Constructed by Joseph of Joseph’s Machines in partnership with LEGO (heck yeah, get that LEGO money!), this is a video of a Rube Goldberg machine featuring a LEGO Mario Kart race. Who wins in the end? We do, because that was delightful. But also Mario, because Mario always wins. Unless
Unrelenting in its efforts to dig to the very bottom of my murse, LEGO is releasing a Lord of The Rings: The Shire build set. The set will cost $270 *spit-takes Miruvor* when it’s released April 5th and contains 2,017 pieces, including nine minifigs and a very tiny One Ring.
To celebrate Mario Day (MAR10) and take all my money in the process, LEGO has just unveiled a 1,972-piece build set of Mario in his Mario Kart. The $170 set is available now for pre-order, and will be on regular sale starting on what is presumably Maris Day (MAR15). Am

Further proof there’s nothing you can’t build with LEGO, this is a video of Youtuber Banana Gear Studios constructing and demonstrating a small omnidirectional treadmill. It’s crazy the way the pieces just seem to float around the rotating spindle floor. How people come up with stuff like this is beyond
This is a beautifully made stop motion video by slopsmcgee (aka Greg Saniatan) of him making a LEGO vase in the style you’d make an actual vase out of clay on a potter’s wheel. I love stuff like this. I wasn’t going to internet today, but I’m glad I did.
