“Not all of our fans have access to comic book retail locations, so by expanding our website to offer the entire product line, we’re adding an element of convenience and the ability for fans to collect every single product they’re interested in,” stated Hank Kanalz, senior vice president of digital, DC Entertainment. For fans attending C2E2 in Chicago this weekend (April 13-15) Geoff Johns will moderate a DC Collectibles panel that will showcase the new website and brand logo, and offer an exclusive sneak peak of never announced DC Collectibles products coming later in 2012.

Of all the Lego videos, this is by far the most violent and nihilistic we've seen...and perhaps the greatest, next to this one. It features Captain America. And the Wilhelm scream.

Yeah.

Those "Girl sized" Legos have been pretty controversial but they have sold well, we're told. And you can make a cool tank out of them. And thus, someone has used one to make a "Tank Girl" video. And here's how to build it. Apparently there's a special file style just for building Legos. The march of progress.

A wedding is in the air for My Little Pony, as Princess Cadence and Shining Armor are tying the knot...and the hearts of bronies everywhere are pounding all the faster.

We have hundreds of images from Toy Far to sort through, but we'll just start out with a few highlights. Over at Kotobukiya, even the dolls were representing the Brokeback!

It seems that for 2012, Lucasfilms has decided on using "Shirtless Darth Maul" as their brand licensing image. Great choice!

We'll have more descriptions of these when we have more bandwidth. In the meantime, here's a sneak peek. Lego Gollum and Lego Helm's Deep!

DC and Lego have teamed for an app that offers all-new, all-free comics. This could be significant, for reasons explained below.

We don't know HOW we missed this story when it originally broke as we're such huge fans of The Brick Testament at Stately Beat Manor. Lest you forget, this is one man's crazy 10-year quest to retell the Bible using Legos a gargantuan task of posing and photographing, not to mention compression. When the book came out in November, we were all over that shit, and so, originally, was massive ass market retailer Sam's Club and religious bookstores, who thought that a version of the Bible told in colorful brick would appeal to children.

Everyone has been linking to the various Halloween goodies at Wonderful Wonderblog and the pictures of old Ben Cooper kids Halloween costumes from the 70s and 80s. It's a pretty remarkable sign of the progress in human evolution that we have gone from a holiday based around molded plastic masks of various characters accessorized with garish nylon jumpsuits to a holiday based around Sexy Nurse.

If you have been around the nerdier sectors of the net in the last decade you have surely seen The Brick Testament, by Brendan Powell Smith a loving recreation of the BIble's most gruesome, perverted and vengeful moment rendered in Lego brick men and women. What you may NOT have known is that the whole glorious thing is coming out this month in a paperback from Skyhorse.
