The right Lego Builds of the Year [Bestof2010]

We’ve seen some remarkable and imaginative projects this year employing the enduring blocks, listed below are a number of of our favorites.

1. In Soviet Russia, Lego Can’t Even Make Its Own Products Right For Its Ads
Here’s top-of-the-line series of adverts I’ve ever clapped eyes on. Last month, Lego Russia released a sequence of ads showing some of its popular sets made up to be, well, not what they’re meant to be.



2. The Lego Master Chief Helmet One could Wear
There isn’t any limit to the wondrous nature of the Lego brick, as Ben Caulkins shows today: Behold, Master Chief ‘s helmet product of Lego. It doesn’t only look perfect, but you could wear it.



3. Lego ML-Explorer 01 Not Practical, But Beautiful
I will be able to’t see NASA clamoring to get this Lego design onto the Moon or Mars anytime soon, but man is it neat to take a look at when it gyrates across that cup table.



4. Lego, For the Love of the Brick Gods, MAKE THIS RC TANK
This Metal Slug -inspired tank is without doubt one of the nicest Lego constructions and RC toys I’ve ever seen. But what puts this in another league is how the builder-Peer Kreuger-used Lego RC camera cars to shoot this video.



5. Largest Lego Ship Ever Built Is greater Than Three Queen-Sized Beds
The 23-foot-long Lego USS Intrepid aircraft carrier ought to be renamed the USS Insane. It’s the most important Lego ship ever built. Ed Diment made it to minifig scale, complete with Wildcat and Corsair airplanes built by Ralph Savelsberg.



6. The Imperial Space Invaders
These will not be what you are going to expect. Look closer and notice.



7. Marvel at Futurama’s New The Big Apple in Lego
While he was looking ahead to Futurama to come back, the nice Pepa Quin spent more than two years building New Manhattan in Lego, complete with Planet Express, Robot Arms Apts. Applied Cryogenics, Madison Cube Garden, and even the sewers!



8. First Walking Lego Mecha Is asking for Lego Godzilla
Lego biped robots are a dime a dozen, even while some look pretty sweet. This one is special: It’s the first walking Lego robot. And, unlike your usual feet-dragging toy robots, it actually walks by raising its feet.



9. Exclusive: The brand new Gigantic Lego Imperial Shuttle
Yearly Lego gives us a large multi-thousand piece Star Wars model, like the 5,195-brick Millennium Falcon or the 3,800-brick Death Star. Now it’s the turn for an all-time favorite of mine: The 2,504-piece Lambda-Class Imperial Shuttle.



10. The superb LEGO Factory Builds By Itself Just Fine, Thank You
Five Mindstorms computers, four-and-a-half months of planning, 25,000 elements, and a warehouse of over 90 different bricks make this LEGO Factory Project (2.0) the last LEGO thing that ever needs be built. Just download plans from LDD and go.
