			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The LEGO Company has always produced very good looking sets. They have even created some expensive and hard to build outstanding collectors&#8217; sets like this impressive <a href="/toys-store/PS1-165993011-B000WLW3W0-LEGO_Star_Wars_Ultimate_Collectors_Millennium_Falcon.html">Millennium Falcon</a>. But what makes the difference is the work produced by independent LEGO artists all over the world.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a small gallery of awesome monsters and aliens made entirely in LEGO. This is not your average MOC (My Own Creation) created with bricks and tiles. These artists use the most strange pieces and uncommon colors LEGO has created. <strong>Don&#8217;t try to do this at home with your kids&#8217; DUPLO sets <img src='http://www.playlandstation.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> !</strong></p>
<p>Before starting with the images, I would like to give credit to the amazing <a href="http://www.brothers-brick.com/">Brick Brothers blog</a> for making this research easier. I suggest you to visit their site to see the latest and most interesting Lego creations available.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s get into our Awesome LEGO Monsters and Aliens Sculptures gallery!</p>

<p>Since year 2001 Lego has been producing Bionicle action figures, one of its most successful line of toys. If you are not familiar with the storyline, all Bionicles names and sets look similar (they are not, of course), so I decided to create a Bionicle timeline using Lego official commercials and other videos available at YouTube.</p>
<p>To know more about the Bionicle storyline and sets, you can go to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bionicle">Bionicle</a> Wikipedia Page and use it as a startup page to all things Bionicle (lots of links and info there). If that&#8217;s not enough, you can check the excellent <a href="http://www.bzpower.com">BZPower</a> website for more interesting information such as news, sets reviews, discussion forums, commercial promotions, and all kind of fan stuff. </p>
<p>I must admit that it was somewhat difficult to build a complete timeline of all Bionicle sets, so I chose only to provide videos for all heroes, neutral and villains characters canister sets, leaving away all the titans and boxed sets. C&#8217;mon, don&#8217;t complain, just sit and enjoy the videos!</p>

<p>Well, that was a nice collection of Lego Bionicle videos and commercials. In some cases, such as Bohrok, Bohrok-kal and Rahkshi, it was difficult to find some videos for them, but fortunately at least one was available for each Bionicle character to complete the timeline.<br />
