Brick time event: the coolest custom-made video game Lego sets
Bricking it
If the last 10 years have taught us anything it's that Lego and video games go together like two inseparable square tiles. There's been Star Wars, Marvel, Indiana Jones - you name it, they've probably done it. Sadly that relationship only tends to extend the one way, with the toy line becoming a video game, and not the other way around. Thankfully, that situation may be about to change. Following on from a spirited fan campaign to see Portal made plastic, Chell and company were recently included as part of TT's Lego Dimensions.
Could this signal the start of a fresh wave of physical kits, all taking their inspiration from popular video games? Perhaps, though some titles' violent content will almost certainly preclude them from play (realistic violence is a big Lego no-no, though quite what those crazy Danes imagine pirates and medieval knights got up to is way beyond me). Until then, we'll just have to content ourselves with the following - brilliant - custom-made Lego kits. Remember, if you want to see more - and you will want to see more - check out the creator links provided.
