This is a rendering of Link and some of his various swords/weapons (more after the jump) created by LEGO/Zelda lover Michael Inglis. Michael has actually been 3-D printing his own Zelda accessories for awhile, but hopes LEGO and Nintendo might rub butts in the future and produce some real, licensed playsets. OMG, yes! Then — THEN — they could make a LEGO Zelda video game but instead of being 3-D like the rest of them will be an HD reboot of the original AAAAAH BONER BONER BONER. Hit the jump for some more accessories, a stop-motion LEGO/Zelda movie Michael made a couple years ago, as well as the link to the “petition” which LEGO will review if it collects 10,000 likes.

LEGO, realizing they dun goofed targeting their entire product line to boys , is releasing a line of playsets in 2012 targeted specifically to little ladies. It’s called ‘Friends’, which is a terrible name but I can look past that because I just saw a guy pushing an ice cream cart like a block further. *running out the door* Mickey face and an orange push-pop! Lego Friends features five female minifig characters who are — you guessed it — friends. Their occupations include designer, musician, veterinarian and inventor, and there are playsets for both home and work. Hey, anything’s better than playing with Barbie, amirite? WRONG. I know a lot of people want to give Barbie a bad rap for her unrealistic proportions and shit, but come on, I had some beefy looking G.I. Joe’s growing up and I’m fat as f*** right now. Never once have I starved myself or worked out in a gym. That’s all true. Besides, there are plenty of other things worse for a girl to be playing with. Namely: matches or a parent’s handgun. Food for thought. “You’re retarded.” They said only borderline! Hit the jump for a sampling of the future sets.

Because LEGO and Christmas go together like stirring peas & corn into instant mashed potatoes (aka shitter’s pie), a 33-ft LEGO Christmas tree was erected in London’s St Pancras (the patron saint of internal organs) station. And this is it. It’s tall and plastic. Me? I’m short and fleshy . Kidding, I’m tall and as handsome as a penis wearing a bow-tie. “And tuxedo?” Okay now you’re just being ridiculous. Hit the jump for a ton more pictures, at least one of which features an annoyed looking girl on a cell phone. It’s like a really shitty Where’s Waldo!

When LEGOLand California General Manager Peter Rochetti came out to the parking lot to leave work for the day he found out his Volvo SUV had been replaced with a nonfunctional LEGO version. “Oh you guys! Are you guys messing with me again?! Because if I find out you actually sold my car and replaced it with a LEGO one I WILL F***ING FIRE YOU ALL AND BURN YOUR HOUSES TO ASH!!!! I think he had cocktails at lunch. The blue beauty was made of 201,760 pieces of lego and weighed 2,934 pounds, reports the LA Times. I love how he tries the door handle. Peter, please tell me you just wanted to see if there was an interior and not because you thought it was a real car. Because, I’m not gonna lie, that would be a bad sign for a guy running a multi-million dollar business. Also, “Don’t bother coming to work tomorrow.” Hit the jump for the short video.

In other loosely related ‘things with wheels’ news, here’s a model of a bicycle made entirely out of LEGO bricks that was spotted by LEGOmaniac (and Flickr user) Brickapolis on display at North Carolina’s Brickmagic modular plastic block festival. As you can see, it completely defies the laws of physics. Nice try guys, but I know a bunch of LEGO blocks glued to a real bike when I see one! Also, looks like the back tire’s valve cap fell off. You might wanna pick that up before I decide to put it in my mouth. Hit the jump for a couple more shots of the impressiveness.

Today marks the 25th birthday of Tetris . In its quarter century of service it has been responsible for thirty googlejillion man hours of gameplay and countless drops in productivity. I know I got fired for playing at work once. You here that, the man? YOU CAN’T HOLD ME DOWN! Happy Birthday, Tetris, this long piece is for you. And by long piece I mean 40. A GLUGLULGLULAGLUG! At 25, `Tetris’ drops into place as gaming icon [yahoonews] Thanks to Pat, Watch-303, catch22 and /Eyeroll, who don’t even bother working at work anymore.

In an attempt to create the world’s longest self-supporting LEGO bridge , a group of LEGOphiles in Australia have constructed this 46-foot long behemoth as part of the 2009 Australia Model Railway Expo. Now I’m not suggesting we start building real bridges out of LEGO, but I mean, we definitely should. And, to give you an idea of just how large this thing is, it’s 46-feet . That’s like ten of my penises laid out. Widthwise . Lad– no? Hit the jump for two more shots.
