James May has built the ultimate childhood fantasy home, using over 816,000,000 Legos.
Jan Vormann fixes WWII-damaged German buildings throughout Berlin with lego bricks. I think some of these are Duplos, but they count, right?
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.

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.
A stop-motion Lego history of the world, created for Gizmodo's Go Miniman Go contest. This video actually took 2nd place in the contest, but it is my personal favorite. I'd give second place to this one.

Check out this picture set of a crazy detailed Lego ship.
Music Buzz Using Legos to recreate infamous album covers. What is it that’s so charming about using Legos to recreate well-known images? Something about those dorky, vacant yellow faces is just hard to resist.
A one-of-a-kind official LEGO version of Syd Mead’s “Spinner” flying car from Blade Runner. Geek out! This LEGO car is soooo quintessentially Boing Boing.
