LEGO mecha: from bricks to battle

Offbeat By Shay

I’ve recently rediscovered the joy of building with LEGOS. It’s a world where you can build anything you want. Where the only limit is how many bricks you have.

Mecha (and hardsuits) are some of the coolest and most popular custom creations. Additionally, the anime-inspired LEGO Exo-force theme is all about mecha.

There are a variety of LEGO groups on Flickr and quite a few LEGO mecha groups. Practically every creation in the group pools is stunning.

    dude, i love legos so much you can’t even imagine…. actually after resisting for so long, i’ve finally started buying some again – the only problem is they’re so damn expensive, especially the Technic line that I like… on the plus side, they have all sorts of cool gears and motors (and remote controls! FINALLY! you have no idea how long i wished for legos to have remote controls when i was a kid) and stuff now that they either didn’t have (or I couldn’t afford) when i was younger….
