LEGO Blastoff

Posted by Danielle in Collectibles on July 1, 2010

As if 1,204 pieces of pure LEGO space goodness weren’t enough reason to immediately run out and buy the LEGO Shuttle Adventure set, AVAILABLE NOW… they’re also giving away an exclusive, space-LEGO-y magnet to go with:

Also, there’s free shipping. [more excited about the magnet] Space LEGOs, you are the same age as me. Yes, this greatly increases my desire for the magnet. I admit it.

Crafty Star Wars

Posted by Danielle in Crafts & Hobbies on April 5, 2010

I will always be a Star Wars geek. Yes, I like Star Trek, but it’s not like you can crochet a USS Enterprise amigurumi… well, ok, maybe you can, but, point being, there’s lots of things to craft when it comes to the Star Wars universe, and I am not seeing a bunch of Star Trek crafts online. You see? Star Wars WINS. Ahem. ANYWAY. I flipped when I saw these amigurumi at Geek Dad, especially Chewie here. Chewie, you are adorable and totally worth buying a $3.50 pattern so I can create you myself. (You can buy all ten patterns on Etsy.)

Another item in the amazing crafts department is this metro-ticket X-Wing fighter:

It’s a thing of beauty, truly. (I love the X-Wing.) Them being Paris metro tickets makes them that much cooler, I admit.

Last but certainly not least: not really a craft, but LEGO art of the most charming sort. A cross between Star Wars and the utmost in British sensibilities, the cup of TEA. The creator has made the two Keep Calm and Carry On posters available for sale as cards and posters: Imperial version | Rebel version

LEGO Model of 2001's Discovery

Posted by Danielle in Crafts & Hobbies on March 17, 2008

This is one of the most fantastic LEGO models I’ve seen. The Discovery is featured in the films 2001: A Space Odyssey and 2010: The Year We Make Contact, and this model is rendered in meticulous LEGO detail. A real visual treat!
