Aug 27 2008Grown Man Builds LEGO Boba Fett Costume
Simon, a grown-ass man, went and built himself a full Boba Fett costume out of LEGO pieces. As you can see, it's pretty damn impressive. Right up there with that little kid's cardboard Halo arsenal. Hit the jump for a bunch more of Simon and his costume, along with a Vader version he made as well. Uh-oh -- I just had the most brilliant idea ever.
Introducing the First Annual Geekologie LEGO Leia's Golden Bikini Contest! Full rules follow.

2. Digital photo required in entry
3. Must be holding a sign that reads "Geekologie" or "I Love You Geekologie Writer, I Want To Have Your Babies But Know You Don't Want Kids Right Now And I'm Totally Cool With That" or something similar so I know it's for the contest

Boba Fett dude has some serious time on his hands, and obviously no kids.
The pick of Vader is hilarious. Right up there with grandpa's pj skeletor costume.

Damn! The sad part is my wife would totally agree to build and submit something like this...I wonder if she would let me use hot glue?

Loose interpretation of 'man'. More like man-boy.

lol vader looks like he got an underbite
11. Spencer - August 27, 2008 8:31 PM
Did he really need to make a LEGO cod piece?
12. cbs16 - August 27, 2008 8:35 PM
@11
Yes...... He did.

Soooo...
Last time I watched the original trilogy, Vader wasn't wearing a lampshade.
I mean, I know LEGOs aren't that accurate as building materials, but come on man. Dude looks like he has the Astrodome on his head.

Damn it. I was thinking this would be funny to send a picture of myself then I read rule #4. Figured hey, still. Then read rule #5. DAMN IT.

dad? is that you?
16. guate6 - August 28, 2008 1:17 AM
#1: you call that "serious time" ?
The guy that built the olympics out of legos and out of cards...that's "serious time"
It's cool, I'd do it probably, given the time, boredom (lack of things to do...almost never happens), and enough pieces.
Lampshade Vader FTW?
17. SilverSidedDotCom - August 28, 2008 6:51 AM
Rules 4 and 5....GW is a mind reader!!!!
18. Turd Ferguson - August 28, 2008 9:13 AM
Yesssss!!!!
There IS someone who actually gets laid less than I do!
19. Momboelitist - August 28, 2008 9:21 AM
Something tells me that when this guy is not wearing LEGO underwear, he probably uttering those famous words: You want fries with that?
Likelihood that he'll ever have sexual relations with a real woman - 0%

i love how in my head i say "this guy's a total geek", but at the same time i think "that helmet is totally awesome and i wish i had it".
i'm sure there are many others who feel this way.

monthy alimony and child support: $5 000
divorcer lawyer: $10 000
motel room per night: $50
building and wearing your own LEGO fett costume: PRICELESS.
25. Jordan - August 28, 2008 5:31 PM
It's a trap! The Geekologie Writer just want's to steal your costumes! He doesn't care about the pictures!
