We’ve featured a LEGO Helm’s Deep before, but that pales in comparison with this version built by Goel Kim and Big J. Made up of over 150,000 bricks and 2,000 mini-figs it took a year and a half of preparation and six months to build.
There’s a huge selection of photos on MOCpages and Flickr showing off the sheer scale and detail of the diorama.

Real or fake?
YOU decide.

Old Gerry decided to mention,
The heightened sectarian tension,
Against all the odds,
He’s blaming the prods,
It’s a problem with just one dimension.

What you may need to know
1. Jack Ryan is BACK! He was Alec Baldwin, then Harrison Ford, then Ben Affleck, now he’s… Captain Kirk?
2. Ryan creator Tom Clancy passed away last week. Never read his books, but his video games ROCKED.
3. Shadow Recruit is directed by Sir Kenneth Branagh, who doubles up as the bad guy to save a few quid.
4. Keira Knightly plays the love interest, because you have to be in a big stupid hit every once in a while.
5. Kevin Costner is to hand, to remind audiences what an actual movie star looks like.
6. We’re still not convinced by the whole Chris Pine thing, particularly after that second Star Trek movie.
7. Best YouTube comment: ‘So…a movie trailer that starts with a man outrunning bullets…does not instill confidence in me.’
Release Date: Xmas

Previously: What Do We Want?
The most successful performance to date of Boston Dynamics’ Wildcat robot – funded by US military tech developer DARPA’s M3 programme – a wireless, free-roaming version of the headless Cheetah (which can run faster than Usain Bolt).
The prototype, which can bound, gallop, corner and reach a top speed of 16mph (25.7km/h), has a few minor teething troubles to sort out but should be ready to hunt down and kill all humans any day now.
