I had totally forgotten about these beatiful *wub*  (imho) ads from Singapore until I welcomed our new friend vhtf.hw.lego who is from Singapore.
Maybe it´s old news but here we go anyway:










Great Ads On

[gylman]

Gosh, I'd love to have some of these as posters to put up in my office. Brilliant!

[Asuka]

Simply great! Especially since it seems that they´re really paying more attention to the
creativ aspect of LEGO nowadays rather than to that annoying "ready for action"-attitude
of the past years....  :-)

[Holodoc]

I would like some bigger pics as well. *wub*
Do you have bigger pics or resources on the web, where we can find better/bigger pictures, Copmike?

[zero1312]

Those are great, especially the ones with the containers and the crane. ;-)

[maiq the liar]

the last 3 ring of adult swim.
Subtle, yet stylish.

EDIT-on a unrelated note, i just ran out of beef jerky ;_;

[Morgan19]

Beautiful! I would buy every single one of those, if they were for sale. C'mon LEGO, tap the market! :)

You've missed the best ones! :-P





That last one is really interesting considering TLG's supposed non-violence policy....PLUS it uses a 2x5 Blue brick!! :-D

There was a topic on these ads a while ago but I can manage to locate it. :-/

Right-click on it, hit "Copy image location" or "Properties". There you should find this:

Shorten it to this:

And voilà!

Wooha! Thanks a lot, oo7! *y*
This is Joe Meno's brickshelf folder. (The editor of Brickjournal) 8-°
Very cool stuff in the upper folders as well. I´d guess it´s one of the biggest folders at brickshelf.

I´m going to ask him about the posters.

Meno On! :-D

You can find the biggest versions of those ads online here:

http://www.thefwa.co...adlego0606.html

and you can get credits behind the ad here:

http://adsoftheworld...print/lego_tank

I'll check to see if there are PDFs of teh ads available, although it may be a challenge - the campaign ran in 2005 or early 2006, and the ad agency doesn't have it listed on their website.

PS. Thanks for the compliment on my gallery - it's not the biggest, though:-) I also have a flickr gallery which has more photos:

Those are awesome *y*
I've saved most of them to my computer and intend to print them off later.

Thanx for sharing,

[Holodoc]

Thanks a lot for your care! *y*  *y*

I also wrote a message to Jan Beyer, maybe he can help out.

BTW:  *yoda* , have you seen this on JM´s flickr page? *sweet*

There have been some other ads that have shown up:

and

Karate Class for Kids

by Grey Worldwide Dubai.


I have a background in advertising, so this is very interesting to me.

To be without a home...
Like a complete unknown...
Like a rolling stone?

[UniqueBuilder]

Ahh, we had a similar ad in a booklet we got for our WWII project a few months ago. There was 25 similar figs with different names under them, such as "Refugee", "Scum", "Nigger" and so on..
And then we were told to write an essay about them.. 8-|

[zouave]

Nice adds. *y* How about some comercials.

[Khorne]

Two more ads I have had on my comp for some time now:


I think they're really beautiful. Lovin' the old skool look.

[Holodoc]

Whoohoo, browsing the links above, I found something less funny:
Handle this with care!
The "creators" of these fake-ads were fired by their agency... X-O
