Fan-Built Lego Of Japan

Complete samurai suit of armor, Horned Minifig clan. I especially enjoy that it is fully jointed.

I saw these fan-built designs on display at the Lego store in Odaiba!

LegoClaw — Experience the failure to grab any prize in miniature – just like the real thing! – with this fully operational Alien Claw model.

LegoRaft — Rollicking 3D action with this motorized whitewater raft, complete with robot, cat and maniac in the middle seat.

LegoAnatomy — Anatomically correct Lego family WAT

If you’d like to see the latest fan-built models, they’re at the Lego store in Odaiba, in the VenusPort mall at Aomi Station. Directions & map are on my website, The Tokyo Guide I Wish I’d Had.

Writing mystery books set in Tokyo is mostly what I do, but I also blog about the odd stuff I see every day in Japan. I'm a graduate of Stanford University and the Sendagaya Japanese Institute in Tokyo, and a member of the International Thriller Writers, the Mystery Writers of America, and Sisters In Crime. When I'm not in Tokyo, I live in San Francisco. I also host a travel site called The Tokyo Guide I Wish I'd Had, so if you're headed to Japan and want to check out the places I take my friends when they're in town, take a look!
