Master Model Builder search

As one of the challenges in searching for new Master Model Builders, candidates had a free build to make something that could be found in the Legoland park. Adam (?) came up with this monument (photo credit to Mariann Asanuma). BTW, Mariann gives a much more detailed account of the process on her blog.

Ice on fire

The 20th build challenge over on Lugnuts was called Fire and Ice. Once again, Lino Martins and Nathan Proudlove teamed up to give us Lino's tricked out 1970 Ford Pinto (an explosive car with an explosive color scheme and Nathan's uber-cool Brain Freeze.

Nevermind

Apparently Legoland California will not be adding Michael Jackson to their miniland display after all. I'm guessing a lawyer from the Jackson estate objected to the use of his image unless Legoland paid them a hefty fee. Or maybe someone at Legoland thought that with Michael's, um, legal difficulties, it might not be so appropriate to include him in a children's attraction.

King of pop coming to Legoland

According to the LA Times, Legoland California is going to be adding a 4-inch Michael Jackson to their miniland display. The San Diego Union-Trib added some details - at first they were going with a Thriller version, but decided instead to let the fans decide. Go to the CNN I-Report story (narrated by Eric Hunter, btw) to give your input on which model they should use. Tomorrow they will add one of the five below to the Hollywood display at the park - apparently he'll be getting out of a limo outside of Grauman's Theater.

Congratulations, Ryan, and all new Master Builders!

Legoland California recently held a competition to hire new Master Builders. One of their new employees is Ryan Wood, aka Lights. His portfolio for his application included his family. Btw, taking photos with my daughter often ends up like this as well. Congratulations to Ryan and all of the new Legoland builders! I'll be blogging your work in miniland soon.

Esbjerg Train Station

RStanek recently went to Legoland (Billund?).



I guess they're filming a new Bionicle movie in the California section of the park:

Here comes the (LEGO) bride

When Joose007 and his new wife recently went to Florida on their honeymoon, they saw a rather appropriate model at the LEGO Imagination Center outside of Disney World.
