Poor Old Guy...

 An elderly Ontario man was recently turned away from the Legoland Discovery Center in Toronto that he so wanted to visit because of a rather hidden rule that all adults must be accompanying a child. John St-Onge, a 63-year old Lego fanatic, has wanted to visit the flagship Legoland in Denmark, but is unable to due to his failing health. When he learned of the Discovery Center in Toronto, he was delighted, and made the 3-hour trip with his grown daughter Nicole, only to be turned away at the door.

 This is just awful. And stupid. Lego is enjoyed by people of all ages, not just children. Regular Legoland has no such rule as far as my knowledge. All this guy wanted to do was see the exhibits and get some picture references for a build he wants to do. Oddly enough though, the Center does have a monthly adult night, so clearly they recognize that people other than children enjoy Lego, so this policy of theirs simply baffles me.

Just A Quick Blurb

 Remember a while ago, when the CUUSOO review board rejected this Shaun of the Dead set, which was proposed by yatkuu. Well, in the wake of his rejection, yatkuu has posted instructions on how to build the Winchester.
 Two different types of instructions were posted. The first one is in PDF form, with one PDF per floor, done in a similar style to official Lego sets. And the second set of instructions are source files for 3D images of the set.

 And in other news, after the failure of LEGO Universe, which was developed by NetDevil, a new MMO is in the works. This time it will be developed by Norwegian Funcom.
 I find myself unable to get excited about this, mostly because I don't really play MMOs, but also because of LEGO Universe's failures. But we'll see what time has in store.

 I guess I should also include this little bit. LEGO has announced that there will be a LEGO Batman and Superman in the upcoming LEGO movie, set to release February 28, 2014. They will be voiced by Will Arnett and Channing Tatum, respectively. Also announced was that Chris Pratt will be voicing the lead character Emmet.
