There was a posting a couple months ago with some Lego stuff. I hadn't seen these yet. The Stott and the Fisher are my two favorite Lego replica. |

Well Chris, I finally finished it. The 1,260 page book (on CD)... THE UNOFFICIAL LEGO COLLECTORS GUIDE. And there's 1,700 pictures in it. If anyone is interested in the first ever comprehensive LEGO collectors guide see Detroit Connections (and Classified). I worked on this for the last 3 years, and was able to tap into the LEGO archives in Denmark to finish it. It seems kinda funny how no one has ever written a collectors guide for "The Toy of the Century" (according to Forbes Magazine), but see the other forums for details.... |

Have you guys seen on youtube or google video the remake of michael jacksons thriller. They actually re-enacted the entire thing using legos. It is kinda funny at the end when they are doing the dancing in the streets scene. |

The video would be cooler if it were slowed down a bit. I am amazed by the detail and such of these creations. |

The giant snowman in the video was a nice touch. It looks 3 or 4 stories tall? |
