Vote for a Michigan Landmark to be included in LEGOLAND DISCOVERY CENTER MICHIGAN'S MINILAND

Which Michigan landmark would you like to see recreated out of LEGO building blocks?  The operators of the newly opening LEGOLAND DISCOVERY CENTER MICHIGAN at Great Lakes Crossing Outlets are asking local residents to help select one of the area's beloved landmarks -- historic buildings, big bridges or famous statues -- should be built from LEGO bricks and featured in the MINILAND exhibit when the attraction opens in the Spring of 2016.  Inspired by the metro Detroit region's sights and culture, MINILAND will be a miniature LEGO brick landscape of local buildings, attractions and other notable landmarks.

The first round of MINILAND voting will allow fans to write-in their favorite landmarks, and will run through the LEGOLAND DISCOVERY CENTER MICHIGAN Facebook page from Monday, October 12 - Monday October 26.  The top ten most popular landmarks will be announced on Wednesday, October 28th and a final top landmark will be determined through a second round of voting running from Monday, November 2 through Monday, November 16.  The winning landmark will be announced on Wednesday, November 18, 2015 and shall be unveiled prior to LEGOLAND DISCOVERY CENTER MICHIGAN's grand opening.
 
LEGOLAND DISCOVERY CENTER MICHIGAN will be a 32,000-square-foot indoor attraction featuring millions of LEGO bricks and themed exhibits including a 4D cinema, two interactive rides, large soft play areas and much more.  For more information, check out our post featuring A Geek Daddy's participation in the attraction's ground breaking ceremony.

So what are your thoughts on what to select to represent metro Detroit in MINILAND?  Comerica Park, the Spirit of Detroit statue, the Renaissance Center building?  As a kid, I always marveled at the giant tire situated along I-94 so the Uniroyal Tire has my vote!  Feel free to shout out your ideas in the comment section below and don't miss out on voting on Facebook.

Help make a LEGO Han Solo Building Block Blaster a Reality...Vote for it to be built on the Lego Ideas Page

Who's quicker to the draw....Greedo or Han Solo?  Well no matter who really shot first Greedo is the one that ends up on the floor with a smoking hole in his chest so we know who won that battle.  Next to the light saber, Han Solo's pistol is one of the most recognized props from the Star Wars movies.  How would you like to own your very own?  Lego Master Builder Julius von Brunk recently did just that by building a full-size replica from LEGO Building Blocks.

Brunk's laser pistol is made out of 400 LEGO pieces and features a pullable trigger that activates light and sound effects.  It is "Impressive, Most Impressive" to quote a certain Darth Vader.  So want one of your very own?  Here is a link to the instructions so you can build your very own. 

Problem is that Brunk's instructions are a wee bit complicated for the rest of us non-Master Builder types.  Ah Ha! there is another option for the rest of us ... have LEGO create a mass production version that is customized to make it easy enough for the average consumer to pop and click it together.  The LEGO IDEAS web site allows fans to petition for products to be created and ideas that receive enough online support are reviewed by the company for consideration for being produced and sold by it.  The new LEGO Scientists pack (LEGO SHATTERS THE BUILDING BLOCK CEILING) that was recently introduced originated through the LEGO IDEAS program. 

To get a project off the ground though it takes 10,000 votes on the LEGO IDEAS page to get things rolling.  If you'd like to be able to pick up a DL-44 blaster pistol off a store shelf one day, rush over to the LEGO IDEAS web site and cast your vote in support of Brunk's idea.  CLICK HERE to vote.

Get those votes in by hitting the blue "support" button on the right side of the DL-44's LEGO IDEA page and spread the word about this creative idea.  Let's make this happen!
