Halloween is over, but these geeky costumes are still nothing short of brilliant. They include [Lego](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horror-poster) cosplay and even better, [Lego and Star Wars cosplay](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brickbuilt-star-wars-logo)!

Traditionally, Lego is meant to simulate people, but this is that in reverse, and with brilliant results!

I just love how great they look—and the fact that no one cares what they look like. Case in point: women wearing bricks. If my dream comes true and one day I get to be a cosplay judge, then I would also award bonus points for the use of kitten rubber gloves as part of the the costume.
