This LEGO Walking Machine Flips to Move

When you see how this gadget moves, you can't help but say "whoa!" JK Brickworks calls it "unconventional, impractical, and completely awesome," so he had to make one of his own out of LEGO blocks. The original was the Bear Mobill toy from Bandai, but the LEGO version gives us a close-up look at how it's designed, constructed, and why it works. Once he got the first version moving, he started working on the "Imperial" version, which isn't finished, but already resembles an AT-AT from the Star Wars universe. While this contraption does not solve any transport problems for the real world, it makes a fascinating toy, which means it's perfect for Star Wars. (via Laughing Squid)
