Hell Freezes over: Also, MiniMizer Updated

It only took me the better part of a year, but I finally found a few minutes to put a few new parts into the Upgraded Mini-Mizer.

Recently I've received several requests for Joker and Robin parts, so I put those in there. Along with some simple Iron Man-ish armor.

Now that I've cracked the code open again I'll probably update this a few more times before I put it back on the shelf. If you want an item added, now's the time to ask.

Enjoy!

LEGO: Nifty Keen Part O'the Day

In today's webcomic, Donut is checking out a nicely detailed map. It's an official LEGO piece, direct from one of the new Indiana Jones sets.

The cool thing about this piece is the teeny-tiny details that are printed on the brick. Check it out:

If you click on the image above you can see a huge scan of things. Not bad at all for a piece less than an inch on each side, no? I was trying to see if I could figure out any of the text - sadly at super-huge resolution it's revealed just to be scribbles. (There was actual text on the newspaper tile they released with the Spider-Man sets a couple of years back. I'll have to find one to scan in the near future. )

In these days of cost cutting and sticked parts, it's nice to be able to spotlight a piece like this. It shows that, given a chance, LEGO designers can still produce amazing things.
