We here on autoevolution are not into gaming consoles. I mean, of course we are, as we like to play video games just as much as the next guy, but we're not in the habit of writing about them. What we have here, though, is too good to pass. I'm not bringing you a console per se, but a replica of it. A life-size replica of it, that is, made in plastic bricks, but not of the LEGO kind. No, these are…
It is obvious that, driven by consumer preferences, LEGO favors some designs that replicate vehicles more than others. For instance, there are countless carmakers out there that are not yet represented in any plastic brick form, all while the Danish toymaker seems obsessed with Batmobiles. There are no less than five Batmobile sets offered in various ( continue reading... )
I reckon it's not unheard of in the world of LEGO Ideas for a project that didn't make the cut the first time to be resubmitted for public voting again. It certainly isn't against the rules, and that's a big help for fan designers who know they are on to something but probably got the timing wrong. That said, I find the case of the ( continue reading... )
There are some things in this world that are better suited to being replicated in LEGO form than others. The iconic Bentley Blower sits on the difficult side of the aisle, on account of its numerous rounded shapes and very complicated details. Yet, someone, surprisingly, did just that. As I was going through the ( continue reading... )
Back in the 1980s, when a TV series by the name 'Knight Rider' was all the craze, the world didn't really operate with the concept of artificial intelligence. Yet, what else could you call a computer mind that has the ability to completely control an automobile and also talk back to its owner? 'Knight Rider' was centered around Michael Knight, a former police officer who, after being almo... (…
When hunting for interesting LEGO Ideas sets to bring to your attention, I generally go after complex designs that, once completed, form a plastic bricks toy that mimics a heavyweight vehicle of our time. The blue Amazon van before you is none of that, yet it caught my eye simply because supporters were going nuts over it last year. The design is the work of a creator going by the handle…
It's a bit funny how most of the LEGO Ideas sets being submitted by fan designers are things that have never been replicated before in plastic form. It just goes to show, I guess, that despite the thousands of sets currently listed, the Danish toymaker still has a long way to go in satisfying every need and desire. Did you know, for instance, that despite offering a lot of automotive and…
Pista is the Italian word for track, and when a carmaker the size of Ferrari uses it on one of its models, you should expect something extraordinary. Like, say, the Ferrari 488 Pista that carries the most powerful V8 engine in the Prancing Horse's history - and a model that's now available in LEGO Technic form. This weekend, the world burned through August 1st, and, as usual this time of the year,…
A day only has 24 hours. And a year only has 365 days. Factor in the time you need for working, sleeping and eating and the result might frighten you. That's why we each must "choose our battles" wisely. You shouldn't stretch yourself thin. That said, I'll start this story with a confession: I have never played Halo in my life. I was aware of its existence but didn't know the m... ( continue…
Two years ago, back in 2024, Italian bike maker Ducati took a big, bold step into the world of motocross with the launch of the Desmo450 MX. The bet seems to have been worth it, as professional riders love it so much it even spawned two successors already, the Desmo450 EDS and the Desmo250 MX. Well, if you really want to stretch things, you can now add a new model to the list, this time in LEGO…
