Pathfinder and LEGOs should combine to make LEGO dungeons and LEGO pawns and LEGO monsters and LEGO dungeon features!!!
Anyone else agree?
yes. But preparing is going to be a pain.

+1
sure sounds awesome, but I predict some adventure paths will be less "dramatic" as a result, but doubly worth it for the hilarious effect.
I used castle legos when I was a wee lad playing 2nd edition. Of course, the characters just stood there for marching order. We didn't have this fancy tactical movement you kids have nowadays.... grumble, grumble....
Of course if we did it would have been way cooler.
I vote YES!
But some set ups will have "active" traps! And they already have castle sets.
1 nob = 1 foot?
5 nobs = 5 feet?
Mapping can be done in real time--and in 3D!

Mother of God... what have you done to me?!?!
My old GM left his LEGOs behind when he moved to Sweden, and I've finally been noodling around with them. Working on a steampunkish combo of a Firefly and the Tales of the Gold Monkey flying boat....with crenelations.
I used Legos while running Legend of the Five Rings years ago. My players loved it.
I can see it taking time to assemble the dungeon as they are going through it. Did you have the walls premade? How did you work it?

Lego castles used ot hve these wall sections. I'm pretty sure those are still around. And as far as I have seen lego generally seems to tend toward large piees for buildings with more recent sets.
I thought something similar already existed
LEGO Heroica
But i'm not buying it.
Yeah, they have these dungeon-delving board games, which could serve to keep the board smaller. Or alternatively to provide pawns for tiny creatures.
I approve wholeheartedly.
If I had a live group I'd consider it. I've got a massive box of Legos from growing up somewhere in the garage.

They are actually called studs (don't mean to be rude, just an FYI). But yes, 1 stud = 1 foot roughly, making minifigs all 6' tall, and for scale purposes, 1/4 inch equals one foot in Lego minifigure scale.
I myself have used Lego minifigs for my PCs, as with a vector art program and a little time you can make some fairly detailed outfits for them.
LEGOS are expensive. I had a similar idea awhile back and it would be really cool but in the end would have a large start up cost. Spacing is easy because ever 4x4 space is 1 inch. The thing that has for now discouraged me is that the caslte sets and so forth are small in comparison to most published dungeons. The increadibly awesome lego sculptures of lord of the rings sets and so fourth are made with hundreds and hundreds if not thousands of dollars of lego. Can it be done yes. Over many years might it be cheaper than scale model dungeons. Initially no, but they are reusable but take time to assemble. So potential monitary savings.
Personally I think paper dungeon terrain is a cheaper bet. Once you have the tools you need which will cost you less than 20.00. I recommend cardboard in place of foam core(free) or thin cardboard that you get by not throwing away serial boxes (also free) in place of card stock. Printing is what gets expensive here but in comparison to a single Lego Castle set (which will likely not be a full dungeon) at 100.00 + it is cheaper. Paper dungeons has the problem of storage.
I may change my mind after christmas because I plan on spending most of any money my son or I get for Chrismas on Ebay to get legos. So it is possible for significantly less to get a ton of legos.
Well, you can use paper and cardboard combined with Lego
Or just check out the Terraclips Dungeon sets, which are insanely awesome.

You grew up somewhere in the garage? How sad.
:-P
Yeah, I might have enough to make some decent-sized dungeons, since I have my childhood's and the LEGOs from friend's 40s.

On a more practical side, 5-foot-squares are standard measure in D&D/pathfinder. 5-stud-plates don't exist in Lego. I'd say 4x4 plates = 1 battlemap square. Proportions should come close enough.

I saw this and thought of a LEGO Pathfinder game like LEGO Starwars or LEGO Harry Potter.
Then I got the image of the iconics transformed into their LEGO versions and Seoni looking down at her chest in wonderment, and Valeros looking on in disappointment.

Very True!
Its also important to point out that Mega Blocks which are in a limited sense compatable with lego have a World of Warcraft line.

RPGs are expensive enough and now you want me to collect LEGO on top?!?!?
;)
In seriousness, I think it would be fun (at least in a cost free world) but if you have a bunch of LEGO, especially the various castle/fantasy ones (including the Harry Potter and Pirates of the Caribbean ones, because there's lots of good weapons and trap doors and such), you could always do that anyway with an existing adventure.
Now, a video game along the lines of LEGO Star Wars or LEGO Harry Potter or LEGO Batman? I would DEFINITELY be down with that, and unlike the MMO, would pay good money for it. I imagine however brand familiarity and license issues would cause that to remain a fantasy in my own mind, however.

True, and I was going to convey that in my post as I feel the same way. A 4x4 plate is in fact about a 1 inch square (I've done a LOT of size conversion from lego to inches to determine how long any model I build is).
You just have to ignore that your LEGO minifig hero will be a little bigger than your plastic or metal miniature. To me, that's perfectly acceptable as I love the customization possibilities with LEGO figures.

No problem, mine do this too, but I'm also kinda used to "this page/app isn't available in your language"
Lego has lots of good stuff. The castle sets, harry potter sets, there is also a village set with medieval looking or perhaps renaissance stuff.
