Halo 2's Zanzibar map done completely in Lego

It seems like if you want some guaranteed internet traffic these days, all you have to do is slap Halo tags all over the place. In fact, it's probably standard practice by now for sites offering things like FREE VIAGRA and GET RICH NOW NOW NOW to put Halo in the metatags. Darned 'Halo' branded little blue pills.
However, if you actually go out and create something all your own as a fanatical tribute to the Halo universe, then you have our respect. When it involves recreating the Zanzibar map from Halo 2 completely to scale in Lego, then you have our allegiance. In fact, we'd love to have something like this gracing the front window of the 'Stiq offices. If you've ever read Douglas Coupland's Microserfs, then hopefully you get the reference. If you haven't read it, then you probably just think we're dorks.
Anyhow, check out the video of this incredible Lego creation, and then go raid your old toy closet and pull out the bricks. Time to get crackin' on your own Lego version of Lockout. Ping us when you're done.

Wow, how many hours did that take?
Gamer Named Tim @ Oct 5th 2007 10:26PM
Whoa, now THAT'S devotion.
Dio @ Oct 5th 2007 10:31PM
Wow, the things you see people do while waiting for Halo 3 =/

I like how he didn't have any sand red. It's an amazing color that Lego no longer makes and no one will sell theirs off. I have some, yes I'm a geek.
ReverendGadgetBoy @ Oct 5th 2007 10:34PM
Wow. Alex Kobbs wins the intarwebz.

If i casn't has it, can you ebay it?
Cletus @ Oct 5th 2007 10:40PM
Ok so now what are you going to do with that? Tear it down like every other lego creation that gets made?

Lego : Little Kid : Halo : Big Kid?

Dio @ Oct 5th 2007 10:56PM
WTF happened? D: Please delete this.

Some people would call this guy a nerd, some would say he has to much time on his hands, some would say he never got laid. But you know what I'd call him? A hero!
Great job!

I love how he's just a little cocky ("you can see how it's EXACTLY like the video game, a hurr hurr hurr") but he has a right to be.
h0mi @ Oct 5th 2007 11:53PM
Unbelievable. Good job.
LAZoftheTamarinds @ Oct 6th 2007 12:15AM
Now this is IMPRESSIVE! Better than super halo bros. People with so much free time always amaze me with their creations in a good way. LAZoftheTamarinds gives them 2 thumbs up for their hard work. :)

I have that Lego Yoda on my bookshelf. Gets talked about more by visitors than anything else I have (and ive got way too much weird shit)
I wouldnt be surprised if Mega Bloks does something close to the halo universe at some point. They get something thats even remotely close to Master Chief in a box and they'll get some nice sales
commen-cents @ Oct 6th 2007 12:53AM
ok im sorry but what kind of fucking life does he have that he has the time to do this shit? obviously he doesnt work or go to any sort of school... it must be nice
accidental @ Oct 6th 2007 1:14AM
Turns out you didn't watch it. Or didn't listen, but he mentioned that he was away for the summer and had to finish it later. Looks like it was a year long project, if not more.
driven2sin @ Oct 6th 2007 4:15AM
right he should be spending all that time moving make believe images on a TV
ThornedVenom @ Oct 6th 2007 2:16AM
Dedication can be surprising.
ssuk @ Oct 6th 2007 2:32AM
I notice there's no girl in the equasion here... Shocked? Not a bit.
jones @ Oct 17th 2007 4:35AM
Tribes for the win!
jones @ Oct 17th 2007 4:34AM
Tribes!
eddyk @ Oct 6th 2007 5:51AM
This is useless ...
wickedpheonix @ Oct 6th 2007 7:44AM
That's incredible. Congratulations on your achievement Master Builder, this should probably go to the Bungie front page.
Main thing I have to say though is to Joystiq: a Lego Lockout would be barren, mostly gray and angular structure that would be unimpressive in the way you want purely because it wouldn't be recognized as a Halo Lego even if you played through Halo 2. The reason why this is impressive is because Zanzibar is instantly recognized as Halo stuff, with the big ass fan and all.

that's quality. amazing what people can come up with using LEGO.
Drew @ Oct 6th 2007 12:30PM
Legos were always too expensive for us to afford...
Sandcastle @ Oct 7th 2007 12:51AM
That's quite a lot of effort... Lego remains THE building block of ideas.
HineyWipe @ Oct 6th 2007 3:36PM
Another, I refuse to grow up and have a life video...
Geist @ Oct 6th 2007 4:09PM
I don't see why someone can't do something they like. It's like building model ships or stuff like that. Just because it's lego or videogame-related doesn't make it any worse.
Geist @ Oct 6th 2007 4:07PM
Oh man I'm tired of seeing Halo stuff. This is impressive, don't get me wrong. But damn. Halo halo halo halo halo.
Also, I'd suggest this guy get a useful hobby or something but meh. Probably would be hypocritical or something. Do what you want, is what I say.
Mein Bratwurst @ Oct 7th 2007 12:32AM
Useless, but still awesome.
afiq tadza @ Oct 7th 2007 9:23AM
