Star Wars Lego: Creativity at Its Finest

- 0 comments

Over the years of its existence, the Lego toys have improved a lot. One of the greatest improvements of the toy is when they start featuring the movie Star Wars in their themes. Lego is already a popular game then, but since it has incorporated the Star Wars theme into its creations, its popularity went through the roof. They have created miniature versions of the characters, spacecrafts, creatures and many other that are present in the movie. These Lego toys are still shaped like blocks but with the right parts, you can build an intricate X-wing fighter or even a millennium falcon.

If you are an avid fan of the Star Wars movie series, then surely you are familiar with many scenarios and characters it has. You can reenact these scenarios to reminisce this great movie. You can also be more creative and put your own ending and may be change the script to your preferred story line. You need to have all the Lego Star War characters for this. You also need to build the background from other Lego parts to make it look realistic. You can entertain your other Star Wars friends for hours with these.

A good suggestion is to make a stop motion movie clip out of your Lego Star Wars toys. This is laborious work but you and your friends will be able to enjoy it. For this, you will need a digital camera that has high memory because you will be taking many pictures. You also need a tripod for the camera because it has to remain stationary throughout the entire making of the stop motion movie clip. Next, is to prepare what you are going to need like the lighting, the characters and the background.

Now that you have your stage set up, you have to position your camera in such a way that it will not move even if you are continuously changing the position of your characters and vehicles. Now the laborious part, first you take the initial picture of your characters. Then you move them slightly to make it look like that they are in motion, then you take their picture again without moving the position camera. Do this until you have accomplished the scene that you want to reenact.

Collect all the pictures and put them together using a movie editing software. If you were going to watch the compiled pictures, it would like a movie mini clip of the scene you have made with the Lego toys. The last thing that you have to do is put the sound effects and the dialogues of your movie clip and you are all set. Through trial and error, you will learn how to make things smoother. You can also add some creativity add some new things or create “scenes” that were not shown in the movie. Like how do they eat in the Death Star or how do Darth Vader sleep and many other things that can make people laugh. With this, you will be able to build your own Star Wars movie one piece at a time.

How to Store and Sort Your LEGO Toys?

- 0 comments

Submitted by: Roy J Walker

Playing and building with Lego toys is very educational and a lot of fun until it’s time to put them back for the day. How you can organize and hoard your LEGO toys largely depends on its size and the way of playing. There is no absolute wrong or right way; however here are some important guidelines in order to help you manage and store your toys well.

The Lego brand is very widespread, having crossed over into every well known genre, both TV and film. SpongeBob Squarepants, Harry Potter, Star Wars and Indiana Jones are all a part of the famous Lego Toy sets that the Lego focus groups determine to target.

Store them in an unsorted way. This method of toys storage is very useful for the collections of about or more than 5000 pieces. You must keep all your LEGO pieces right in the center of a big cloth like a small bed sheet or so. Grab the four corners, lift up the sheet along with the contents in it, and simply drop it in a drawer or bucket. You can even personalize the sheep by cutting it into a circle and attaching a drawstring to it making it easier for you to pull it together. This way you can keep all your toys in one place.

Sort them by their different set: This method of sorting your Lego toys is ideal for those builders who like to build the sets using the original instructions repeatedly. You can either place each of the sets into a different box, or simple combine two or more sets of the similar theme into one box. The boxes that these Lego toys come in originally are much larger than required, however they can make a fantastic place to keep the multiple sets of LEGO toys. Clear bags or boxes enable you to easily make out which set is in which box.

Sort them by their respective sizes: This toy storage method is best for collections of around 10,000 pieces or more. Usually the smaller pieces of the lot find their way right to the bottom; hence it gets much easier if you keep them in a separate box.

Sort them by their category: This way of storage is ideal for the Lego collections that are about 10,000 pieces or more. Before your huge collection gets difficult to sort out, you may decide to keep your plates, slopes and bricks separately.

Sort them by the various parts: In this way of sorting your Lego pieces you will require many containers. You can buy medium sized containers and store all the different parts in different ones. This method too is practical only for the larger set of toys.

Sort them by the different colors: This should be attempted only after the toys have been sorted by parts. This method of sorting out your Lego toys requires an extensive investment of space and is generally attempted by those collectors who have a set of fewer than 50,000 pieces. It is also very useful for those collectors who like to make visually remarkable creations using their LEGO bricks and pieces. You must use several same sized transparent plastic containers to attempt this.

Star Wars Lego Sets

Star Wars Lego Sets

Submitted by: Jeffrey Richard

Star Wars Legos are the greatest thing according to my 10 year old son. He has been building legos since he was about 5 and he has built the cars, the Bionicles and the other action sets but Star Wars Lego Sets are by far his favorite.

There are many Star Wars Legos to chose from, you can either be a good guy or join the Dark Side. He started out building some of the more basic Star Wars Lego Sets and is always looking for the next challenge. Every time we go to Target or WalMart we have to check and see if there is a new Star Wars Legos Set out.

Star Wars Legos come in sets as low as $10 up to hundreds of dollars. While the smaller Star Wars Lego Sets are relatively easy to build, usually having only a few bags of parts, some of the bigger Star Wars Legos have many bags of parts and several assembly manuals. On thing we found out the hard way, is the parts bags are usually logically grouped so that similar parts for a particular assembly portion are grouped together. Now when he builds a Star Wars Lego set, he puts each bag into a small bowl rather than dumping them all together in one big bowl.

The biggest Star Wars Lego Sets he has built so far must have had 400 pieces. I know it ran around $50 or so and kept him busy for several nights. Every so often he would come over and show me how some part went together and what it could do. One of my favorite Star Wars Lego Sets he built is one of the walkers (sorry, Star Wars fans, I know it’s called something more complex than that). It was kind of hard to build because so many of the pieces were gray. It looks really cool on display.

One thing I have noticed about Star Wars Legos, and it probably holds true with any Legos set, is my son always wants to see what “guys” come with the kit. Some of the Star Wars Legos kits come with 4 or 5 guys. Very important in the Lego world.

One day when I thought we had bought all the Star Wars Lego Sets, I went on line to see what is available. Wow!! That’s where I found out just how big some of the Star Wars Legos can be. You can even build the Death Star, if you can afford it and you have the patience. My son insists that he will buy it someday.

As for “guys”, you can actually buy Star Wars Lego Kits of actual characters like Darth Vader, very cool.

I have always like Legos and all though I am not a Star Wars fan, I really like the fact that my son spends hours building them and is proud to display them. Besides, there is much more to life than video games. Oh yeah, you can get a Star Wars Legos video game to!

Amazon offers some really cool Star Wars Legos Sets you won't find at your local big buy store, check it out.
