  • Proton Torpedo Away!: Death Star Trench Run In LEGO
    June 18, 2013
    This is the Death Star trench run built in LEGO by someone and on display somewhere where Flickr user Abathar was able to take a picture of it. This is that picture. Personally, I think LEGO should make the Death Star Trench Run a real $10,000 playset. I also think one of my... / Continue →
  • LEGO To Produce A Mars Rover Curiosity Playset
    June 17, 2013
    After receiving enough votes on their Cuuso website, LEGO has announced the production of a Mars Rover Curiosity playset. And I will buy it. The set was designed by NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory mechanical engineer Stephen Pakbaz, so obviously it's gonna legit. Plus my bed... / Continue →
  • Love That Ship: Mass Effect's Normandy SR2 In LEGO
    June 14, 2013
    This is the LEGO Normandy SR2 built by Mass Effect fan Ben Caulkins over the last seven months. I, for one, would be honored to serve aboard that ship. Of course, I'd be honored to serve aboard any ship at this point because the Intergalactic Space Ranger Federation has alrea... / Continue →
  • I Could Take Him: Full-Scale LEGO T-800 Terminator
    May 30, 2013
    This is the 15,000-piece, full-scale Terminator T-800 LEGO model built by Martin Latta. I would jump kick that jerk to pieces. He reminds me of one of those anatomical skeletons they used to have in biology class that always I'd fake-hump every time the teacher left the room.... / Continue →
  • So It's Come To This: A Pistol Shaped iPhone Case
    May 28, 2013
    This is the $16 'Pistol Style Protective Plastic Case' made for the iPhone 5. It looks like a copper gun. Kind of. Mostly it just looks ridiculous. I must have one. Plus if we order 3 or more we can get them down to $14.50 apiece. It's the kind of iPhone case I imagine t... / Continue →
  • 5-Million Piece Full Size LEGO X-Wing Fighter Model
    May 23, 2013
    This is the 5,335,200-piece LEGO X-wing fighter, a full-scale version of the 560-piece set the company actually sells. It's not pure LEGO though, it has a steel armature inside so the whole nose doesn't fall off when some tourist turns around and farts at the thing. Facts and... / Continue →
  • LEGO Alien Facehugger Hugging Some Poor Sap's Face
    May 23, 2013
    This is the Alien facehugger made entirely out of LEGO by DeviantARTist AL13N163NA, which then decided to hug dude's face and put an alien baby in him. You know how chestbursters are called chestbursters because they always hatch out of a person's chest? Well that's not entir... / Continue →
  • People Are So Clever: A LEGO Swiss Army Knife Model
    May 20, 2013
    This is the LEGO Swiss Army Knife built by LEGO CUUSO user Robiwan. That's a pretty clever design. Still, you should never, under any circumstances, bring a plastic knife to a ninja sword fight. I know you might fancy yourself some kind of MacGyver that doesn't need anything... / Continue →
  • Another Day, Another Anti-Bruising Banana Holder
    May 7, 2013
    This is the Banana Bunker, a banana transportation device that prevents smashing and bruising. It's not to be confused with a banana hammock, which is what bananas relax in on the beach, or a banana bungalow, which is where bananas go when they want to get out of the sun but i... / Continue →
  • Fully 3-D Printed Plastic Gun Fires A Bullet, Doesn't Break
    May 7, 2013
    This is a test video of what's allegedly the first fully 3-D printed plastic gun (previously: an AR-15 with 3-D printed receiver) firing a bullet and not shattering to pieces in the shooter's hands like I expected. PROTIP: Never bring a plastic fork to a knife fight. I've nev... / Continue →
