Hasta La Gadget!

Game of Thrones is awesome enough as it is. But it’s about to get awesomer thanks to LEGO hobbyists and builders who also happen to be fans of the show. Now, thanks to fans and hobbyists, some of the show’s memorable moments have been immortalized forever and recreated in LEGO.

Of course, GoT isn’t shy when it comes to the violence which sometimes borders on the absolutely gory. I think it’s safe to say that LEGO definitely tones down the gore factor a bit. Though in this scene where Jaime Lannister slays the Mad King, they still manage to spill blood.

And it wouldn’t be a Game of Thrones tribute if the actual Throne of Swords weren’t recreated in the building blocks that everyone loves so much, right?

And here’s the final scene we have for you. Take note of the high level detail on Tyrion Lannister as he bribes Mord to let him out of his sky cell.

The iron throne is made up of many many sharp swords, but what would a throne look like in a nerd kingdom? Well, it would probably look something like this Throne of Nerds, covered with keyboards everywhere.

This throne will not cut those who sit upon it. If anything the keys will provide some minimal cushioning for your backside. It was made by Mike DeWolfe, a computer programmer from Canada.

He warped the keyboards and even scorched almost all of the ESC keys to symbolize how impossible it can be escape suffering and blackness. Mike sounds like a cheery guy. I’m not living in his nerd kingdom. The only key that is left undamaged is the ESC key on the highest positioned keyboard.

In back, the keyboard cables have been arranged like human hair that is roughly braided, but not really. It is a tangle. This shows how good plans and order can degenerate into chaos. Or it’s just a cool chair made out of old keyboards. You decide.

Everyone in Westeros is fighting over the Iron Throne, which is kind of funny, since it looks like a very uncomfortable chair. Of course, the whole point is that he who sits on it should never do so comfortably. Never be comfortable with such power.

I prefer this Iron Throne cake. It is the throne without all of the responsibility and constant bleeding. This tasty throne was created by The Cake Geek, and it was made with chocolate, vanilla, strawberries and fondant sculpted into countless swords.

Have your throne and eat it too. That’s what Robert Baratheon always said. Or would have, if he had seen this cake.

Check out these new plush Direwolves. They are from a new line of Game of Thrones toys from Factory Entertainment. Aside from Direwolves, they will be offering plush dragon eggs, dragons and shield-shaped throw pillows as well as some prop replicas and sculptural miniatures.

The plush Direwolves are the best though. They are soft and cuddly and not dangerous at all. Ghost has red eyes. But as much as I like these soft Direwolves, I can’t help but want some plush White Walkers. That would be awesome. These wolves are pretty cool though. I would cuddle one if I were a Stark.

They were spotted at the recent New York Toy Fair, and should be available this Summer.

We still have to wait until March 31 for the new season of Game of Thrones, but that doesn’t mean that fans of the series and books that inspired it aren’t making good use of their downtime while waiting for its return. Take, for example, this tiny 3D printed version of Winterfell.

The miniature home of the Starks was fabricated on a MakerBot Replicator 2 3D printer using a 3D model which was made in Solidworks using screen grabs from the iconic opening sequence of the hit HBO show.

The teensy Winterfell model was created by maker damm301, and it’s quite detailed for its size – just over 3″ square. Best of all, you can download the .STL model file over at Thingiverse, so you can print your own. There’s two versions of the model – one with windows and doors, and the other without.

Perhaps between the 2013 and 2014 seasons, damm301 will have the time to model the rest of Westeros – or at least just King’s Landing.
