80s Pop Culture LEGO Vehicles: Ridin’ Retro

Posted in: Today's Chili

There were a lot of cool cars in 1980s TV shows and movies. We must have been obsessed with cars in that era, because you don’t get these sort of iconic rides anymore. Ralph from Brothers Brick has created some awesome homages to TV and movie vehicles of that era and they look amazing.

They look so good, I wish we could buy each as a set and put them together ourselves. These cars even have LEGO characters to go with them. All of our favorites are here: the GMC Vandura from The A-Team, Ecto-1 from Ghostbusters, KITT from Knight Rider, and The General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard.

LEGO R/C A-Team Van: I Pity the Fool Who Doesn’t Have This

Posted in: Today's Chili

In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn’t commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire… The A-Team. If you can’t hire them, at least you could build your own A-Team LEGO R/C van.

This A-Team RC LEGO Van was made by Vimal Patel, a LEGO building maniac from New Zealand, who has created numerous other LEGO masterpieces in the past. This van is built entirely from LEGO bricks. Everything except for the battery, the circuitry and the IR sensor, that is. Check out out in action in the video clip below:

Please Lego, You Must Make This A-Team Van

Posted in: Today's Chili

The Lego Back to the Future set went official last year. Now it’s time for another classic from the 80s: the A-Team van. Unlike the Back to the Future set, this one is a fully functional, remote controlled Technic model—which is even better. i love when a set comes together. Please Vimal Patel, submit this to Cuusoo ASAP. [YouTube via Brothers Brick] More »
