Pretty cool, huh? It's actually considered "illegal" building meaning that it's not one of the Lego building methods that are used in commercial sets. Usually I steer clear of illegal building but this is just too fun to pass up.

If Lego sold these, they would make a killing!

Question: how can one get so many 1x2 bricks?

Well there is no way I could build all of the models at the same time, I usually build one then tear that model apart to make a new one. I'm also a frequent visitor of the Pick a Brick wall which is a wall full of bricks that you can pick out and fit into a cup for a set price, found inside Lego stores.
