Classic NES game scenes in LEGO Form
Posted by inpheaux on March 9th, 2006 at 2:46 pmI was planning on waiting for our resident LEGO internet celebrity to get a chance to post this, but it's just too cool to wait.
About a year ago, an image surfaced on the internets of Katamari Damacy as expressed in the medium of LEGO bricks. It was good. It's always good to see two already [...]
