promotional comics for a quick primer on the major villains (below) as well as Batman’s garage of Legofied vehicles. Almost all the villains are present except for the strange omission of Catwoman. Hmmm….

More Dark Knight goodness in the exclusive debut trailer for Lego Batman : The Videogame which you can watch or download from Gametrailers.

Travellers Tales has another soon to be released Lego game in the form of Lego Indiana Jones : The Original Adventures but I think the Dark Knight is far cooler - although I have to admit that the exotic locations in Lego Indiana Jones as shown in the wallpapers do have their attractions

Apparently, Lego no longer has the Harry Potter license so I’m wondering which license they would use for the next Lego game -a Lego minifig version of The Lord of the Rings would be fantastic

Download the wallpapers or view the comics for Lego Batman.

Finally found time to read this free issue of Brick Journal #9 - a must-read for anyone remotely interested in Lego. While I haven’t been actively playing with Lego for close to fifteen years, occassionally I get the sudden inspiration to create something simple like this birthday present

The Lego blog The Brothers Brick and now BrickJournal, are surely inspirational stuff for anyone who has ever touched a Lego brick and dreamt of building something bigger and more ambitious than their brick collection (and for me, proper building skillz )

© Twomorrows Publishing

This free 148 pages BrickJournal issue showcases loads of cool Lego models as well as instructions to build a Mini Super Star Destroyer (Star Wars) amongst several other building instructions.

Some of favourite builders and models from this issue:

Even if you only like Lego a little bit, do check out www.brothers-brick.com, a blog about Lego plus tons of creative Lego models people come out with.

There’s Lego models with movie influences e.g a King Leonidas I (300) minifig, military themed Lego e.g It’s not easy being green, Lego art imitating real art - Contemporary Art, LEGO’d, video game characters in Lego - Gears of War Lego minfigs and even ninjas! (I love ninjas - download the awesome Shinobido Imashime cinematic trailer I posted previously)

Some previews of the cool stuff you can see on the Brothers Brick. All images are copyright of the Brothers Bricks and their respective creators, of course.

Clockwise from top left: Gears of War, Ninjas, Ghost Rider and King Leonidas I (300).

Found BrickArms from the The Brother Brick at www.brothers-brick.com. Read the original BrickArms post here.

BrickArms produces weapon Lego parts and custom minifigs. Some of my favourite weapons below (Clockwise from top left - M47 Tactical Shotgun, AK47, M23 Socom Pistol and MP5)

Love the look of the weapons, realistic (especially the MP5) yet retains that slightly silly Lego look.

Found this older post at www.terminally-incoherent.com with a photo of a Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine Hellfire Dreadnought (Blood Angels?) created with real Lego.

Curious to who might have created this masterpiece, I searched the web and found Jerac’s page on MOCPAges here.

On his page, he also showcases his other creations comprising a Dreadnought and Predator for Chaos Space Marines, Vyper Jetbike and Wraithlord for the Eldar and a Land Speeder and several variations of the Dreadnought for the Space Marines and a Killa Kan for the Orks. My favourite has to be the Chaos Predator .
