Lego 3DS by legotown44. If you just want the satisfaction of owning something that looks like a 3DS, without necessarily owning a 3DS — say, if you want people passing on the street to think you have one, but don’t need to interact through StreetPass, you could just build one of these.

And to make it easier, legotown44 posted an Instructables guide!

Lego Entertainment System by Arkov. Adorable!

I usually find stuff like this corny, but something about this particular arrangement of bricks really appealed to me, especially the controller:

Giant DSi created with 51,324 LEGO pieces.

This commissioned 250+ lb. sculture from Sean Kenney is on display at the Rockefeller Center throughout April. He spent over 200 hours on the project, which you can see condensed and with detail shots in this “making of” video:

Preorder: U.S. Matte Black and Blue DSi

So I just came across this story on the lack of a Lego Harry Potter game, and thought, hey, I’ll report on a lack of news, just to be different. Absence of news aside, I found it potentially interesting that Traveller’s Tales was planning on working on more Warner Bros properties, at least until I looked at this list (and this one). On that list of upcoming films, the only viable options I saw for games in the near future shouldn’t be options at all. Lego Watchmen? No. No. Lego Where the Wild Things Are? Hell no.

So, instead, I thought I’d offer Traveller’s Tales the following ideas, for free. I’m feeling generous.

• Lego Speed Racer (in and out of gaming stores as quickly as it was in and out of theaters!)
• Lego Friday the 13th (here’s our chance to play as the villain, killing stupid Lego teenagers!)
• Lego Harold & Kumar (a number of jokes just make themselves here; I’m not wasting effort)
• Lego Sex and the City (those little Lego hook-hands are perfect for gripping tiny plastic sex toys!)
• Lego Ocean’s However Many Dudes We Feel Like Hiring (it’ll be a mainstream darling!)

It’s late, and my humor threshold is low. I make no apologies.
