Tokujin’s very diverse body of work masterfully exists as both amazing works of design and art. Very few are truly able to achieve this without a feeling of self-indulgence. This display (just like all of his other work) is just so damn elegant too.

LEGO has finally made their move into MMOG. Bring all the creativity you’ve applied to your real world LEGO creations into LEGO Universe.
