Lego June Edition: Brick Facts!
"The name 'LEGO' is an abbreviation of the two Danish words "leg godt", meaning "play well". It’s our name and it’s our ideal.
The LEGO Group was founded in 1932 by Ole Kirk Kristiansen. The company has passed from father to son and is now owned by Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen, a grandchild of the founder.
It has come a long way over the past almost 80 years - from a small carpenter’s workshop to a modern, global enterprise that is now one of the world’s largest manufacturer of toys.
The LEGO brick is our most important product. This is why we are proud to have been named twice – “Toy of the Century”. Our products have undergone extensive development over the years – but the foundation remains the traditional LEGO brick.
The brick in its present form was launched in 1958. The interlocking principle with its tubes makes it unique, and offers unlimited building possibilities. It's just a matter of getting the imagination going – and letting a wealth of creative ideas emerge through play."

Emmet's Barbeque Breakdown~ A stop motion
I thought I would put that LEGO BBQ I made earlier to good use, and made a stop motion. I took me a long time to make this. It took 2 hours and 24 minutes to do the building and filming, plus another hour to put it all into a video. so, 3 hours and 24 minutes in total. I hope you like it!

Lego Creation~Barbeque! Part 2 (Includes answer to last "Guess the Minifigure")
(Continuation of last post)
I hope you liked that tutorial! If you liked it, please leave a comment telling me so. Also, please take a minute to take our survey. There is a tab at the top of the blog saying "Survey" Thanks!
Oh, plus! The answer to the mystery minifigure was:
Get another 2x4 plate and place it on the right side of the BBQ |
Get a 2x4 plate and place it on the left side |
now push that aside and get a whatever this is called. It is a flat curvy thing |
get a 1x4 plate and place it on the side that is lower than the others |
now get a 1x4 brick and place it on the left side (I later changed the white pieces to gray) |
another 1x4 brick on the right |
two 1x2's side by side on the last remaining edge |
Get two more 1x2 bricks and put them on the lower side to make all the edges the same height |
now get one of these and place it one pair of the 1x2 bricks. |
it should look like this |
now attach it to the back of the BBQ so it looks like an open lid |
now get these 1x2 grill plates and place them from left to right covering the lower surface of the grill. |
It should look like this |
Now get two 1x2 plate with an indented stud in the middle and place them in the center of the 2x4 plate |
This will make an extra cooking spot. |
Now add a few grilling accessories to this handy piece |
Voila! (i added a little propane bottle on the bottom of the grill) Of course, this grill is a little too big for minifigs, so i put mine on stilts! Just add some food to the grill! |
Ahh! A nice relaxing scene. (P.S: The minifig on the left is holding a Bricka-Cola made by Eclipse Grafx Bricks. Check them out!) (P.P.S: That piece of meat on the extra cooker is a piece of bacon also made by Eclipse Grafx Bricks) |
Oh, plus! The answer to the mystery minifigure was:
Kai from Ninjago! |

Lego Creation~Barbeque! Part 1
It's almost that time of year (for Americans) 4th of July! Grilling hotdogs, playing outside, eating to your hearts (or maybe stomachs?) content. So I thought I should make a barbeque! Here is the tutorial (you can change the colors or pieces, if you like)
Here is the barbeque! |
This is the supply list (hopefully you can see it well) |
Begin with a 4x6 plate |
Get three red 1x1 cylinders and connect them one on top of the other. |
this is how it should look with them all connected |
Add this to one corner of your BBQ. This will be a leg |
Now get a whatever this piece is called and connect it on the corner across from the three cylinders. |
move your BBQ aside and get a round red 2x2 and connect it to the top of a regular 2x2 |
grab a pair of wheels and connect it to the bottom |
put this on the bottom of your BBQ |
now grab a 1x4 plate and connect it to your BBQ according to the picture. |
That is all for right now. Something is up with my computer, and I can't add any more photos. Part 2 will be up shortly.
(ps. I am trying something new. i think whoever does the post should end with their custom minifigure)
So Long for now! ~Angie (This is my custom minifigure, not me) |

The Lego Movie 70802 Bad Cop's Pursuit-Review
Hello guys! Angie here! Today I decided to review my favorite set I own, Bad Cop's Pursuit from the Lego Movie!
So that was that! This set is really cool, full of details and awesome features (Everything is Awesome starts playing in the background) Well, good bye for now! Have an awesome day!
~Angie
The set |
Emmet's front (Brave/determined face) |
Emmet's front (scared/screaming face) |
Emmet's right side |
Emmet's back |
Emmet's left side |
Bad Cop's front |
Good Cop's front (Same minifigure as the last picture, this is just the other side of his head) |
Bad/Good cop's right side |
Bad/Good Cop's back |
The bridge |
Cool Feature! When you pull the red stick, the front of the bridge falls |
I like this cute detail they put under the bridge. |
Another nice detail |
Bad Cop's ship. This is my favorite par of the set, as it has many opening and closing features. |
Secret canons! When you lift the side's of the ship, these canons pop out. |
Opening door on the top to put Bad/Good Cop into his seat. |
View from the front |
View from the front with canons open. This looks amazing! |
Almost forgot! These amazing Robo Crocs look fantastic! (I put the crocs on a blue board for more contrast) |
I think these crocs give the set a nice touch Emmet: Nice?!?! This isn't nice!!! Me: Opps. Sorry Emmet! (This set does not include the green board on the bottom) |
