Free Single Category Statistics Easy to Use and InstallWhile most LEGO fans are perfectly happy with providing an awesome LEGO-built world for their minifigures, some people decide to bring LEGO up to human scale, and create wearable costumes and accessories for a bit of magic. While this is a lesser-known area of the hobby, human size LEGO costumes are quite popular at conventions. Life-size cars, houses, spaceships, furniture, movie characters, giant dragons, and replicas of pretty much any real-life object can be recreated in LEGO, and they have been done so already. As long as the project is mostly static, rigid, and has a substantial bulk that can support itself, you just need enough LEGO bricks and a bit of engineering skill to build them.
Wearable LEGO costumes however come with an extra set of challenges; they need to remain thin enough and flexible enough to use as a costume. There are a number of clever locking techniques to make a LEGO creation more stable, but they are designed to be used in smaller creations. On a larger scale, they would add too much bulk. And the more bulk you add, the more you increase weight, and reduce flexibility. Most people get around this by just building the most identifying features of a costume out of LEGO, and then attaching them to a flexible material. So for example a belt, chest-plate, or shoulder-armor would be built out of LEGO, which is then attached with Velcro strips to a regular piece or clothing. This keeps the character identifiable, and the costume not too fragile or clumsy. As an example, take a look at the Boba Fett costume below by SIMAFOL. There are some new pieces however that were first introduced in the LEGO Mixels line, that makes LEGO costume building a lot easier, and even opens up new possibilities.
I’m talking about these small ball-joint pieces that already revolutionized LEGO mech building. And this is why I wanted to show you the Halo ODST helmet created by LEGO fan Nick Brick. Take a look at the skeleton of the helmet below; it is entirely supported and shaped by those small ball-joints without adding much bulk. While you may not be into Halo, this same structure could be used for any headwear or body-wear, so it is quite a significant discovery. Once the skeleton of the helmet is put together, you can dress it up any way you like by using plates, tiles, and wedge pieces, and even add lights and other features as Nick Brick has done. No glue or other non-LEGO materials have been used to keep the helmet together. It weighs four pounds, and took ten days to build. Below I have also included a video-demonstration for you of the helmet. Pretty awesome, isn’t it? If you have any LEGO Mixels characters lying around, you might be inspired to start building your own helmet right away!
Again, it doesn’t have to be a Halo helmet (although it is definitely very cool), it can be any type of headgear, or other piece of body-wear that needs flexibility. So start dreaming and creating! I expect that we will see a lot more LEGO costumes as people discover the usefulness of those small ball-joints! Nick Brick is also very well known for his amazing human-size LEGO weapons from video-games and movies, so you might want to check out his YouTube channel for more. And if you want to pick up some LEGO Mixels for your own LEGO costumes (remember, the theme is going to get retired after this last wave), they are available under the LEGO Mixels section of the Online LEGO Shop. What do you think? How do you like this Halo ODST helmet? Are you interested to build something similar yourself? Or what other wearable LEGO costume pieces you would like to build?

Taylor Swift is so charming that she can go viral on Instagram video by simply trying to get comfortable on an airport couch. The 24-year-old singer uploaded a video today in which she tries to lay on a couch with no success. Swift was getting ready to board a plan to Berlin when she decided to rest a little bit. She lays down on the couch and tries to rest her feet on a wall. Ultimately her multiple attempts fail as her feet keep slipping. Despite her failed resting state, more than 250,000 people have “Liked” her repeated effort. Swift posted the failed attempt with the caption: “About to fly to Berlin. Just relaxing on this comfortable couch at the airport…,” More Social articles from Business 2 Community:Three months after the PS4 launched in North America, it has launched in its home country of Japan. The PlayStation brand has a huge presence in Japan, whereas the Xbox brand does not. The PS4 already had a comfortable sales lead, but with the Xbox One not impacting Japan, that PS4 sales numbers are going to eclipse Microsoft’s box.
To combat this, Microsoft has dropped the price of the Xbox One, and included the flagship title Titanfall.Oddly, the Japan launch appears to be a different affair than the North American launch we all survived back in November. Instead of frantic gamers running between Best Buys and GameStops on release morning, many Japanese gamers lined up to receive pre-order tickets which allowed them to go home and come back at release. Back in October, pre-order stock almost immediately sold out, however, reports suggest that the Japanese retail stock didn’t do the same upon the February 22 release. Reportedly, the PS4 still sold quickly, and used the weekend to deplete its stock. Now, Sony is already restocking units — and they’re still selling. Hard numbers have not yet been released, but it’s safe to assume that the PS4’s sales lead on the Xbox One has significantly grown since last week. In fact, Microsoft appears to have responded to the Japanese launch by releasing a new Titanfall bundle and dropping the price.
Unfortunately, the price drop — from £430 to £400, what amounts to about $50 — and bundle are only currently slated for the UK market, but it wouldn’t be surprising if that’s simply a testing ground for a similar price drop and bundle to release stateside. While a $450 Xbox One, Kinect, and Titanfall package is still not as cheap as the $400 PS4, the $50 pill should be easier for gamers to swallow considering the console comes with a Kinect and what is essentially the only flagship (semi) exclusive available at this time. The cheaper bundle releases this Friday.So, while we don’t have hard numbers just yet — expect them to be disclosed soon — it’s safe to say the PS4 just gained an even larger lead over the Xbox One. Regardless of your console preference, more sales for one or the other not only means there will be a larger online community to game with, but it paints a picture for the portion of the populace that has yet to commit to a console. If the PS4 is painted as the better purchase due to the higher sales figures, then that will only snowball the sales, causing more people to assume the PS4 is the better choice.
