This stop motion Lego lightsaber duel could reasonably be described as a masterpiece. Step away from the camera, this now belongs to the ages and the angels. Well, maybe Jedi spirits instead of angels.
THE WHOLE LOT IS LEGO and playable…. genius! [Ed Note: File this one under “things that you absolutely don't need that you probably kind of need.” Along with the rest.]

From the “Things that probably took a really long time to make” category, comes a fully automated, motorized lego theater, featuring a play about pirates. The plot of the play could use a little work, but it has a shark in it, so I'm not complaining.
Tolkein + Lego + terrible pun = genius. Available soon as a really really cool T-shirt from what appears to be the Spanish Threadless. Anyone wearing this shirt will automatically become my hero.

Each of the scenes is instantly recognizable, and it looked like some of these took quite a bit of time. There’s a lot of attention paid to detail, as not only are the characters and stages recreated, but energy gauges and other in-game information, too.
Wow. My favorite song from my all-time favorite musical about a serial killer and the cannibal who helps track him down. And it's all done with legos! Only watch this if you're prepared to be humming “It puts the fucking lotion in the basket” to yourself for the rest of the day.
If you work for Lego you get to have the coolest business card ever. They even give you a little Lego person that looks like you! Assuming your torso is shaped like a trapezoid.
