LoTR:LEGO Originals 106
kiddailey writes "What do you get when you combine standard Lego bricks with Lord of the Rings? A really cool version of Bag End that would make any LOTR and Lego geek as happy as Smeagol with a stomach full of fisheses. If only I could be so creative... or have so much spare time. Be sure to check out his whole gallery of cool lego builds."

Lego Bible stories! Even for non-religious types, the cool photography and often hilarious captions make for hours of entertainment.

Did the guy who made this really buy SIX Darth Maul [brickshelf.com] sets just so that he could make his little troop of Uruk-Hai?
I mean having that kind of time to spare is one thing, but it's obvious that he didn't just construct this out of bricks he had lying around. Those Star Wars sets are expensive.

Maybe a slashdot.txt file like robots.txt could be used to request that slashdot does/doesn't cache the site before submission.
Well, if I had gotten to the site in time, I would have mirrored it. Ho hum.

No, seriously, I loved legos when I was small, and I still have a passion for them, but I am however sick of all the hype around LoTR, seems the second generation Tolkien or whomever owns the right sold out about as much as Geroge Lucas did, but this is getting offtopic, so I'll end this here.
Btw, Mindworks rule!

I did really enjoy the movie though.
Re:Read the label (Score:1)
What has really gotten to me, more than all the hype is what I heard after seeing the movie:
1. I pity all of those who read the books, wasted their time on that, instead of just waiting for the movie.
2 [about the movie, from the row behind]. Typical Hollywood ending, always leaving it open for a sequal.
The last was actually more funny than annoying, they're the kind of people I'd like to throw a book at though.

Except where you said the headline blurb was an unfamiliar use of "cool" and it's a waste of time and money I guess.

I actually prefer this approach, because although some of the character design details aren't as well executed as in the posted article (this guy is using more generic legos), he's going much further overall, re-creating the story with approprately composed and lit photographs. Kick-ass!
Also, the humorous element of using legos is more apparent - the Moria "Watcher in the Water" is one of the funniest single images I saw on the web this year (yeah, I'm a Tolkien geek _and_ a lego geek. Watch out, ladies!)
BTW, this is part of a larger collection of fun lego pages, here's [ozbricks.net] the main directory.

I remember when I was a kid, getting a non cubic shaped lego out of the box was one of the biggest joys of my life.
Now all I see is parrots and sharks with only one 'lego hole' to attach them with. It takes away from all the interoperability of it...
Oh well... that's just a trend these days I guess.

A step-by-step breakdown (Score:1, Flamebait)
First we have an adult male (I think that's a fairly safe bet) with an unhealthy obsession with Tolkein.
Second, this person also still plays with Lego.
Third, he makes a hobbit hole out of Lego.
Next, he photographs it for his website.
Someone stumbles across said site, and thinks "Wow that's really cool! The guys on Slashdot will love this!" and he sends it in.
One of the Slashdot editors thinks "Wow! That is *so* cool! I'll put it on the front page!"
I spend five minutes of my life, that I can never have back, pointing this out.
This, people, is why computer geeks get laughed at.
