It kinda niggles that I don’t know anymore where I saw this image first and downloaded it but one’s for sure: it can not be absent from Frankylicio.us, with or without attribution. After all it’s LEGO + Star Wars.

LEGO & Darth Vader. Now Your Worst Nightmares and Morning Terrors

franky — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 20:02:47 +0000

Know that feeling waking up in the morning? Your cell phone making horrible noises and annoying you with the sound of its alarm and the vibrations on your bedside cabinet? The nightmare of most of us or worst way to wake up.

Rather than having to wake up you wished you spent a little more time dreaming of how you could beat the Stormtroopers or Darth Vader even swinging your lightsaber through that virtual state of mental vortex you are in. Your awesome dream.

Or you might just have been reminiscing those earlier days when even non-geeks found it cool that you played with LEGO, AKA being a kid and more even… because you were quiet.

But what could have been a further successful mashup of Star Wars and LEGO now just turned out to be our worst nightmare.

That’s right: a LEGO Darth Vader mashup alarm clock. You can even get a Stormtrooper. For around $40 only.

Cool? Maybe but in all honesty nothing that wakes me up digitally is awesome.

Caprica Six is that you?

It’s not that I have forgotten about you gals and guys, but this tab usually is buried somewhere amid another 30 and 40 tabs. Ok, ok excuses of course and the real excuse should be that I was busy, right? Of course not that I barely ever have opened my feedreader recently, right?

Luckily we still love LEGO here at frankylicious HQ and e mark this return with the Story of Adult Fans of Lego

James May can not sleep on a LEGO mattress

franky — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 23:47:11 +0000

Remember how we all got excited about James May’s LEGO house? Full scale ~~excited~~ LEGO house.

The guys over at the Beeb certainly had fun with our money, holding the episode back but this year, Christmas will not bring you the eternal Christmas carols and evergreen movies, but instead we get James May in his LEGO House and the last episodes of the Tenth Doctor.

Are you excited already? I sure am but of course the Beeb has other plans again. Instead they released a teaser video on the Tube today.

Brilliant PDF with the official name of LEGO bricks and how 4 kids, all younger than 8, call those blocks.

LEGO Popup Book

The title really says it all. Remember those popup books we loved as kids? Yup, one of those. Made with LEGO.

Oh sorry. Maybe I should have warned you about the horrendously cheesy music.

James May’s LEGO House Gets Demolished

franky — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 18:41:01 +0000

This will probably make any kid and geek out there cry but it was to be expected. Nobody stepped up to buy it and the by LEGO donated blocks now have been rudely hammered to pieces again. Gone is the house built for James May. Returned are the bricks to a future house life, being donated to charity builds.

Niemann LEGOs NY

Christoph Niemann, columnist par excellence for the NYT, and known for brilliant pieces such as his A History of Coffee Love, which I mentioned at ifranky in pre-frankylicious times, always is worth a read. Rands reminded me of this brilliant piece about New York: I LEGO NY.

If you have never read Niemann’s illustrated stories for the NYT, check out New York Cheat Sheets and The Boys and The Subway.
