Scare Trick-or-Treaters with a Rovin’ Pumpkin this Halloween

Posted in DIY by Conner Flynn on October 9th, 2009

Scare Trick-or-Treaters with a Rovin' Pumpkin this HalloweenSure, you could always pump out the sound effects, buy some crappy paper monster decorations and put out a bucket of dry ice, but that stuff isn’t scaring anyone these days. You know what’s scary? Moving pumpkins, that’s what.

I see a pumpkin moving on it’s own and I’m out of there, candy or no candy. The Rovin’ Pumpkin uses Lego and a motor to get around, and anyone standing on your porch will be scared when it starts coming toward them.

15 awesome Star Trek Lego creations

Posted in lego by Conner Flynn on October 1st, 2009

15 awesome Star Trek Lego creationsIt’s a shame that Lego doesn’t have the Star Trek license. There are so many cool ships and scenes from the Star Trek universe that could be built by kids and adults. Instead, it’s up to Lego enthusiasts to create their Trek masterpieces. Below are 15 that we like, but the universe is filled with so many more.

Cellos made of Lego bricks are all well and good and we really dig Lego combination safes, but Star Trek Lego creations are the “logical” choice.

New Xbox 360 Elite holiday bundle with Wireless Controller Game PackMicrosoft has announced a new Xbox 360 holiday bundle. For $299 you get an Elite, Lego Batman, and Pure. That’s a pretty good deal.

The new Elite pack is expected to ship to retailers today, but for the controller bundle you’ll have to wait until November. The holiday is looking good so far.

Posted in USB Flash Drives by Conner Flynn on September 27th, 2009

Lego Star Wars Minifig USB drivesWe love Lego. We love Star Wars. We also love USB gadgets. Combine all three and you have an instant classic with these Lego Star Wars USB Memory Sticks. These come from an Etsy user from Munich, who has created a whole line of Lego USB peripherals.

Yoda is available along with Darth Vader, and a classic Storm Tropper. They’ve also transformed other Lego bricks into USB keys as well. These cute little mini fig drives will cost you $59.95 and hold 2GB to 4GB of data.

Cello made of Lego bricks

Posted in lego by Conner Flynn on September 22nd, 2009

Cello made of Lego bricksLego. We had thought that anything you could make out of Lego bricks had already been made. But we forgot about the classical music scene. This cello is made entirely of Legos. And it’s life sized. And it works.

Brick artist Nathan Sawaya claims that it “sounds different than a regular cello”. Use your imagination. What would a Lego Cello sound like? Yeah, like that. Not tinny, more of a brickish plastic sound. Now we just need the rest of the Lego band. They can tour the country and sell out to geek crowds. Get geek groupies. Dig?

Lego Baseplate Shirt may be the nerdiest shirt ever

Posted in Apparel by Conner Flynn on September 17th, 2009

Lego Baseplate Shirt may be the nerdiest shirt everThis shirt is an awesome idea, but it might be a little too much. I mean, Legos are great and wearing a Lego construction on your chest sounds neat in theory. But in practice I imagine it might not be so cool.

The Brick Construction Shirt features a Lego baseplate on the chest so that you can build whatever you want in bricks and display it. You know, like a TIE Fighter, a message, whatever. Sounds pretty uncomfortable and I’m sure your creations will spend most of their time falling off.

Swiveling DIY Lego iPhone dock

Posted in DIY by Conner Flynn on September 13th, 2009

Swiveling DIY Lego iPhone dockThe iPhone’s display is capable of switching automatically from portrait to landscape mode when you rotate it. So you should have a dock that allows you to view it either way. Sadly most docks are oriented for the vertical portrait mode.

Not this one made by Steven Combs. Steven can go both ways. Rather, his iPhone can. This dock lets him rotate his iPhone and better still, it’s made from gray, black, and white Legos. Instead of buying an expensive rotating dock, why not just do what Steve did?

Lego Walkie Talkies

Posted in lego by Conner Flynn on September 10th, 2009

Lego Walkie TalkiesHave a hankering to play with Legos and walky talkies at the same time? We have you covered. Sure, they are slightly ugly, but they are for the serious Lego addict who doesn’t mind. It’s just the latest in a continuing series of Lego gadgets that have been assaulting us over the last few months.

These sport a 3000 foot range, volume control and push to talk features, while completely lacking style. There’s a clip on the back so you can attach it to your pants. It works on 2 AAA batteries and retails for $28.

Lego Cookie Cutter

Posted in Kitchen by Conner Flynn on September 9th, 2009

Lego Cookie CutterThis one is a win/win. You can’t go wrong with Legos and cookies. Lego cookies are awesome because theoretically you could build with the cookies and then eat your creation with a nice cup of milk. Assuming that it works of course.

According to one review, “the dough sticks to the cutter and is nearly impossible to get it off without ruining the shape”. But that’s what a little flour is for. Anyway, if it works, this is an awesome product for kids and adults alike.

Modi Sofa is configurable

Posted in Furniture by Conner Flynn on August 23rd, 2009

Modi Sofa is configurableAccording to my wife good furniture that fits your unique style and taste is hard to find. The Italian designed Modi Sofa may make things easier. Sort of like Lego, it allows for nearly infinite customization, using modules which you insert in the base to form different shapes and styles of sofas.

There are flat modules, back or arm rest modules, corner pieces, etc. They all fit neatly into the grid base. Finally, you can make your sofa how you want it. They even have a glass top to make an end table or coffee table if you like. Pretty neat. All furniture should be modular.

That brick is ten times the size of an original LEGO brick. It features the usual volume knobs and tuner controls, with AM/FM radio and a snooze feature. Unlike real LEGOs this requires 4 AA batteries.

LEGO Minifig Dynamo Flashlight

Posted in lego by Conner Flynn on August 10th, 2009

LEGO Minifig Dynamo FlashlightWe all love us some LEGO, whether in statue form or as a Foosball table, or whatever. This one takes a green approach, combining LEGO and a flashlight.

This 7″ tall Lego minifig has a set of white LED lights in its right foot that can be used as a flashlight. It’s powered by a dynamo, so you can charge it up by cranking the minifig’s left arm. Yeah, it isn’t really a minifig at 7″ tall. We know.

Mega Bloks Offers Limited Edition Halo Wars Figures

Posted in Mega Bloks by Shane McGlaun on August 3rd, 2009

megablokshaloI played with lots of Lego’s when I was a kid and my mom hated it. I always left the parts around where she would suck them up with the vacuum. I also got into more than one fight with my brother or friends over who got that last set of Lego wheels. You may have heard about the Lego alternative called Mega Bloks.

The company that makes Mega Bloks offers a line of Halo kits for fans of the games. The company is signing fans up to receive limited edition Halo Wars figures given away first come first serve. There will be 9,900 UNSC Steel Spartan figures given out.
