All lego transformers

I think i may have beat fungus to this....who knows, he usually posts these things neat lego printer it's not exactly photo quality (or fast) but it sure is nifty. i really like that it's got all the lego guys on it as if they're workers in a factory or something

Heloo I was just bored today so i made this i just wanted to know what everybody's favorite lego set/build or lego guy was. Just curios, Bye!

Hi every body, I show you some period of time that I played Lego world, njoy

 Does anyone know of a lego weapon other than a rb gun or a crossbow? Possibly a catapult? Is anyone up to the challenge of making one and putting it up on instructables?

Help me please! Yesterday, when I got home, I found these (legos in picture) in my lego city! Luckily, little other damage was done, but what can I do?! I have never come across this problem before! And when I tried to discipline the rouge legos for their radioactive behavior, they wouldn't listen!!! How do I stop the insolent radioactive leogs?! That;s right, they're even calling themselves leogs now!

I came across not one, but two very cool Lego sculptures. The first is a perfect rendering of Le Corbusier's Villa Savoye, one of the most famous houses in architecture. Make sure to check out the original pictures of the house along with the Lego reproduction if you haven't seen the house before.The second is a must-see for all Star Wars fans: a nearly 4,000 piece, $400 dollar Lego Death Star diorama. It comes complete with Lego-ized versions of all of the major characters and depicts 14 scenes from the IV and VI. Bad news for all you Jar Jar Binks fans, though: Lego Jar Jar is not included in this set.Villa Savoye via MakeDeath Star

I'm putting together a few kits to make a LEGO Candy Dispenser. LEGO is usually pretty expensive but I'm trying really hard to make them all reasonably priced so I'm still working out what to charge for them.  My real question though is whether or not LEGO kits would have much demand. I would like to put together kits based off of my other Instructable projects like Bendy Lego because I know it can be difficult/pricey to get enough pieces for projects like that in the traditional way.  Any feedback about kits you would like to see made, either from projects I have already posted or something entirely new, or any tips would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks for reading and be sure to keep a lookout for the candy dispenser kits which I'll try to post by the end of this week. 

LEGO and Star Wars fans, get ready to have your mind blown! Flickr member Marshal Banana has created a scale replica of the iconic Sandcrawler, as seen in A New Hope. There are LED's inside and out, faux weathered exterior, an operable ramp that drops down and even a crane that can lift cargo and place it on a conveyor belt inside. And yes, it moves. The entire project took 9 months to plan and build. Here's some quick facts about the project, taken from his YouTube video page: Dimensions: 96 cm long, 100.5 cm long (lowered main ramp) Weight: ~20 kg Part count: over 10,000 Power functions: 4 xl motors, 5 m motors, 4 receivers, 4 battery packs, 22 Lego LED-lights Powered radio-controlled Functions: driving: forward reverse steering main ramp: up and down crane: up and down, in and out conveyer band: forward and reverse You can check out his Marshal Banana's Flickr page and see some amazing pictures of the inside of the Sandcrawler, as well as some of his other work.

Dude we REALLY need more lego guns on this group. only one of 100 is lego!

Hello instructables fans! It has come to my attention that a lot of people like LEGOs at this site, so... I am giving away wallpapers, avatars, and for the younger ones coloring pages! Just PM me if you want them. Oh yeah, I almost forgot... I am aslo giving away stickers!!! Below is a preview of an avatar and a wallpaper.

Where can I get cheap Legos they don't have to be sets

Well knex or lego? i think i already know whats going to be more popular lego but for me its knex Whats your favorite

There has been alot of k'nex gun instructables but no lego guns. i was just wondering if someone could try to make a functional lego gun and put a post on it?

I will be hosting a star wars Lego contest. the winner will receive 3 brand new star wars Lego sets and 50 dollars. you will only be able to use the pieces from this set to make it here is the link http://www.brickset.com/detail.aspx?Set=7668-1]http://www.brickset.com/detail.aspx?Set=7668-1. you may use up to for sets to make it. starting October 2nd. the winner will be decided by design, instructions and earliness of sending it in. to enter send me a link to the instructable. start biulding ends at october 9th

Worthy of $40 in a competition, apparently.

Free Games. Check out what I have been building lately!

What is this piece? it is two by two platforms joined by a span roughly 3 cm and flat like a baseplate, meaning there's no interlock mechanism underneath. The plastic looks like glow in the dark plastic.

Ok, so this is what I cane up with. I used some custom decals and a black Sharpie. The first one is an American Spec Ops soldier, named Reaper. The second one is a British Spec Ops soldier named Omega.

My 8 year old just got a lego mindstorm and we need help with what to make and programming. He has a creative mumma (artsy fartsy) and a mechanic dad. any help or ideas would be great. Thanks

This knitting machine is made entirely of Legos!Maybe not the fastest way to knit (unless they really slowed down the video), but awesome nonetheless.Check out the sweet video and other projects they've worked on! via: Lion Brand Yarn

I found this in my Lego collection and I don't know what it is. Any help appreciated.

Just what it says - a CNC machine built from Lego! From YouTube via Notcot.

This LEGO animation has been bouncing all over the Interwebs this weekend. It's pretty stunning stuff since it was all done with LEGO and by one person who clocked 1,500 hours on it. It goes to show how much you can do with a pile of LEGO and a regular digital camera.That all said, the video is still a little slow and can do with about a minute less footage. So I'm definitely curious to see the next video from these guys in another year or so.

What do you like more, or what did you like more as a kidLego or KnexPersonally i like lego as i think it looks more realistic and i played for days on end when i was younger, also knex is mainly used for guns and occasionally big buildings, but with lego you can make entire worlds!!So far its 5 lego / 3 knex

I went to toysrus looking for a present for a cousin and OH my gosh! Knex has Lego men, I knew they had lego like pieces but this is a step to far, I dont even recognize  knex anymore, years ago there was a whole isle to the stuff and it had a tall feris wheel on display, now its reduced to the section in between mega blocks and all the lego recycled idea (power miner < rock raiders, atlantis, they did an underwater one before) with only half a shelf and NO tubs other then the cheap filled with tons of bricks What has happend????? 

This LEGO rifle by Jack Streat at MOCpages.com is pretty awesome. If there was ever any ideal way to shoot LEGO bricks, this would be it. Even the creator is impressed: This is by far the best rifle i have ever made. it is a working magazine-fed rifle in bolt action configuration, with detachable magazines, sniper scope and bi-pod. Check out the video to see it in action and the link below for a lot more pics. Lee Enfield Bolt Action Sniper Rifle via Neatorama

Working on a pull back sprig powered gun that shoot lego pins with shells that eject. i trying to make it look like a desert eagle. need opions when i finish it to know what to change

I was thinking about entering the lego contest recently put up, yet what I had in mind was a creation made with bionicles. No entries have ever used bionicles before and I didn't want to enter mine just in case it was a "strictly lego blocks" kinda thing.  What do you guys think?

I play http://www.roblox.com/User.aspx?ID=593721&userid;=593721&rbx;_source=ambassador&rbx;_medium=Direct&rbx;_campaign=ambpro">ROBLOX>! as pantalaimonpan at the good hangout ROBLOX

PLEASE SOMEONE POST THIS GUN HERES THE VID OF IT AND ONE OF THE TRIGGER MECANISEMS (spelled wrong I know)please http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=277710

Does anyone here make stop motions? I made my first one today. The program I used was called FrameByFrame. It's easy to use, but it destroyed the quality of the pictures.

   Does anyone remember the old game from LEGO, Stormrunner? Where you have to control an RCX to discover what happened to your ship. Well, I just noticed it was kicked of lego.com, and started googling trying to find it. No other site has it, does anyone know where it is.... Or does anyone think that Lego should bring it back?

I just thought that the Lego-ers (?) would like to know about Ldraw, open source CAD software specifically for designing Lego models. Have a look at this BBC News story to see a chap who built a model of St Pancras' railway station to a scale suitable for minifigs. Of course, you may not wish to go "open" with your software (I doubt that Ldraw has been as thoroughly debugged as Firefox, for instance), so you may with to use the official Lego CAD software. 

... or at least detect the debris of smashed particles with Lego: The LHC scientists do not yet have enough data to claim a discovery. But in the meantime, at home in Copenhagen, one physicist Sascha Mehlhase from the Niels Bohr Institute has made a part of the collider, the Atlas detector, out of LEGO toy bricks. »It took me about 48 hours to build the 3D model on my laptop and another 33 hours to actually put together all the pieces, this whole process spread out over several weeks,« explains Sascha. The model is made of 9,500 lego bricks and is about 1:50 in scale. There is no construction manual yet, but there will soon be one, he says on his website. The model is very intricate, even showing the innermost pixel detector. University Post article. Gallery of images.

The last Lego forum thread I started went down a storm so when I saw this Lego printer online at BoingBoing today I HAD to post it too. YouTube user Horseattack posted this video a few days ago of a printer that he made using Lego to move a felt tip pen across the page. He doesn't give much detail about how it was made or any instructions on how to do it, but the video is pure awesome. Here's what he had to say about it in the video description: "Lego felt tip 110" printer connected to an Apple Mac. This is not a kit you can buy and does not use mindstorms. I designed/built/coded it all from scratch including analog motor electronics, sensors and printer driver, the USB interface uses a "wiring" board.

 Babbage never got a chance to build his difference engine. Ironically it is considered one of the most advanced and is arguably the most famous of these old mechanical computers. One was eventually made in 1991  for the Science Museum in London. Don't live in London? Too far to drive? Well, no worries, Andrew Carol has built a working difference engine from LEGO's and with a kind donation of server space from Steve Wozniak, he's posted a very detailed explanation of his project so you can build one too! acarol.woz.org/

Do you have knex that are unwanted? Do you want legoes, and have a lot of knex? Are you willing to trade equal amounts of legoes for knex? 1:1 Knex to legos. You send Knex, I send Legos.

Two 17 year old Canadian Grade 12 students sent a Lego man into space and captured the entire 97 minute flight on video. The helium filled balloon used to send the Lego man (with Canadian Flag in hand) to space reached 24 kilometers above sea level. (almost 15 miles).

Well, today I went along with Caitlin's school robotics club to see them participate in qualifying rounds in order to advance to the New York City city-wide champs. Woot, they made it enough in the rankings to advance and fun was had by all. It was my first time at one of these things and it was pretty well organized considering the number of teams shuttling back and forth between rooms to do the robotics challenges/missions and presentations to judges. Kids use Lego Mindstorm NXT robot kits and build/program them to accomplish a list of tasks to be performed in the "pit". Of course, everything can go wrong from your batteries not being charged, pieces falling apart, programs not working, forgetting the laptop charger, and worrying about the school bus making it home before the snow storm. Fourth graders did research projects and presentations on how robotics impacted environmental issues. Fourth and fifth grader teams did the robot challenges and presented their robots to the judges. The FIRST program is really to have fun while using technology, learn something, and to develop teamwork and good sportsmanship. One of our teachers even wrote up a school cheer and song just for Robotics. The second pic is of another school who happened to have a live team mascot(where else can you wear a propeller beanie and be proud?). The amount of geek-strogen present was incredible. This happened to be Tetranitrate's stomping grounds but I didn't find any evidence of charred walls. I might just have to make Robohoodies for all the kids when they compete again in March. Anyone else out there doing Lego FIRST robotic league?

Ive made an uzi,bazooka,and shotgun

Enginethis isnt my site but here are instructions for a lego steam engine

One day i decided to take out my tonnes of lego i had in my attic and after seeing a star wars lego hailfire droid selling for £100! i decided to make my own models, i also noticed that the models that were being sold by lego didnt use many original parts, so i have made my models and shall i post them? your call!

Now i was cleaning up my room and found this lego generator. So i opened up the lego block and got the generator.I don't know any of the specs for it, and don't have a multimeter or something handy to test the out put.I assume the black thing is the capacitor, it has this written on it:15BC437Some is hidden against the casing of the generator.What's the point of the magnet i move around in the video?Well aswell as helping me with that is there anything i could use this for?Video:Pictures:(Which is side is + and - ?)

I had broke my battery box and

I built a lego ipod case, dock, and speakers. I want to see if you can top me! pictures coming soon
