    This is a pair of single spiral high heel (that's kind of similar to this thing) from designer Julian Hakes. It looks like something you'd see in a cheesy futuristic movie. It's not though, it's a real shoe and you can buy them in a bunch of different colors for around $205. ... / Continue →

    I have already seen this Lego by using Fusion Time Travels Back To The Future car. It turns out extremely well for us hardcore BTTF fans!

    - Ramming into a movie theatre in the middle of the night going 88MPH!"
