The LEGO® Brand values
Imagination:
Curiosity asks, ”Why?” and imagines explanations or possibilities (if.. then). Playfulness asks what if? and imagines how the ordinary becomes extraordinary, fantasy or fiction. Dreaming it is a first step towards doing it.

David Beckham wants to be a professional LEGO builder
We generally don’t highlight celebrities talking about LEGO (OMG! Brad Pitt likes LEGO! He even builds on his own, without his kids!!!), but this one is kind of sweet.
Quoth Becks:
“What would I like to do if I wasn’t a footballer? I love drawing cartoons and building Lego with my sons.
“This is going to make me sound really weird but when I was in Milan I had such a big amount of spare time. I found online that you can buy a Lego model of the Taj Mahal
so I bought it and started building it, I only built some of it because I got injured halfway through.
“I know it’s not a career but I love doing it and would like to be a professional Lego builder. My boys are the same, they’re obsessed with it.
“Football has affected my family in an unbelievable way, to travel to so many places, if I’d done something else like been a Lego builder, I wouldn’t have been able to do anything like that.”
What David doesn’t realize is that LEGO builders do indeed travel the globe on top secret missions for The Brick, hang out with Hollywood celebrities, and can generally out-hooligan even the most bad-ass of soccer fans.
It’s not too late to join us, David! I’ll buy you a Pepsi myself if you come to BrickCon.
(Via Dirty Tackle, with a hat-tip to Mrs. Dunechaser — who I love for continuing to read a soccer blog after the end of the World Cup.)

Yellow is a hard color to use in realistic buildings in my opinion, but Flickr user georgivar obviously had no trouble doing that. Added with the white brick corners and second story balconies, this building makes for a really nice European style structure. Great job on this one!
Mecha carrier deploys death from above
Kyle Vrieze (bermudafreze) displayed this deadly beauty of a SHIP at Brickworld. Unlike other ships, it carries combat cargo. Watch out ground forces, the last thing you might see is its shadow above your head.
