The moments of 2011 in Lego: From royal wedding to Occupy Wall Street



Lego Harry Potter is a Lego theme based on the films of the Harry Potter series. It is licensed from Warner Bros. Lego models of important scenes, vehicles and characters were made for the first six films and all of the published books. The first sets appeared in 2001, to coincide with the release of the first film, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Subsequent sets were released alongside the new films, until Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. The line then went dormant for three years, with sets being released in 2010 and 2011. In 2018, it was announced that more sets based on the Harry Potter franchise would be released, including new sets based on Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and its sequel, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.




The moments of 2011 in Lego



Lego has produced a Harry Potter-themed Lego Dimensions "team pack" with a scheduled release date of 27 September 2016 in the United States. This add-on pack includes Harry Potter and Voldemort minifigs that are largely similar to the 2010/2011 versions. Key differences include a different hairpiece for Harry Potter and a brown wand instead of a white one for Voldemort. The add-on pack also includes small versions of the Weasleys' flying car and the Hogwarts Express engine. This "team pack" number is 71247. An additional "fun pack" featuring Hermione Granger and Buckbeak (71348) was released on May 9, 2017. Add-on packs based on Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them are set for release alongside the film on 18 November 2016; these include a "story pack" containing Newt Scamander, a Niffler and a MACUSA model (71253), and a "fun pack" containing Tina Goldstein and a Swooping Evil (71257).


The NBA Finals have had many famous moments throughout the years. Here are five of them immortalized in LEGO. The plays include some all-time greats and a shot by a Piston that clinched a championship. Enjoy.


(PhysOrg.com) -- Robotics is a serious science, but like all of the most serious things in this world it does have a fun side too. Sometimes a robot, with all of its advanced equipment and the intense hours of programming involved, comes along and it does something that is so silly and so darn entertaining that you just have to sit back, watch the video and laugh. When a robot begins making you Micky Mouse shaped pancakes you can begin to suspect that you are experiencing one of those moments. When that robot is made of Lego's then you can be sure that you are in one of those situations. googletag.cmd.push(function() googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1449240174198-2'); ); Of course, this bot can do more than just the icon of a children's toy corporation, it can make any shape that you can programming it to, provided that it fits onto the griddle. The pancake cooking bot is in reality a 3-axis CNC-made robot, designed by Mexican Viking. The machine uses the Z coordinate to control where the batter is released. The robot was originally coded in Python NXT but had to be changed due to unnamed complications with the use of the language in this application. Mexican Viking changed it to the LEGO Mindstorms programming language. This programming language then creates the image using a text files with three coordinates that tell the machine where to move and when to dump the batter.The machine cannot be bought commercially and it is not going to be on sale in the near future. If you want to make one of your own you can use the directions on Mexican Viking's website to create one for yourself. 2010 PhysOrg.com


The set shown above is of the finale of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. This is one of the most iconic moments of the game, featuring all main 3 characters in adult form. The organ is heard throughout the ascent of Ganon's Castle and plays an important role in building the suspension as Link climbs the seemingly endless stairs to aid in Princess Zelda's rescue.


With surprisingly little fanfare, and airing whilst Comic-Con 2011 was taking place (when, surely, all good geeks would be away from their TVs), comes the television event of the year, The Padawan Menace, a LEGO Star Wars special that has just graced the Cartoon Network over in the US.


If you thought my absence in the best of 2011 feature was odd, there was a reason for that... I did not play that many games in 2011. Not even kidding here. 3DS? Still don't own it. Mario Kart 7? I only played Super Mario Kart via Virtual Console. Skyward Sword? Nope. With me missing out on the best games and systems of 2011 there was only one game that stood out for me as the best due to slim pickings, and that is Kirby's Return to Dream Land.


Regardless, it was a great game and one of the best platformers of 2011. And speaking of platformers, another one of my favorites of 2011 was LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean. I love the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Even at its worst it can provide great moments of entertainment so I was very excited to play the LEGO versions of the four movies, and I wasn't disappointed at all by it


It comes to no surprise that some developers would try and imitate that successful formula. One of the games that tried their best to capture the essence of the LEGO games was Disney Universe, which stands as both one of the worst games of 2011 and the most disappointing game of the year. Clearly they tried their best to make the game play exactly like the LEGO games, but forgot to add in the clever wit in storytelling and the accessible challenge. Disney Universe is very monotonous in its design and fails to fully utilize the Disney name. Even the costume unlocking, highly hyped prior to launch, was really obnoxious.


And that's it! I wish I could elaborate more on the yeah as a whole, but like I stated before I missed out on all the major games of 2011. It's heartbreaking, really, as I really wanted to see what the fuzz was about regarding these games. Hopefully, 2012 allows me to play them as well as the year's own unique efforts.


The year for me was sort of similar to how Pedro's year went. I didn't play very many games released in 2011, in fact the only one that comes immediately to mind is Zelda: Skyward Sword. Part of the reason is that there were many games released in years prior that I hadn't gotten to yet, so it was hard to justify paying full price for new releases when I could get older games for half that or less.


When I was messaged to say we had a copy of LEGO Ninjago: Nindroids to review, the inner child sniggered and made a crass joke about a well known medical condition that affects a certain part of your body. Little did I know (until I did some research) that Ninjago is the original LEGO TV series, and to follow the success of the show and the 2011 LEGO Battles: Ninjago game, LEGO Ninjago: Nindroids is the latest game to hit the shelves.


Warner Bros. Entertainment released on 25 June, 2010 LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 a video game developed by Traveller's Tales, covering "the Sorcerer's Stone", "the Chamber of Secrets", "the Prisoner of Azkaban" and "The Goblet of Fire". LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7, covering the last three installments of the series, was released on 11 November, 2011.


It was announced at the 2010 Toy Fair that 6 more Harry Potter LEGO Sets had been produced. They were released October 1, 2010 and they include moments from different movies. The range includes newly designed minifigures and the first appearances of Bellatrix Lestrange, Luna Lovegood, Filius Flitwick and Argus Filch. [5] The LEGO manfacturers added features from accross the books and films to each set, to allow for more inventive playing, examples of this are: Aragog in "Hagrid's Hut", and sirius black's head in Hogwarts


Early in October of 2010, The LEGO Group announced the release of another set: Diagon Alley was released in January 2011. The set features Borgin and Burkes, Gringotts Wizarding Bank and Ollivanders Wand Shop, and includes the first appearances of Fred and George Weasley and Mr. Ollivander. Three other sets (along with two promotional sets) were released on June 1, 2011. These are assumed to be the final sets that LEGO will release under the Harry Potter theme.


On the other side of the gold doubloon, however, there are moments where the game delivers solid gameplay. The Wii Remote and Nunchuk controls are reasonably intuitive, the puzzles can be challenging and engaging, while some platforming and combat is fun and smooth. It is just a shame that for every moment of enjoyable gameplay, there are red-mist-inducing sections around the corner.


@JayArr It's not because it's getting played out, it's just that they're running out of ideas. I hated this game and this is only my second lego game ever.@Sir_Dragoon & @LEGEND_MARIOID How can you NOT like piratetes of the carribien!? ITS AWESOME!!!!!!

These four Hogwarts Moments sets have been crafted to reveal signature moments tied to the class that each Head of House teaches. All you have to do is open the cover of the brick-built playbook to reveal the magical playset inside. One of the most unique aspects of these new sets is that you can connect all four to create a 360-degree Hogwarts play space. This is some seventh-year magic at play here. 2ff7e9595c
