Today, The LEGO Movie celebrates the 10th anniversary of its theater premiere. It was a global phenomenon that earned $468 million during its theatrical run. As a result of its success, it spawned a direct sequel and a couple of spinoff movies including The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part, The LEGO Batman Movie, and The LEGO Ninjago Movie. It also introduced new fans to LEGO who weren’t really fans before the movie came out which wasn’t a bad thing for LEGO. A decade later, we’re still getting LEGO movies with the next one coming called Piece by Piece, a biopic featuring Pharrell Williams.

Have you ever been deep in some fancy SNOT work and realized you weren’t able to keep track of all the half-plate, quarter-plate, or even eighth-plate values adding up? Or maybe you just really hate LEGO fractions and refuse to use them? Fortunately, there is a solution in the form of LDU. LDU Origins What is LDU you ask? Is that a weird LEGO Dimension Unit or something? Well kinda, but in reality, it claims its origin from the LEGO computer modeling program LDraw. The history of LDraw is better left to a different article, but know that it dates back to the 1990s. If you know anything about computers, you know they are good at math. But computers are also better at using whole integers, like 1, 42, and 1958, rather than any fractions or decimals like 3.14 or 2.71. With the standard units we are used to working with...

Can a LEGO set be rebuilt into something else entirely, perhaps a bit more timey-wimey and blue? Today, we will find out. I recently was able to build LEGO Ideas 21437 Red London Telephone Box.

It is still readily found in souvenirs and countless Instagram and tourist photos. For many people, the red telephone box symbolises London just as much as the Tower Bridge or Big Ben. If you love all things London, this...
