Brooklyn Nine-Nine by BenFankhauser is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The 1,500 piece build is a more polished version the same project that also reached the goal back in 2021 and 2023 which features a layout of the 99th precinct. The project joins Spirited Away, Appa the Sky Bison, from Avatar the Last Airbender, Venus Flytrap, Minerals Display, Dreamworks’ Shrek’s Swamp 2, Hello Kitty and Friends – 50 Years, Dr. Seuss’s The Grinch, Medieval Tournament, Cherry Blossom Ikebana, Roman Forum, Interstellar, Metallica M72 World Tour, Suitcase Express!, Outer Wilds, Medieval inn by the Gatehouse, and Clockwork Solar System as the ones to reach the First 2024 Review Stage.

The Lord of the Rings is an extremely popular series of books and films—and for good reason. The world of Middle Earth is incredibly detailed and immersive, and I would argue that no other fantasy book has managed to capture that same scale. However, what some casual fans may not realize is that The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings aren’t Tolkien’s only works set in the world of Middle Earth. In fact, they’re preceded by thousands of years of history, much of which is recorded in The Silmarillion.

Could it change the way we build MOCs and truly break barriers for accessibility? Was effortless image spam disheartening MOC builders or just plain drowning them out with Instagram’s algorithm? Good, bad, or ugly, AI has multiple sides—and you know me, I love to sit back and pontificate from the safety of a keyboard on tough topics. So I’m going to try my hand at answering the question: what does the future hold for LEGO fans? Could AI replace human creation of LEGO MOCs or even official sets? AI and LEGO is this the first AI-generated physical LEGO build? Let’s begin with the obvious: right now, AI doesn’t understand the LEGO system. While some AI software can generate images that share...

LEGO customizer EclipseGRAFX mostly focuses on high-quality custom prints. Their new items include a large variety of custom-printed cereal boxes. These are excellent additions to a LEGO City […]Original linkOriginal author: Thita (admin)
