Lego Arrested Development

My 11 year old loves Arrested Development. He loves Lego. I guess it was inevitable the two would collide. He’s been busy constructing scenes from Arrested Development out of Lego. Here, Gob is about to make the yacht Lucille disappear:

Here, Gob is hanging out with one of the many girls of low self-esteem during Spring Break:

Girls With Low Self-Esteem Lego

Here, Gob regrets letting Buster in on his magic (OK, illusion!) act:

Arrested Development Lego: Buster & Gob

After I posted these, he got a request on Twitter for the banana stand and Gob on his Segway. So he dived in:

George Michael, Gob & The Banana Stand

Curious if others had the inspiration to combine Legos and Arrested Development, I did some searching. I’m asking to get permission to show photos for some of these. In the meantime, you can click to view those that aren’t embedded.

Here’s a nice one of George Michael in flying suit gear taking on the Tobias the Mole over the miniature village that Gob had Buster build:

The photo was taken by Jordan Chesbrough and is used with permission. The scene was created by Jon Furman.

Here’s the banana stand from Camera Wences, and used with permission:

I like Buster with a hooked hand!

Here’s another of the banana stand with a better Buster, Gob also on a Segway and with flames! The same person also has a great one of the stair car.

Lego Arrested Development — it’s this sort of thing that the internet was made for.

Great job by your son. It makes me wonder what kind of a community a lego sitcom site could build (legositcom.com is available btw:))

Those are cute. I watched a few episodes of Arrested Development when it first came out but didn’t have the time to stay with the series, unfortunately. However, it is a hilarious show.

Your son is very talented and very patient I must say to sit still and put all that together. :)

Thinking of dropping your link spam? Consider this. Seriously, STOP & READ. The guy who runs Google's spam fighting team? I know him pretty well. In fact, it's sort of a joke between us to see what's the latest absurd link drop I can share. So if you want your site to be a poster child on his idiots wall -- and probably to encounter a Google penalty -- go ahead, drop your link. It's nofollow anyway, plus I do have built-in spam fighting and what gets past that usually gets nabbed in a few minutes to a few hours. So you got to ask yourself. Are you feeling lucky?
