LEGO robots by Peter Reid

Some incredibly cool LEGO robots by Peter Reid. This Mars Attacks / This Island Earth style Martian robot is my favorite, though: the insect eyes, the exposed brain lobes! He wants our women, and by god, he shall have them.

I think what you're seeing as "exposed brain lobes" is one of the tanks on its back, viewed through the dome.

It's still a nice job of packing a lot of detail into a very small number of fairly standard components. The man's got a good eye.

It would be fantastic if you could start singing Tom Jones' "It Not Unusual" and the Martians would fall to pieces.
