There is much to appreciate about a nicely made, jet powered, fire breathing RC dragon.

Robot Kit
I have recently begun tinkering with robot kits and making robots in my garage. As an SF junkie it has been a great way to bond with my 7-year-old, and stay connected to my inner 7-year-old as well.
I am having serious covet attacks while looking at EZ_Robot’s Kit. It will be my next robot purchase.* I can certainly see a lot of options for adapting it to existing toys and models lying around the house.
* I am not shilling, only enthusing. I have no monetary relationship with them (until I buy one of their kits).
Documentary on Star Wars Toys
“Plastic Galaxy: The Story of Star Wars Toys” is a documentary that celebrates the action figures, play sets, space ships, and props we grew up with as kids — and still collect today. Through interviews with collectors, historians, former Kenner and Hasbro employees, and others, the film explores their history, influence, and continued impact on pop culture.
Over at Plastic Galaxy Movie.
It is coming to DVD this summer, and looks like it will be interesting. Of course, a teaser trailer shows very little, but it does bring me back to my childhood enjoyment of Star Wars toys. Though in my case it mostly consisted of coveting the toys of my friends.

Tricorder project
The Tricorder project aims to develop handheld devices that can sense a diverse array of phenomena that we can’t normally see, and intuitively visualize them so we might see temperature or magnetism or pressure as naturally as we see colour.
Go, check it out.
Inflatable Starfleet Captain’s Chair
This inflatable Star Trek Captain’s chair is about as ridiculous as you might expect. The video is pretty funny though.

50 Kilo Lego Battlestar
These images show an incredible attention to detail. It boggles my mind. Many kudos to Garry King, the creator of this massive LEGO Battlestar Galactica Valkyrie.
50.3 kilos of pure LEGO. You could crush a small animal with a thing like that.

Edible Alien Autopsy toy
I think I might have to buy this Alien Autopsy toy from Dr. Dreadful this fall. I like the test tube drink too. For my children, of course (cough).
