LEGO just announce that it will be releasing a limited edition Star Wars model: Darth Vader’s personal flagship, the Super Star Destroyer EXECUTOR. This 3,152 brick model will be the longest Star Wars Lego model ever, measuring 50 inches in length. This behemoth will [...]

Skins, cases and covers for the iPhone 4 are a dime a dozen. If you want to protect your phone but don’t want to settle for a drab and boring Black leather case, the SmallWorks BrickCase might be a consideration. It’s a hard ABS plastic shell that snaps on the back of the phone and [...]

I saw in one of Julie’s recent posts that she’s looking for an EDC flashlight. I’m sure this little flashlight from Perpetual Kid isn’t what she’s looking for, but I think it might make a cute little stocking stuffer. This LEGO Block Key Light measures 2.2″ long x 1.2″ wide x .8″ tall, and it has one white [...]

I would love a set of these, but unfortunately, they [...]
