Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

Amazing how few pieces of LEGO it took for the artist to create the iconic look of a scene from Dexter.

“Hate” Doesn’t Cover It: Yoda Transformers Toy

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

This Yoda Transformers “Attack Ship”–unveiled at Toy Fair 2010 and scheduled for release in August–makes me so profoundly unhappy.

These custom Star Wars LEGO minifigs come from Arealight Custom Work, who has more product shots on Flickr. [...]

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

Contrary to what you might think, what appealed to me most about this ridiculous Star Trek helmet toy (featuring flashing light! and antenna thing!) wasn’t that it provided yet more compelling evidence of Star Trek’s inherent uncoolness.

No, I’m just reassured to know that in the future according to Star Trek, simple-yet-effective technology will have been [...]
