Then go here for pictures of:
? Hobbiton
? The town of Bree and the Inn of the Prancing Pony
? Rivendell
? The mines of Moria
? Isengard and the tower of Orthanc
? The Golden Hall of Edoras
? The beacon towers
? Helm’s Deep
? The Pellinor Fields and Sauron’s armies
? Osgiliath
? Minas Morghul
? The Black Gate of Mordor
? Mount Doom

It’s insane. these were all made by a group of incredibly talented and devoted nerds for Brickcon 2011. If you do one thing today… well, read my Transformers 3 FAQ which should be up in half an hour and send it to every person you know. But if you do two things today, the second should be checking out this amazing feat of nerdery. Infinite thanks to Elizabeth H. for the tip.
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
