The Walking Dead is heading back to AMC for a brand new season in October. At Comic-Con last month a new trailer for the season was released and, of course, fans were pretty excited, to say the least.

But as great as it is, could said trailer be improved? Perhaps if it were made with LEGO? Fortunately, we don’t have to wonder as YouTube user Kristo499 has already done the heavy lifting for us. Yes, after the break is the Season Five trailer for The Walking Dead made with LEGO.

We’ve also included the “original” trailer as well for comparison. You’re welcome.

LEGOs are a slippery slope. You see a cool Star Wars pack by the checkout at Target. It only costs five bucks. You tell yourself it would look cool on your desk. Then next time you see the Daily Bugle and think it’ll look great on your shelf. Six months later you have a replica of the Death Star and Batman’s Bat Cave taking up a quarter of your living room. And then, the sick bastards decide this isn’t enough and make something you’ve been waiting for since you were 5… the Simpsons in LEGO form.

Luckily I have the self control (lack of funds) to spend $270 on the Simpsons house even though it is pretty epic to say the least. Because of that, it’ll be easier to hold back purchasing Moe’s Tavern or the Quik-E Mart when they are inevitably released. But LEGO still knows how to stick it to you. They make a set of 16 blind bag minifigures of all of the top Simpsons characters and charge a “mere” $4 each. So just to get the entire set with no duplicates, it’s going to take $64 bucks, plus tax.

With the holiday season already in full effect, the countdown to Christmas is officially underway. The Whiskey and Waffles team decided that the best way to prepare for Christmas is to have a daily video unboxing our LEGO Star Wars Advent calendar. In the spirit of the holiday, we’ve invited a bunch of our friends to join us in the unboxing process too.

During the month of December, every day the Whiskey and Waffles YouTube channel will add a new video every day opening up a new day on the LEGO Star Wars Advent calendar with a bunch of our YouTube friends. Make sure to check back every day to see WallE and I along with our guest stars Max No Sleeves, Tom from Mars Rising Films, Davis of the Warp Zone, Carissa Blades of Big Funny Pink Bunny, We are Manchildren and Landon from Science and Fiction Films.

Sure, okay, there’s a LEGO movie. But you know what, it doesn’t look that bad. In fact, it looks pretty darn good. Yeah, we were surprised too.

And now, Warner Bros has released a trailer for it for all to enjoy. Chris Pratt, Will Ferrell, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Nick Offerman, Alison Brie, Charlie Day, Liam Neeson and Morgan Freeman provide the voices and the Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs team of Phil Lord & Christopher Miller wrote and directed.

Check out the trailer after the break. Look for The LEGO Movie to hit theaters on February 7.

Superman. Michelangelo. Kobe Bryant. Where could you possibly see them all in the same movie? Well since the title of the article already spoiled it for you, I don’t have to leave you in suspense before revealing The LEGO Movie as the answer. Chris Pratt will lead an ensemble cast including Morgan Freeman as Vitruvius, an old mystic, and Liam Neeson taking the role as Bad Cop. As you’ll see in the teaser below, The LEGO Movie is far from your typical film.

In a world where continuity barely exists, tons of LEGO licenses are brought together in what may be considered an ultimate mashup style movie. Similar to the vein of Toy Story where the setting explains why this variety of characters would be together, The LEGO Movie has Pratt’s character Emmet who mistakenly finds his way into a fellowship of Master Builders including Freeman’s Vitruvius, Batman, Superman and the like.

They will be taking on Neeson and Will Farrell (who upgraded from President to Lord Business) in this CG movie. Interestingly enough, the movie is presented in a stop motion fashion even though it is obviously CG. Even more interesting is that there are collections of YouTube creators out there making actually stop motion that looks smoother than that of the trailer.

With E3 just around the corner, the news cycle doesn’t start a few days early as publishers and developers look to get their smaller bytes out just before the flood gates open. It starts a week out. And with that first wave comes a look at LEGO Marvel Super Heroes. In the horde of stories coming out in the E3 before the next generation of console launches, Traveller’s Tales and WB Games were smart to get us these screens early.

The latest shots from LEGO Marvel Super Heroes shows some characters we already knew were coming to the game like Captain America, Wolverine, Iron Man and Thor in the staple of Marvel locales New York City and the newly announced Asgard. The crazy thing is Asgard and especially its rainbow bridge look pretty darn beautiful in LEGO. But with all the new visual glory coming soon from the PS4 and XBox One, it’s probably for the best we see these graphics now rather than after the Microsoft and Sony press conferences.

Geeks and LEGO go together like Pizza and Beer. Or, like Han Solo and Luke Skywalker. Speaking of Luke Skywalker, a LEGO replica of his favorite fighter, the X-Wing , was recently unveiled during a ceremony in New York’s Times Square.

This amazing feet of engineering is the world’s largest LEGO model and is a 1:1 representation of the X-Wing. The massive replica took 32 master builders, five million LEGO bricks and over 17,000 hours to complete.

The model weighs nearly 46,000 pounds, stands 11 feet tall and 43 feet long, with a wingspan of 44 feet. This was done, in part, to help Cartoon Network kick off their new TV series The Yoda Chronicles on May 29th.

The model itself will be heading to the LEGOLAND California Resort where it will be installed through the remainder of the year. Check out more pics of this awesome LEGO X-Wing after the break.

Back in January we reported on the breaking news that LEGO Marvel Super Heroes was coming. Yes, we know it was kind of a no brainer but it was great to see it was actually happening! Now we are proud to bring the first official trailer to the Flickcast faithful.

In the trailer below, check out the first official look at LEGO Spider-Man, Thor, Wolverine, Hulk, Iron Man, Deadpool and Black Widow who will be amongst the “more than 100 memorable characters to choose from, each with their own unique powers and abilities, players are in for a brick-smashing adventure”. Those actual gameplay isn’t shown, one can assume it will probably be similar in style to that of LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes. The trailer also gives a pretty good indicator who one of the game’s big bads is going to be.
