The Best Lego Builds of the Year [Best of 2010]

[techieguy]

We've seen some remarkable and imaginative projects this year employing the iconic blocks, here are a few of our favorites.

1. In Soviet Russia, Lego Can't Even Make Its Own Products Right For Its Ads


This is one of the best series of adverts I've ever clapped eyes on. Last month, Lego Russia released a series of ads showing some of its popular sets made up to be, well, not what they're meant to be.

2. The Lego Master Chief Helmet You Can Actually Wear


There is no limit to the wondrous nature of the Lego brick, as Ben Caulkins shows today: Behold, Master Chief's helmet made of Lego. It doesn't only look perfect, but you can actually wear it.

3. Lego ML-Explorer 01 Not Practical, But Beautiful


I can't see NASA clamoring to get this Lego design onto the Moon or Mars anytime soon, but man is it neat to look at when it gyrates across that glass table.

4. Lego, For the Love of the Brick Gods, MAKE THIS RC TANK


This Metal Slug-inspired tank is one of the nicest Lego constructions and RC toys I've ever seen. But what puts this in another league is how the builder-Peer Kreuger-used Lego RC camera cars to shoot this video.

5. Largest Lego Ship Ever Built Is Bigger Than Three Queen-Sized Beds


The 23-foot-long Lego USS Intrepid aircraft carrier should be renamed the USS Insane. It's the largest Lego ship ever built. Ed Diment made it to minifig scale, complete with Wildcat and Corsair airplanes built by Ralph Savelsberg.
