Angry Bird

Name of Model: Angry Bird

Created by: Sam Knavel

Details: The birds are angry. The pigs don't stand a chance. Particularly if the other birds are also built out with studs facing every direction. The eyebrows are actually adjustable (the joys of mounting a 1x2 tile on top of small plate), but the really angry look captured here seems to capture the feel of the popular game surprisingly well.

Big Apple and More at NYC LEGO Flagship Store

Name of Page: New LEGO NY Store takes a bite out of the Big Apple

Created by various Master Builders for the LEGO company

Details: This big apple (a play on New York's nickname) will be on display through next Tuesday at New York’s Rockefeller Center. The sculpture was built to commemorate the opening of a brand new LEGO store, which is open now. The store is a "flagship" store, which seems to be like the "Imagination Centers" we've seen sprout up elsewhere. Several smaller sculptures are in the store as permanent fixtures. There are more photos of the shop and sculpture at the recap linked above, alternately you can check out the official webpage for the new store (which has the location details so you can plan your trip).

Transformer Apple Power Mac G4 Cube

Name of Model: Transforming LEGO Apple Power Mac G4 Cube

Created by: Thinking Bricks

Details: Here's a frightening new idea - using casings from existing electronics to build Mindstorms-based transformers. It starts off looking like an ordinary appliance on your desk, and seconds later, it's off driving around. Rather than ruin the surprise for you, I have to ask that you check out all the videos at the site above (the fourth in the series shows a bit more of how it was done).
