Though CubeDude fever may have cooled over time as fads tend to do, they still trickle in from time to time and some just can’t help but make you want build your own version. ThatGuyWithTheBricks has dropped a great pair of Dudes in our forums based on Batman & The Joker from The Dark Knight and I have to admit, even though that Joker is not my favorite this CubeDude version is spot on and I’d be surprised to see a better rendition. Feel free to prove me wrong though.
MacLane is at it again, this time delving into the world of CubeDude vehicles!
Also check out his revamped Stormtrooper and Kenner Greedo!
Like I said before, the contest may have had few entries, but what it lacked in numbers it made up for in plain awesomeness. After a week of voting, the winner is:

And one more tip of the hat to all our contestants who produced some fantastic CubeDudes and scenes!
If you’ve been following BlockoLUG’s flickr photostream, and if you’re not you should be, you might have noticed that out of the 150 cubedudes they are debuting, they’ve done a handful of licensed theme characters as well. Above is a small sampling of what they have to offer from Pirates of the Caribbean, Harry Potter, and, of course, Star Wars.

There’s less than a week left to enter our CubeDude Vigs contest! Your 16×16 vignette with 2-4 characters from any licensed Lego theme needs to be posted by midnight Pacific this coming Sunday evening! Hurry or you’ll miss your chance to win these awesome prizes:
Yes, it’s that time. Time for another contest. Time for…
That’s right, a vignette contest of a different nature. The loot? A set of the 2010 San Diego Comic Con LEGO Exclusive CubeDudes and the Star Wars Celebration V LEGO Exclusive CubeDudes. The rub? You can build CubeDudes from any LEGO licensed theme. Read all about it.
A small blurry shot earlier this week teased us all with the news of Celebration V’s CubeDude set: the Empire Strikes Back bounty hunters! Today we get a much more revealing look at the assortment via StarWars.com
I really liked the ComicCon exclusive figures, but these are just awesome.
Thanks to UOldPirate on the forums for pointing out the new article!
The San Diego Comic Con came and went and I had a blast this year, more so than any other time I’ve gone. This year, 2010, marks the fourth year that LEGO has had a presence at the Con and it just keeps getting better and better.
I got to meet the father of the Cube Dude movement, Angus MacLane, and got him to sign an exclusive with a special message.
Greg Hyland was also there doing sketches and signing autographs. He was there for three days staying past his allotted time slot making sure each everyone who was in line got a sketch and an autographed print:
In addition to the exclusive, LEGO was selling Star Wars and Toy Story sets except for the summer wave, so if you needed a fix for some brick you needn’t travel far. It was surprising to see they had stacks of the LEGO Harry Potter game available:
Finally, LEGO was giving away one of these bad boys:
A nicely framed trio of the original Boba Fett figure: a white one, a 14 karat gold one, and a solid sterling silver one. The gold and silver ones are limited 1 of 2, the other of which will be given away at Star Wars Celebration. Sadly, I don’t think I won.
I met a lot of cool people who were fans of the site; even ran into Mos_Eisley from our forums doing his duty of helping out fellow members by not only picking up the exclusive set, but also getting them signed by Angus. All that being said, the greatest con moment was arranging a meeting between our very own Chief and the inspiration behind his ‘net persona: Aaron Douglas a.k.a. Chief Tyrol from Battlestar Galactica:
Just Epic.
If you’re interested in some of the other sights of the con, take a look at my flickr set.
Another year, another con in the books. Can’t wait for next year.
