Hey guys, I’ve been busy today making the site more organized so you can find everything easier. I added the Lego Themes section and a convenient link to Lego Store and Pick a Brick site. Aren’t I sweet? 
After doing those posts on the new Lego Star Wars Clone Wars sets I have really been in a Star Warsy kinda mood. And I found some great Lego Star Wars mini movies on the lego.com site.
Watch the Lego Star Wars mini movies here! They are really quite funny. And some of them use stop motion animation using real minifigs and have a home made, youtube vid feel to them. The others are much more refined 3D CGI like in the Lego TV commercials.
From "May the 4th Be With You" vid
I also added a new Lego Poll. I am thinking about adding more info about minifig customization. What do you think?

What does it take to make sales of a Lego set jump 633 percent? Why just let world famous footballer David Beckham be your spokesman.
Beckham reportedly mentioned that he loves Lego in a recent interview and that he would have liked to be a “Lego Model Builder” you know if he wasn’t already practically the most famous footballer in the world.
Beckham also mentioned that he recently purchased the Taj Mahal Lego set while on a trip to Italy. That’s all it took to get the web buzzing about the Taj Mahal set and orders for it on Lego website to skyrocket up 633 percent!
And to thank David for his presumably unpaid endorsement a rep from Lego Group invited he and his family to their headquarters in Billund.
I sure would love to get a tour of that myself!
Buy your very own Lego Taj Mahal here!

Here is my pick for MOC of the Week:
“Colonizer” Blimp by Pierre E Fieschi
As you can see this baby has got some great detail. It has a strong design with a white and orange color scheme. This is getting a lot of attention and for good reason. I also picked it because I am a strong believer that humanity should actively pursue colonizing other planets. I think that would be a much better economic driving force than war and it would help safeguard the future of our species. I know that’s deep but what can I say? I get emotional about the future of us kind. hehe
Let me know what you think of Pierre’s work in the comment section. Also let us know if you have found a great MOC you’d like to nominate for a future post.
