"The word LEGO® is a brand name and is very special to all of us in the LEGO Group Companies. We would sincerely like your help in keeping it special. Please always refer to our bricks as 'LEGO Bricks or Toys' and not 'LEGOS.' By doing so, you will be helping to protect and preserve a brand of which we are very proud and that stands for quality the world over. Thank you! Susan Williams, Consumer Services."..........................................
Dear Susan Williams,
It is with dire embarrassment (and shame) to admit the sole LEGO room in FriendFeed has an "s", since LEGO was already taken by an individual who DOESN'T EVEN USE THE ACCOUNT!!!!! Thank you kindly for your understanding. Regards, Admin
From Adrian Drake: "I decided to skip ahead to 2003 from the current 2000 for this MOC, since it's Thanksgiving tomorrow and it seemed appropriate. This weaponized Turkey mech has always been one of my favorite creations, as it's both whimsical and technically elaborate. It doesn't have quite the polish that modern creations have, but I think it can certainly hold its own with today's building styles." - Mark Trapp

"The debates are over, and we're in the home stretch to election day. Since campaign ads are obviously full of crap, that means the only ways left to decide who you should vote for are Photoshop and Lego. Built at what OJ calls "marionette scale," Lego Sarah Palin is maverick enough to field interviews from Lego Katie Couric, debate Lego Joe Biden and say "no thanks" to Lego bridges to nowhere. [Ochre Jelly via Brothers Brick]" - Chris W

From Gizmodo: "I don't know what can I say about this gigantic 80,000-brick Lego Ferrari model except that 1) it's amazing, 2) it's a blow up of the Ferrari F1 Racer 1:8 that I bought earlier this year in my trip to Lego's Factory, and 3) it was made in Legoland Netherlands for a special event that started yesterday." - Mark Trapp

From Gizmodo: "This is a 20-foot-long Lego model of the HMS Hood, a Royal Navy battlecruiser built in 1920 and sunk by the German Kriegsmarine Battleship Bismarck in 1941. This stunning piece of brick engineering, built to minifig scale, has a robotized mast and is actually bigger than the 16.4-foot-long Lego U.S.S. Harry S. Truman." - Mark Trapp

Almost as much as the Snowspeeder, I love this. I don’t know what went in the bottom but there is a hatch which must have held something. I must admit I have used this in my lame attempt of making short little movies. Unfortunately (or mercifully) there were lost in the Great Hard Drive Crash of 2004… - Johnny Worthington
"I don’t know when I got this, or from whom, but my Mother informs me that I took this thing everywhere since I was 7. She also informs me that one day I choose to speak only in R2D2’s clicks and whistles. This apparently only lasted for 4 hours until she refused to make me lunch until I spoke like a human again." - Johnny Worthington
"Next on my list is my Empire Strikes Back Snowspeeder. I got this from my Grandparents for my 5th birthday (1985). Along with my small Imperial Star Destroyer, I made all the laser and phew-phew sounds until I drove my family crazy." - Johnny Worthington
From Gizmodo: "For die-hard Yankee's fans like myself, this has definitely been a year to forget. I think everyone would agree that the season itself was a total disaster, and I'm sure that there are a lot of people that are sad to see the old stadium go. Lego artist Sean Kenney is one of those people, which is why he and a Manhattan grade schooler spent three years building a 60" x 66" x 14" replica (1:150 scale) using 45,700 bricks." - Mark Trapp

From the Brothers Brick: "As several of us spend more time away from the computer getting ready for BrickCon in less than two weeks, the creations we don’t blog begin to stack up. But remember, The Brothers Brick is not the only LEGO blog on the net!
I believe the LEGO blogosphere is better when there are lots of us out there highlighting our favorite LEGO creations and linking to each other. For those of you who are readers, though, all those links in our side bar probably look pretty overwhelming. Where to start?" - Mark Trapp

From the Brothers Brick: "If there was any doubt of the superior firepower fielded by the Royal Austrian Mechanized Military, Peter Morris lays such doubts to rest. Permanently." - Mark Trapp
