No detail is overlooked on Hayarobi’s record player, which he called The Planet.
It consists of more than 2,400 pieces and is powered by a Lego Power Functions Battery Box and LEGO Power Functions M-Motor, according to Huh Magazine. Hayarobi even created a tube amp and speaker cases. Lego tires, like those for cars and trucks, are used as counterweights on the tonearm. It plays 33 1/3 and 45 records and was featured at the 2014 Seoul Brick Pop Art Exhibition in November. Artists like Hayarobi are a unique subset of the LEGO culture, able to imagine details and shapes not immediately apparent when looking at loose bricks in a box. To view other pieces by him, there is a Korean website for Lego enthusiasts. You may not be able to understand the text, but the pictures of Hayarobi’s work tell enough of a story about the way the artist’s eye sees no limits. Hayarobi also seems to have a pretty good ear for making Legos sound good. See and listen for yourself with the YouTube video below showing The Planet making music.Escape 60126Tire EscapeInstructions CatchBuilding InstructionsLego Sets Built60126 TireAtticus'S LegoCity TireShopping LegoForwardLEGO City Tire Escape 60126 with Building Instructions.

Today, Legos range from ultra basic to extremely high-tech, and if you’re looking for an excellent example of the latter, look no further than a build commissioned by aerospace and defense contractor Arrow. Arrow’s ad team hired Brazilian designer and Lego genius Arthur Sacek to construct a jaw-dropping Lego robot capable of turning a single sheet of paper into an airplane, and then launching it — a metaphor for Arrow’s own business — and the result is just awesome. Don't Miss: World’s top Apple insider just revealed a new iPhone 8 feature that’s a literal game-changer As you can see in the video, the device grabs the paper, makes all the perfect folds, bends the wings effortlessly, and then prepares the newly built craft for takeover. Launch is handled by a pair of rapidly spinning rubber Lego tires. The entire machine works perfectly, and it’s hard to believe you’re actually watching a hand-built gadget. That is, until you check out the equally awesome behind-the-scenes construction of the entire contraption.
It’s really interesting to see the build progress from a pile of plastic parts to an extremely precise assembly line for building a paper airplane, and the joy on everyone’s faces when the plane finally takes to the air reminds you why Legos are so great to begin with. Do I have any better idea of what Arrow does or why I should care? Not really, but the videos were awesome.When you build a train, treehouse, spaceship or castle out of Lego, don’t you wish you could make it life-size so you could climb in and use it for real? Well, it turns out you can. A guy named Raul Oaida has built a real human-sized car out of Lego. He used half a million Lego pieces, including 24 tiny windshields to make one big one. The engine has 256 cylinders (a real car has 8, so these must be tiny), and runs on compressed air, meaning lots of air pushed into a small tank so it shoots out. The car can drive up to 20 miles per hour, on tires just like cute little Lego tires, except bigger. Now you can drive around and feel just like a Lego person, but without having to wear those snap-on pants.
Wee ones: If there are 2 tires in the front and 2 in the back, how many giant Lego tires does the car have? Little kids: The side door is yellow with a black zigzag through it. If the 10th piece in the first row is black, how many yellow pieces come before it? Bonus: If the 12th piece is black in the next row, then the 14th piece in the next, then the 16th in the next…which piece is black in the row after that? Big kids: If the car uses 500,000 pieces, and each of the 2 doors door uses 100,000, how many are left for the body of the car? Bonus: If the windshield uses 24 mini windshield pieces in 2 equal rows, and you want to make it 1 row taller, how many pieces does the windshield have then? The sky’s the limit: If every 3 layers of Lego make 1 inch of wall, how many layers tall is the car door if it’s 2 feet tall? (Hint if needed: A foot has 12 inches.) Wee ones: 4 tires. Little kids: 9 yellow pieces. Bonus: The 18th piece. Big kids: 300,000 pieces!
