Do the Mario!

Look at the dust...
I made this one a LONG time ago. Several years. I don't even remember specifically when it was. I probably wasn't even ten years old. But, I've kept it to this day and it's awesome.
For those of you unfamiliar with what this is, this is a LEGO mosaic of Mario from the video game Super Mario World on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (or as everyone calls it, the Super NES). I grew up playing the game and I've several fond memories of playing it with friends and family.
Here's a screenshot of the Mario in the game.
Naturally, I got lazy when it came to coloring certain things and following the pixels exactly, but I was satisfied with it at the time (and I still am).
For good measure, here's what Mario looks like nowadays.

The Laboratory

A team of androids and men do sciency things!
 Here's a playset of a science lab. It's got scientist and engineer looking guys all around, as well as their robotic assistants and such. The whole things also equipped with super-computers. That's pretty neat.
Up in front there's a giant capsule with which the scientists create all sorts of mutants or anything along those lines.
The primary part of this lab is the capsule that the scientists use to put stuff inside. If you've seen Pokemon - The First Movie, you should know what I'm talking about (and I can't believe I'm making that kind of reference).
 Open up the top and put something inside, like a sizable, mutant spider.

Brickshelf.com

I suppose this is good of time as any to talk about Brickshelf. Brickshelf is a cool website filled, FILLED with LEGO vehicles, sets, buildings, minifigures, and many other LEGO creations that people have made and submitted. It's a cool place sometimes. Here're a couple of things that I found on it that I particularly liked (so obviously, no, I didn't make any of these).

Here's a United States Air Force F22 Raptor, apparently. I like how there's a Star Wars figure inside.

It's Ridley.

It's Bowser.

I'd live there...

Well, those were pretty cool.

And in case you're wondering or anything, I'm not going to get an account on
Brickshelf and share my stuff there. I don't build LEGO things enough for that, I feel.

The Skateboat

YES! It's the LEGO skateboard! Equipped with TWO whole pairs of wheels!
Check it out!
...Yup... I'm running out of ideas here...
