This Baby Has His Own Millennium Falcon

by Eric Limer | 12:01 am, April 12th

Little Lucas here is a Star Wars fan. At least he will be if his parents have anything to say about it. When they noticed that Lucas seemed to enjoy playing  in a cardboard box, his parents did the natural thing and used cardboard boxes to build him his very own Millennium Falcon. I hope that kid doesn’t prefer Star Trek. That might not go over well.

Go-Go Gadget Inspector Gadget LEGO Models!

by Max Eddy | 1:00 pm, February 11th

It’s not surprising that popular series like Lord of the Rings and Star Trek are often chosen as subjects by the LEGO modding community, but Alex Jones went a different direction by deciding to create a series of Inspector Gadget LEGO models. While his custom Gadget, Penny, and Brain figs are impressive, the centerpiece of his work is without question the Gadgetmobile. Ingeniously, Jones worked out a way to make the vehicle “transform” as it does in the show — albeit with a bit more work. Now someone just needs to build an enormous The Claw and we’ll be set! See more pictures, after the break.

NES Briefcase Newest (Unofficial) Portable Nintendo Device

by Eric Limer | 1:06 pm, July 11th

Find yourself in need of a portable 8-bit system that can make you look like a hip, on-the-ball, businessman from the 80s? Look no further than the briefcase NES. Need a few really awful “portable system” jokes? Look no further than this post. The new Nintendo ZS (get it? zero screens! HA!) is everything you could possible need for a long day at the office. Except controllers. And a television. And the applicable wires. And maybe a light gun if you want to play Duck Hunt. Maybe two, because the one of them only registers every other shot, but you’re little brother isn’t quite old enough to notice yet. Yup. A long day at the office.

It’s not entirely clear if this is an actual briefcase made from the hide of an NES that wasn’t quite mobile (ha?) enough to get away from its attacker or whether someone just bolted a handle onto their trusty system, but either way, it’s awesome and I want one. Not to play with or anything, but to put on my shelf and use as an excuse for ironically bad humor. The best use for anything.
