Jan. 24 (UPI) -- An Australian man with a passion for trains and Lego bricks shared video of the toy railway he constructed that runs both inside and outside his home. The video, posted to YouTube by TrainGuy 659, shows the train's-eye-view as it chugs through the Cairns, Australia, home on tracks that run all through the house and around the yard. The man said he has been building Lego trains for years, and improves and expands on the track each time. "I got myself some more Lego track from last year's train set. So, this one got a bit bigger, by going around the pool this time! I had my mates to help me out in making the train set and filming it, as well," the man wrote. "This took us just under two weeks to set it all up."

This will mark the end of nine years since the arrival of the first Toa in 2001. Below is the official announcement from LEGO: In reviewing the business across all of its play patterns and properties, the LEGO Group faced a tough question: should we take on a new creative challenge in the world of buildable figures that we pioneered in 2001? BIONICLE re-invented the way consumers think of and play with the LEGO system. Through many chapters of compelling story and innovative product development, BIONICLE became a very strong property and an important part of The LEGO Group’s business. We think there is a significant opportunity to grow the buildable figure category, but it will take a more flexible platform that appeals to a wider range of ages through a variety of different entry points than BIONICLE has proven to deliver. The easy decision would be to stick with a known entity in BIONICLE; but as history has proven, The LEGO Group achieves its greatest success by embracing the uncertainty that innovation brings.
After all, BIONICLE almost never launched because it was such a big risk to the company’s way of doing business. Because you have been such an important part of building the BIONICLE franchise and have been among its most valued fans, we are writing to tell you that the six BIONICLE Stars launching in January will be the last BIONICLE sets for the foreseeable future. Beginning in summer 2010, The LEGO Group will debut a new, more flexible buildable figure property created by the same people who brought you BIONICLE. At the same time, we are also expanding the category to appeal to a younger audience through an established third-party property, starting in January. Since its beginning, BIONICLE has reflected the union of great product and a compelling story. Although there presently are no plans for more sets, the BIONICLE story is not ending. will remain an active site, with new story content updated by long-time BIONICLE writer Greg Farshtey. In addition, LEGO Group hopes to work with you, the fans, to continue to grow and expand the BIONICLE story universe.
This was an extremely difficult decision for all involved. But as seen in the tales of the Toa, striving for success in any mission requires imagination, new ways of thinking, and the willingness to take risks. We hope you will share the same level of enthusiasm we have for our plans for the buildable figure category. We invite you to remain a part of the BIONICLE universe—a universe you have helped to build, and that we are confident that you will continue to build—in the future. Thank you for your continued support and dedication to the BIONICLE and LEGO brands. With our very best regards, Jan Faltum, Global BIONICLE Director Lincoln Armstrong, Senior Brand Manager, BIONICLE Team Member since 2002 On February 10, The LEGO Batman Movie will hit theaters and unleash its titular Dark Knight into a brand new adventure that will force him to face most of his greatest foes. But unlike some Batmen, this Caped Crusader fights evil with a song in his heart…it’s just not a very humble song.
, an extended clip from The LEGO Batman Movie features Bruce Wayne’s alter ego making short work of his collective enemies while singing his own praises in the opening theme. Much like the film itself, Batman‘s song features a few callbacks to earlier eras, including the ’60s Batman TV series. Perhaps because of his overpowering success, LEGO Batman proves to be a bit of an egomaniac in this clip. That said, this is one of the few times that we’ve seen any Batman so thoroughly own the Joker, and it’s almost impossible not to laugh at the casual way that Batman dismissed the Clown Prince of Crime as being less significant than Bane or Superman, two rivals that he actually pays attention to. Fans have already met this Batman in The LEGO Movie, so everyone should know what to expect from him. The amazing thing is that this film will feature the first completely intentionally hilarious Batman on the big screen in over six decades. Maybe that’s what Batman needs right now.
