LEGO Ideas: METROID – E.M.M.I.

January 16, 2024 By ausretrogamer

Ah LEGO Ideas, you do get some pretty darn awesome product ideas, just like this METROID – E.M.M.I. entry by DirectorInfamousCockroach100!

What’s there not to love here, there is Samus Aran (based on her Metroid Dread appearance) and the E.M.M.I. robot enemies featured in Metroid Dread!

DirectorInfamousCockroach100 states that:

Originally I was going to build Samus’ ship but I couldn’t crack the design :/ so here is the E.M.M.I! The Robot enemies featured in Metroid Dread.

The design here is a bit bulky but I wanted to try and make it as posable as possible! Of course it comes with a transparent stand just in-case, the build is not the most stable!

So if you are yearning for a Lego Metroid set of some kind, then you better get voting on this one!

LEGO IDEAS – Kirby’s Dream Collection

December 6, 2022 By ausretrogamer

If Nintendo can have their consoles and Mario turned into Lego sets, then why not Kirby!

If you are a Kirby fan, then you need to head to Lego Ideas right now and put your vote in for Kirby’s Dream Collection by By _Ish_.

Looking at the photos of this Kirby Lego creation, the set will most definitely look good next to the Super Mario one. Now go and vote for it!

By _Ish_ says:

This set includes many iconic locations from the Kirby games including: Green greens the first stage, Castle Dedede Home of the evil King Dedede and his Waddle Dee minions, And Metta Knight’s battle-ship, Halberd.

This set works well for display or you can play with it using the props and alternate face-plates. I made this set because Kirby and Lego have both been huge parts of my life for years. Ever since I discovered Kirby I’ve been creating my own Kirby characters and stories. When I discovered Lego I started building all kinds of crazy locations for my figures to roam around in. When I put the two together.. It made this. I think this would be a phenomenal Lego set because it’s a colorful family-friendly game that kids will enjoy and a classic that’s sure to bring back memories for adults too.

Lego Ideas: Game Boy Colour Transformer “PRISMATIS”

July 15, 2022 By ausretrogamer

We love Lego Ideas that have a nostalgic link to our past, just like this Game Boy Colour Transformer “PRISMATIS” by Baron Von Brunk.

Built in 2017, this particular Lego Ideas entry is based on an iconic full-size 1990s Game Boy Color, with its crisp lime green colours, a battery case on the back that comes off to store two batteries that double as missiles – how clever! Baron tells us that the transformation process is straight forward without the need to remove parts. The Transformer arms and hands are articulated with individual fingers on each hand – talk about attention to detail! Oh yeah, how cool is that speaker vent – another great touch to this very cool Lego Ideas entrant.
