Posted in: Today's Chili

Simpsons fans will be happy with this news. LEGO just announced this line of LEGO Simpsons minifigs which will release on May 4th to coincide with a special Simpsons LEGO episode on FOX.

They are $4 each. All of your favorites are here with their accessories. They look pretty awesome, with some super detail. Sadly, you can’t get the set as a whole. The figures will come blind-bagged, meaning that you don’t know who you’re getting. I hope I get Itchy and Scratchy so I can make my own demented cartoons.

I’ll probably end up getting Millhouse or Ralph Wiggum and then since I’m too cheap that will be it. Oh well. Wait, there’s no Comic Book Guy?

University of Canterbury’s researcher Christopher Bartneck has made an obvious discovery: Lego minifigs are not as happy now as they were 25 years ago, when all their iconic, cleanly designed faces were happy. Now they are mostly a mess—including facial expressions of anger, doubt, sadness or fear.

LEGO The Dark Knight Rises Minifigures Rise

Posted in: Today's Chili

Give your minifigs the hero they deserve – and the villain they don’t – with these official The Dark Knight Rises minifigures. They’re far from the first minifigs of Batman or even Bane, but they are the only ones officially based on the movie. In fact, they’re so faithful to the movie that you’ll have a hard time understanding minifig Bane.

These minifigs will make your LEGO trailers more convincing.

Or not. I don’t really know where minifig enthusiasts go to get the latest releases, but they’re not available on the LEGO store yet. I’m sure they’ll show up soon enough. Or maybe we need to build a minifig Bat Signal to call them.

OLED Lego train station emerges from Adafruit and Arduino gear, minifigs to get home on time

OLED Lego train station emerges from Adafruit and Arduino gear, minifigs to get home on time

Who knew Lego characters had to be somewhere in a hurry? Adafruit did, as it just whipped up a minifig-sized train schedule. The invention mates one of Adafruit’s own 1-inch OLED boards with an Arduino Uno controlling the schedule behind the scenes. It looks to be a straightforward project for the DIY types, although the display is currently all show: the schedule doesn’t (yet) pair up with the train tracks to automatically let your minifigs know if their trip to the pirate spaceship castle has been delayed by ghosts. You can check the source link for the full instructions. Duplo builders, alas, are kept out of the loop.
