Posted on by

If you love spending your downtime binging on Netflix shows or building LEGO sets for fun, then you’ve reached the right spot. This collection includes five spectacular designs where the world of Netflix meets the haven of LEGO! That’s right, we’ve curated a collection of super fun, detailed, and intricate LEGO collections based on some iconic TV shows and movies. From a LEGO model of the 99th precinct from Brooklyn 99 to an amazing set of the Central Perk Café from Friends – this collection of fantastic LEGO builds is a must-have for the Netflix-binging adults out there.

1. LEGO Brooklyn 99

If I had to pick a comfort show – it would be Brooklyn 99 for me. So you can imagine my excitement when I discovered that LEGO builder Ben Fakhauser has created an amazing build for it! The LEGO model includes the entire 99th precinct, including all the different rooms and characters as well. The build is extremely precise and intricate, consisting of everything – ranging from the bullpen to the printer room, and the captain’s office. Secret details like Holt’s pet corgi Cheddar were integrated as well.

2. LEGO Downtown Abbey Set

LEGO builder BRO3 built a dedicated LEGO set for the historical drama series Downtown Abbey to celebrate the show’s 15th anniversary! This marvelous set displays the old Highclere Castle and is truly detailed. It includes the massive Crawley family, even the butlers and the castle caretakers who are the main cast of the show. The set contains multiple rooms, and 15 minifgures or 16 if you count the dog Pharaoh. It even contains Lady Mary’s bench.

3. LEGO Godzilla

This LEGO version of Godzilla is the first LEGO Godzilla out there, even though there have been ten or more movies already. The build was created by the LEGO lover Matthew Esposito, and it is a small-scale variant of the city-destroying reptile. The LEGO Godzilla is inspired by the ‘King of Monsters’ Godzilla from the 2019 movie. It is a couple of inches tall, equipped with a heavy body and long ass tail. The Godzilla can blow blue flames as well!

4. LEGO Men in Black

Created by the KostyanMan, this custom set of Men in Black depicts the final battle of the first movie in the MIB movie series. It involves MIB agents K and J, driving on a hyperdrive car to the park, to save the world from an evil alien monster! The set includes a diorama with decorations, transforming LTD, the Bug, and some Easter Eggs too. The mini-figures include Agent K, Agent J, Dr.Laurel Weaver, Frank the Pug, and a couple of other characters. J is also holding a baby squid in his arms!

5. LEGO Central Perk

Another LEGO fan created a collectible model of the Central Perk Café to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the iconic show! You can build the legendary TV set, and relive hilarious moments with this detailed building toy. It includes a stage for musical performances, allowing Phoebe to stand tall and sing her legendary songs. The set also includes the iconic seating area, which is removable for easy play. It includes 7 minifigures – Ross, Chandler, Joey, Monica, Phoebe, Rachel, and Gunther!

Netflix won’t be coming to the Vision Pro, but here’s what the streaming app could look like in spatial VR

Posted on by

As the Vision Pro begins rolling out exactly a week from now, news is making way of what users can expect on the game-changing XR headset, and surprisingly enough, some companies have expressly mentioned that their apps won’t be available on the Vision Pro’s app store. Notably, apps like Netflix, YouTube, and Spotify (among others) have announced a soft-boycott of the device. Instead of dedicated versions of the apps, they will only be available through the Vision Pro’s browser, offering a less-than-ideal experience as compared to more tailor-made apps like Disney+, which Apple formally partnered with over the Vision Pro.

Designer: Harshita Jajani

However, that hasn’t stopped designers from making their own versions of popular apps (like this Spotify app) for the XR headset. When Apple debuted the Vision Pro in June last year, it spoke highly of its passthrough interface that practically blurred the lines between reality and digitalism. These UX concepts explore that aspect of spatial computing, putting virtual elements in real spaces in a way that feels incredibly believable.

Designed by Harshita Jajani, this unofficial Netflix ‘app’ for the Vision Pro shows how immersive the streaming service could look in a spatial environment. Jajani took parts of the Netflix interface, translating them rather wonderfully into a style synonymous with the Vision Pro’s digital glass interface. The Netflix app features those classic rounded corners, translucent frosted windows, and the ability to shift from a window screen to a much more immersive full-periphery view.

Maybe Netflix will relent after a few months of withholding on the app, but only time will tell. Disney CEO Bob Iger promised a ‘magical’ experience with the Disney+ app (which will come bundled with the Vision Pro), and if anything Netflix’s own app for the Meta Quest is arguably one of the most immersive and fun experiences out there. However, until that happens, these concepts help fill that void. A void that feels like a lot after you spend $3600 on hardware!
