Lego Transformers (aka, Jim has a Geekgasm)The not-a-raffle has raised more than $900 for rape crisis centers so far! I’ll be picking a winner on 4/16, which means there’s still time for us to push that amount past the $1000 mark. # There was more I intended to blog about today, but none of that matters anymore, because I have seen this:
A Flickr user named Orion Pax built Optimus Prime out of Lego. A transforming Optimus Prime. Click the pic or this link for the full set of Pax’s Lego Transformers. Oh yes, I said Transformers plural, including Grimlock, Soundwave, Starscream … I think I’m in love. My over-the-top squeeing aside, check out the details on this thing. I didn’t even believe it was all Lego at first. Prime’s fingers? Blue legs from minifigs. Windshield wipers are a pair of Lego harpoon guns. The gun, the matrix, Roller … I just … wow. I now know what I want for my birthday next week. 10 comments to Lego Transformers (aka, Jim has a Geekgasm) |

Happy early birthday, Jim! I want to see pictures of a Jig cake…
Thanks! A Jig cake could be fun. Ooh — with a little Smudge cupcake. We could use licorice for Smudge’s legs…
Built from scratch? Now that’s what I call awesome.
Yep. I can tell they used the Masterpiece Optimus Prime toy as a model (because I’m just that geeky), but to recreate it so closely … wow.
My boyfriend is so getting this for his B-day too.
I think my ability to string sentences together has been disturbed by my awe for the Lego Transformer. My previous comment makes me sound like a brainless 16-year old.
Perfectly understandable in this situation
First-time commenter here, yes, but I couldn’t help but comment on this.
For this may just be the sum of all that is true and good in the world.
::Grin:: Pics like these are why the Internet was invented!

This is me speechless and drooling on the keyboard…
