I will never get tired of LEGO. I’ve always dug (digged?) the space and castle themes, and now they have this one that is just awesome. It’s steampunky British and American stereotypes (and one possibly Chinese woman with an f’in’ SPEAR in her HAIR, who evidently practices “broomstickajutsu”) fighting against classic Hollywood-Halloweeny monsters. There is nothing about this that isn’t great.
You can’t argue with a ghost who has his own grandfather clock. That shit is hardcore.
I haven’t really kept up with LEGO canon, but I have thought all the community developed stuff (http://lego.cuusoo.com) and some of the non-traditional LEGO projects (brick bending, rubik’s cube solvers, pancake makers, etc) have really done a good bit to keep LEGOs relavant.
HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS?? This CUUSOO stuff is wicked. Do they actually get made into sets? It looks like some of them do, if there’s enough support. Crowdsourcing really is the future if Lego is doing it.
