Lego builder Jared Rosenblitt is a huge Metroid fan - he's already created an awesome Meta Ridley and Samus showdown using the famous Danish construction toy - and now he's back with another Metroid-themed creation, this time detailing the famous opening boss battle in Metroid Prime.
Rosenblitt showed off his creation at BrickFair Virginia 2016, where Beyond the Brick caught up with him for an interview and in-depth tour through the scene:
Metroid isn't the only Nintendo series that Rosenblitt has immortalised in block form; he's also created a cool Yveltal from Pokémon X & Y.
Now if only we could get official versions of these sets...

Love this... it's the sort of stuff I want displayed in my Nintendo room!
Haha, that looks fantastic. Good work. Love the lighting on it.
Can't help but to think that boss looks just like one of my old insecticon transformers back in the day. Nice creation that's for sure!
"Now if only we could get official versions of these sets"
Or an amiibo based Lego game, or an amiibo game, that let us revisit some classic Nintendo moments. Have some SSB, some MK, some Wii Sports, Pikmin. Something like Kingdom Hearts, but with Nintendo instead of Disney. Nintendo Land did this to some degree but there was no connectivity between the worlds, and I'd like a story with Mario leading the charge, something akin to TTYD.
I already have a storyline. After years of always losing Bowser and Ganon switch off to defeat their foes, Bowser kidnapping Zelda, Ganon kidnapping Peach. It starts with Mario to set a funny tone, then meet up with kid Toon Link,men go explore other world's together meeting up w/ all the others. Subspace Emmissary is a good starting point as well. But get those amiibo involved.
Seen this yesterday. It looks cool. Fair play to him.
There was a Kraid model at the show too, pretty impressive!
Uh, guys? I know you love Pokemon, but it's Brickfair, not Brockfair.
A C&D letter is in the post
Pretty cool and very creative.
....I was expecting a stop-motion animation. T.T
Nintendo feels your legos are infringing on their IP. Reggie has been dispatched to break your legos, be advised.
This is awesome. I would love to have time and talent to make something like this...
C'mon Ninty, you did Nintendo x Vans and it was awesome, now for Nintendo x LEGO! The fans demand it!
'Tis pretty cool.
@Chibiterasu unfortunately we are stuck with k'nex Mario stuff. It's cool, sure but pales in comparison to LEGO.
That's build is awesome, I'd buy that set! ^__^
Awesome
Making an awesome remake of Metroid 2, creating classic Metroid scenes with Legos...
Metroid fans are the best!
Very cool but I would much prefer a proper Minifig of Samus. If only Nintendo would drop K'nex!
I'd 100% buy a Nintendo Minifig series, ridiculous price be damned!
Still huge props to the guy who made this
Looks awesome wouldn't mind playing some Nintendo IP's in lego form.
Question: What other nintendo boss would you want "immortalised" in lego? For me it would probably be N from Pokemon Black or maybe a boss from Xenoblade.
@Ed_Fairway How about Iwata? I'd say he's the best Nintendo boss.
Yeah, now if only we can get an official Nintendo Lego Set. Nintendo, make it happen. -.-
Cool stuff.
@happylittlepigs "How about Iwata? I'd say he's the best Nintendo boss", heartwarming pun there. If memory serves me right he did get a minifigure version of himself from Lego.
Wow!!!!!!! Is this on the Lego Ideas site?
