Truly Bizarre.
BrickCon 2008, a LEGO convention, just wrapped at the Seattle Center Exhibition Hall, and one of the biggest and most interesting displays featured LEGO zombies shuffling through the city devouring brains and causing mayhem. It’s totally awesome, and is the reason why every child should play with LEGO as they grow up (and why many adults should never stop playing with LEGO).
Check out the awesome gallery after the jump.
I remember the first time I saw the modern LEGO minifigs – it was September 1978, and my parent got me the Space Cruiser set (the first of many space themed LEGO sets). I loved the idea that you could actually pose these figures, have them fight, dance, and travel through your imagination.
The LEGO(R) minifigure was first manufactured and packed into a LEGO set the morning of August 25, 1978. Children of all ages and LEGO employees around the world today commemorated the milestone by kicking off Go Miniman Go!, a movement that aims to inspire generations of LEGO children to reconnect with the adventures their minifigures enabled them to live through creative, constructive LEGO play.
Take the jump for some interesting facts about our little 2-inch friends.
Batgirl is joining the forces of good in the upcoming LEGO Batman game from Lego and Warner Bros. The Gotham Heroine arrives in the game in September. Does this mean we’ll get a Batgirl mini-fig in future LEGO sets?

I’m usually not big on the non MMO video games, heck my console selection is pretty limited to old generation Xbox, PS2, and a PSP. However, the latest screen shots from LEGO Batman: The Videogame have me thinking a PS3 might be on my birthday wish list.
Take the jump for more images.
Now this is the kind of thing I like to see!
Just wanted to thank you for bringing Italian Spiderman to my attention. It if weren’t for Major Spoilers, I’m sure it would have been episode seven before I even heard of it…
Take the jump for the big image, and link to more images of Lego Italian Spiderman!
The LEGO Batman line is just okay. The buildings and cars are much better than the figures in my opinion (Minimates still do it for me as far as poseability, size, and so on), but what if LEGO actually took the time to create an entire line of figures based on Marvel and DC properties?
That’s exactly what Xueren did over at the Brickshelf website.
Check it out, it’s pretty cool. Has he really created 500 figures?
Chris Doyle from Reasonably Clever, and long time Major Spoilers reader, sent me a quick message to let us know he is running another unofficial LEGO contest on his site. This time around he’s challenging builders to design a special armor set for Iron Man.
Since this is not a contest endorsed by LEGO or Marvel, you aren’t going to see any official ties to either company, but you can win some cool prizes.
So if you are a LEGO-Maniac and have some Iron Man love, head over to the site for the complete rules, prizes, and all that other stuff.
Here’s the latest trailer/commercial for the upcoming Lego Batman video game.

If I only had 10 more hours in the day, I might be able to squeeze in 30 minutes to play video games again.
As announced yesterday on this site, Harely Quinn will be making an appearance in the next wave of Batman sets. Today, LEGO sent Major Spoilers images of the Harley set (she’s with Batman’s bat-cycle), and as a bonus, an image of one of the Speed Racer movie tie-in sets.
I really don’t know how exclusive this is, but I’d like to think Major Spoilers has the first image of LEGO’s new Harley Quinn minifig for the next series of Batman play sets.
My son and I are already playing with our LEGO Indiana Jones playsets… okay, he’s only 8 months old, so most of the playing is being done by your’s truly. In addition to more Indiana Jones sets coming this year, LEGO has also announced new sets from its other licensed toy line, including Speed Racer, and you don’t want to miss the new Batman line that will feature the first Harley Quinn minifig.

If only the creator behind this mock trailer would do the whole movie in this same style.

Oh man, first it was Lego Star Wars, then Lego Batman, now Lego and LucasArts are teaming up for Lego Indiana Jones: The Videogame.
The game will be a tounge-in-cheek as players take on the role of Indiana Jones as he whips his way through the three movies.
Way back in 1995 or so, when Lego released it’s Adventure series, I posted how cool it would be to have actual Indiana Jones playsets. Well it looks like 12 years of waiting is finally paying off as Lego and Lucasfilm have announced we’ll get Indiana Jones playsets in January 2008.
