A Tour of World Heritage Sites in Lego

Eri and I took a lovely tour of some of the world’s most famous places today, via the miracle of Lego. This exhibition at the Parco gallery in Shibuya is, predictably, wonderful. We managed to visit the Taj Mahal (amazing), St Basil’s Cathedral (also very good), and even Machu Pichu (totally pointless – the ruins could have been anywhere without the mountains in the background). It was interesting to see the Palace of Westminster, and to realise I have no idea about what it looks like apart from the bit around Big Ben!　Perhaps the best thing though, was the piece by artist/writer/TV ~~pervert~~ pundit, Lily Franky, who did a version of the Leaning Tower at Pisa being attacked by Oden Kun and his friends. An inspirational exhibit overall and made me want to go out and start making Lego guns and penises again like the good-ol’days.

I am really looking forward to this. I played the Lego Star Wars PSP game for about a month every day on my way to work and it was one of the few games that was actually worth getting a zenclear on. In my opinion, it was one of the best, and certainly the funniest, games to come out for the PSP. There’s nothing quite as fun as watching fellow commuters sleep while you slash stormtroopers with your lightsaber, or being leant on by a salaryman with creeping halitosis and taking out your anger on Jabba with your blaster…except perhaps for being Indiana Jones. It looks great from the trailer too – just the right levels of humour and action. I hope that they carry on this Lego/Lucasfilm partnership. I can’t wait to play Lego Howard the Duck!
