LEGO Batman Minifigs Break Cover

Give your minifigs the hero they deserve – and the villain they don’t – with these LEGO Batman minifigures. They’re far from the first minifigs of Batman or even Bane, but they are the best ones yet. And while they’re not officially tied to The Dark Knight Rises, you’ll still have a hard time understanding minifig Bane.

OLED Lego train station emerges from Adafruit and Arduino gear, minifigs to get home on time

Who knew Lego characters had to be somewhere in a hurry? Adafruit did, as it just whipped up a minifig-sized train schedule. The invention mates one of Adafruit's own 1-inch OLED boards with an Arduino Uno controlling the schedule behind the scenes. It looks to be a straightforward project for the DIY types, although the display is currently all show: the schedule doesn't (yet) pair up with the train tracks to automatically let your minifigs know if their trip to the pirate spaceship castle has been delayed by ghosts. You can check the source link for the full instructions. Duplo builders, alas, are kept out of the loop.
