Armed and fully operational interlocking bricks 3/22

Here is something that makes me think that there is hope for mankind yet. LEGO is by far one of the best toys EVER created by the Danes, hell, by anyone. While their kits have gotten pricey, you can still get your tyke a tub of bricks for a reasonable price. Trust me, though, even if they are a bit steeper in cost than say a Tonka they’re worth it. Your belly-dump Tonka will forever be a belly-dump Tonka. Your LEGO dump truck can be smashed and made into a ballistic missile or a handy laser blaster with a thing in the stock that tells time.

Today I have something special for any Star Wars/engineering/LEGO geeks out there.

Yes, you are seeing that right, you can make your own EXECUTOR with LEGO. How badass is that? This guy blows me away; he even has the instructions available in CAD for god’s sake. The model itself is accurate to the smallest detail (well, for LEGO blocks that is) from the superstructure to the engines…it’s almost perfect. It's also as big as you.

There are other folks out there who have built EXECUTOR but all seem to bow down in allegiance to Lasse Deleuran. (Is it just me, or does his name make it seem like he could move to Naboo and fit right in?)

How jealous are you of THAT kid? Way to go, That Kid's Dad! You need an award. No jokes, I mean it, you rock a bit more than most.

I am completely amazed by some of the LEGO builders out there, completely amazed. So much so that I almost want to go out and buy a shit ton of blocks today and go nuts on my living room floor. I am so inspired by this thing that I think it deserves a place in my "Coolest Things Ever" section. There it will stay until called for...

I could go on and on in a geek-driven ramble that might stretch into days and weeks so I’ll end it here. Needless to say you owe it to yourself to take a coffee break and peep this guy’s creation. If not for you, do it for the glory of the Galactic Empire.
