LEGO Star Wars treats

posted by Duncan at 1:37 pm on October 16th, 2006

I’m in love with LEGO Star Wars II. The game is a work of genius, just like the first. I feel like I’ve been playing it for months and I’ve still got lots to see. What makes me want to play it even more is so I can unlock works of genius like below. These guys should do movies.

Here’s the direct link to the LEGO Star Wars movie.

Underestimate the Force … of water

It’s cool dads next must have accessory. The ‘Star Wars Darth Vader Sprinkler‘. They come up with the strangest promotional products over at the Star Wars shop, but this is about as tenuous as it gets.

I saw this in the Metro on the way to work this morning and it made me chuckle.

Mr Potatoe Head

Playskool now brings the elusive Star Wars potato to you! The dark side incarnation of Mr. Potato …. Darth Tater.

Why do a I find this funnny? but I do.

fancy a millenium falcon computer ?

These were the guys pre-requisites.The basic idea was to place a complete computer inside a toy/model of the
Millenium Falcon. He had several items that he decided he must
have:

  1. All components had to fit inside… all peripherials had to plug into the outside of the toy/model just like a real computer.
  2. The basic toy/model had to be painted acurately, within reason. This meant researching the models used in the movies and making a “best guess” as to the colors and spacing of some parts.
  3. The system must have a unique power light. This was accomplished via a special LED that flashes and fades through all the primary colors of light (red, green, and blue in a single LED)
  4. Through one of the “holes” in the hull, you must be able to see the inner workings of a real hard drive, preferably accented with blue electrical “sparks” when there was drive activity.
  5. It had to have hard drive activity lights placed into the front
    “headlights” of the Falcon. Working engine lights… need I say more?
  6. It had to have adaquate cooling…

NOW see the results
