If you’re a fan of The Legend of Zelda series, then you’ve probably know what this is. Remi Gagne (Bolt of Blue) has created the Hylian Shield from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. If you remember, Remi was part of the OneLUG team that created the The Last March of the Ents. The masterpiece was posted on Reddit this morning and had a very positive response. Remi notes that all the pieces cost around $1500 and “maybe 3 or 4 months of spare time” to build. The Hylian Shield will be displayed at Brickcon 2012 this weekend or at DesignerCon in November so you can see it in person.
New York Comic Con on their Instagram account has revealed the exclusive that will be sold at the LEGO booth this year. This year, LEGO will feature a mini version of Luke’s Landspeeder.

In October, LEGO has many promotions and events going on in stores as well as Shop@Home.
LEGO Kocka, a LEGO monobrand store in Budapest, Hungary, has released the backstory for the Legends of Chima. Brickset has translated the post and the following is the result:
“The kingdom of Chima is a magical land in which very advanced species dominate. These creatures speak and act like people. They use vehicles and machines and live in amazing castles and fortresses. They have claws, teeth, tails, and some are equipped with wings. Now they are at war with each other…
“Chima was once a pure, natural paradise, but heavily armed barbarian species have changed it and now best friends have become sworn enemies of each other. Ruthless weapons destroyed the once sacred temples. Blood-thirsty vehicles battle each other in fatal duels in the forest.
“The creatures are fiercely fighting over a powerful natural resource called Chi. which is the source of life but also unimaginable destruction.
“Only a few brave heroes in Chima understand the true nature of Chi, and (for some reason) this leads to total destruction of Chima. Their stories are (apparently) the ‘The Legends of Chima’.
**Updated 10/1/12 – LEGO has posted the Designer video of the Horizon Express on Facebook (See below)**
