Fan creation of the day:
Minifig scale B-25J Mitchell by nelsoma84 and Florida Shooter
Lego news:
Two new Lego Ideas sets announced:
The Beatles Yellow Submarine
&
The Apollo 11 Saturn-V (with capsule and lunar lander)
[evilmike's note: If the set is built to the same scale as the fan submission, it will be the second tallest Lego set, standing roughly 1m tall.]

More Lego news:
Lego also announced the year 2 expansions to Lego Dimensions including: Adventure Time, Harry Potter, Mission Impossible, and just about everything from the 1980's.

Wasn't lego dimensions cancelled?
Also, I successfully resisted the temptation to buy the Lego Arocs technic set while it was on sale. Lego has it for $230, Amazon for $200, but during the sale it was $174, which is 16 pieces of lego per dollar, not a bad deal at all.
Don't care much for the arocs itself, but I've always wanted a big pneumatic lego technic set, and this one is impressive, and uses their second generation pneumatic stuff.

You're thinking of Disney Infinity.
I think you're thinking of the Lego MMO from a few years back. LEGO Dimensions is the toys-to-screen game in the vein of Skylanders of Disney Infinity. Come to think of it, you might be thinking of Disney Infinity because Disney announced an end to the line a few weeks back.

Latest wave of collectable minifigs -- it looks like Lego doesn't think that @Celt Z or @Jesterboom have been buying enough Lego!
Neat. I had not heard of those before.
Lego currently uses wires with compatible connectors for electrical connections:
They used to use a different contact style that was more integrated with the studs on the bricks, but that hasn't been in use for some time. Not only did they use wired connections, there were also plates with integrated connections:
The clever thing about the plates is that the contacts were designed so that the connections would route properly if the plates were connected at right angles to each other.
This is at the top of my Christmas list.
You just want the Fab 4 Minifigs, don't you?This is at the top of my Christmas list.

Yes, but I'd really like the Yellow Submarine, too. It'd go well with the theme I've always had in Li'l Z's room (and my own Beatles fandom):

Shouldn't that say "I'VE GOT TO GET YOU INTO MY LIFE!" ?
