Lego goes high tech (kinda)

As high tech as little plastic blocks can go.

Basically, you can download a 3-D modeling program, model anything you want, upload it to the lego website, and get shipped all the pieces you need, plus instructions.

I shudder to think of Dolemite's life-sized Soonerpimp lego creation.

Yeah, that looks pretty ****ing cool. If you like Legos. Which I do.

Hopefully, they're still those sweet Lego instructions where the new block just appears in the next frame and you have to go looking for it. Seriously, I loved the way they gave no indication what the new block was. Often it was obvious, but many times, it was a real challenge.

Cool.

Now someone can actually Lego my Eggo.

So they come with instructions on how to put them together to make your design? Sounds like they'd have to pay somebody to sit and figure that out. I want that job.
