Hi all

For once its nice to bring some new that show that Lego is not just being about a toy, but can save a life. ;o)

Some time ago the British presenter Richard Hammond, mainly know in the show Top Gear (About Cars), had a high speed crash, and where feared Brain Dead, but he have recorvered now, and by his own words, was saved by Lego

WhiteHexagon from our Forum have found this quote from The Times:

Hammond, 36, who is now expected to make a full recovery, also said that the accident had reignited his childhood love of Lego and the card game, Top Trumps.

"On a dark and stormy night, within the creepy chambers of the Eurobricks Scary Laboratory, twelve individuals create ghoulish :-X and spooky *alien* minifigs for your Halloween delight."

EB needs your help to determine the winners in the 3 categories: Most Original, Most Scariest, and Best Overall (scary fig including description).

Our member BDD managed to put his hands on one of next year's aquaraiders sets. He made a nice review for us. Find it here.

Lego2000 found this stunning animation on YouTube which we thought was too good to keep to ourselves so we've decided to share it with everyone.
