The Simpsons LEGO House

I don't watch The Simpsons much anymore, but I can't deny the appeal of this leaked LEGO set of The Simpsons' house. Based on my own wishful pricing point of 10 cents per piece, this set would run at least $250. In reality it will probably be even more, which doesn't change how much I still want this set:

Lego Ghostbusters HQ

The things people make with Legos never cease to amaze me. Take this model of the Ghostbusters Headquarters, along with Ecto 1 and 2, for example. They were made by Alex Jones, who studied both Ghostbusters films, The Real Ghostbusters, and Ghostbusters: The Video Game before starting the 2 month build. Check out some photos below with the full gallery here, and keep reading for more and a video after the jump. (via)

Stormtroopers by Andy Wells

This reminds me a lot of the "Stormtroopers 365" photo series I featured last year, and with good reason. Flickr user Andy Wells has photographed Stormtroopers -both action figure and Lego- in a vast array of situations. Take a look at some of my favorites below, and view the entire gallery here. (via)

Lego DeLorean becoming a real set

I posted about a fan-made Lego DeLorean, from Back to the Future, way back in May of this year, and apparently the set is actually being produced by LEGO. It will be out next year, I'll I have to try real hard not to act like I'm 7 when it does. Pictures below and video after the jump! (From UPROXX)

I can finally own a Hoverboard from Back to the Future!

I posted about the possibility of this before, but it's now a reality! Alas, it doesn't actually hover and it's $130 (plus shipping), but it IS still pretty awesome. It's an official 1:1 replica of the Mattel Hoverboard used in Back to the Future and would make a great addition to any movie lover's collection. Definitely going on my Christmas list this year, hint hint!

Heroes of Science!

Stormtroopers 365

For now, go here.  I'll edit later.  Nearly a year later, I'm finally editing this post (it's January 22, 2013). I'm sure most of you have already visited the link below and figured out the theme of album. But if not, it's essentially a year's worth of photos of Stormtroopers in various poses and settings. Taken by Flickr user Stefan, it's a pretty neat set and totally worth a look. Check the album out here! First and last photos below:

Legos + Game Boy + Transformers =

The best toy ever made.  Man, I wish I had this when I was a kid... can you imagine if the Game Boy was playable too?

Mattel making Back to the Future hoverboards?

Finally!!  Too bad they won't hover, but still, amazing.  From Vulture:

Perhaps encouraged by Nike's recent released of a limited-edition shoe line based on the self-lacing future shoes from Back to the Future Part II, Mattel has announced plans to potentially release a hover board this Christmas. Says the toy manufacturer, "This totally awesome 1:1 replica of the hover board from the BTTF 2 and BTTF 3 films includes multiple whooshing sounds and will glide over most surfaces," though it won't actually, y'know, hover. ("Check back in 2015 for that feature," the product description adds.) The manufacturer will take orders for the item this March, and provided that its production minimums are met, you'll get your non-hovering hover board this Christmas. Now, who can get to making some giant hologram sharks?
