LEGO fanatics that happen to have one or more Apple iOS devices have a new game to check out. Dubbed Life of George, the new app will challenge players to build specific models and score them based on overall speed and accuracy.

The idea behind the game is simple -- you build the model you see on your iPhone or iPod Touch screen, set it on the play mat, then snap a photo of it using your device’s camera. The faster you build it (correctly) the more points you get. Read more...

The Venator Class Star Destroyer is one of the largest ships from the Star Wars movies and this LEGO version is a surprising 8-feet long! It’s not the first Venator Class built from LEGOs, but this build steals the show by being all LEGO and not relying on glue and screws to hold itself together. Read more...
