Amazing Lego Creations

Yes, this is made entirely of legos. Legos have taken on a life of their own, it seems.

Recently, the editors of PC Magazine published their list of the "Top 10 Strangest (or Coolest...) Lego Creations". This particular creation [larger image] was made by Nathan Sawaya and used over 10,000 lego pieces and required more than 3 months to make this "Han Solo in Carbonite" masterpiece.

This website has photos of the top ten strangest Lego creations, including amazing items such as functional air conditioners (even though I live in NYC, I have never owned an air conditioner, so this is especially appealing to me), a harpsichord, computers and pinball machine.
