lego ads!

[phoinix]

i am not sure if these have been posted here before...

but i just love them!they show what lego is all about (or better say,what it used to be about)

and yet they are so simple!

*wub*

[DoubleT]

Ahh thanks.. where are they from?

And am I the only one that its very unlike Lego to have a Shadow of a Tank?

[Hobbes]

Nope, that surprised me, too...

True, but maybe those are tributes from a fan and not actuals ads, or are they ?

[oo7]

They are from Joe Meno's Brickshelf folder.

I am still unsure of what they are for but I think "they" could have given the Tyrannosaur some legs made of basic bricks.

[Sting]

Too <insert that tiresome argument>.

(LOL. actually these ads, regular or not, capture the spirit of lego perfectly... except maybe the Sherman (or is it a Bradley?) LOL)

[LBaixinho]

Strange... on the last poster (tank) the botton piece is a 2x5 brick?

Hehe, you're right. Maybe it's their way of saying "We'll never build war machinery since the bricks don't exist, but we wanted to show what's possible" X-D

I really like the feeling that they bring. It would be a nice publicity campaign for christmas...

[snefroe]

he probably should have gone for a fire truck instead of a tank, and i guess it's a little bit too difficult to grasp for a child, but they're great! 8-

it's a 2x1 and a 2x4 held together by a 2x4 plate X-D

[Kikuichimonji]

Simplicity is good. I really like these, but the tank surprised me too. Don't think they're official.

[Hobbes]

That would be the obvious explanation (or a 2x2 and 2x3 brick), but there's no visible "gap", so it looks like a 2x5 brick :-P

;-)

[dillthepill]

That's a smart idea. LEGO shoulduse that for those brick buckets they have. That would rake in cash.

[Lord Admiral Helden Ravensdorn]

True, but you people are forgetting that this is no-longer TLC's official "feel".

The generic Shoot-em-up feel is what they are going for, becaues that is what the "target audience" wants.

[Darth_Ewok]

I love em, the tank is a bit odd for them though. It does appeal to the target audience like Admiral Ravensburg said...

[jmenomeno]

Hi all,

these are real ads that were done by an ad agency in South Africa:

Award-winning too.

I really like the simplicity of the concept - with only a few bricks, one's imagination can create any variety of things! As for the tank, that was an interesting choice.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention Joe, a nice add.

God Bless,
