Inside tour
Barman went to Legoland Billund for the annual inside tour. He's got a great gallery of pics from their Miniland. BTW, not really relevant to this blog, but it looks like participants got a special limited edition set of Ole Kirk's house.

Model Shop
Blockparadise got to go on a tour of the Legoland California Model Shop. I love these little glimpses into what the park model builders are doing. I just wish we could see good pics of every one of the models crammed around shelves and workspaces.
BTW, note the miniland scale model of this guy.

Begun this [miniland] clone wars is...
I found this over at TBB and must say Ochre Jelly has done it again. This time he takes on the Clone Wars. Some nice action here. And the lightsaber effect is quite interesting . He's got more pictures and figures over at his blog. Its worth a look.

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.
