Someone has to make this into sets that we can all buy. They’re Lego versions of vehicles from your favorite 80′s television shows and they’ve even got Lego characters to match. There’s Ecto-1 from Ghostbusters, The General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard, the GMC Vandura from The A-Team, and KITT from Knight Rider. These are all just labors of love but if the DeLorean from Back to the Future can get made, then these can, too!

The characters from Archer look absolutely huggable as 12″ plush dolls. You can choose between Sterling Archer, Lana Kane, Wee Baby Seamus or even Pam’s Dolphin Puppet. All are available for preorder now with delivery slated for this September.

Dear Booker DeWitt: I know how you can pay down your debt – build custom BioShock Infinite Lego sets for the masses! This design is by builder Cool Whip (not the dessert topping in this case), and there are plenty of details to examine from airships to character minifigs. It’s silly, but my favorite thing is the Lego powdered wig on one of the figures. Small touches make all the difference!

The time is nearly here. Big Chief Studios is making a set of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson figures based on the lovely likenesses of Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. The head sculpts are insanely detailed, but I wouldn’t expect any less from the company’s 12″ figures – just check out their Tenth Doctor collectible for crying out loud.
No word on pre-orders yet, but we’ll keep you updated about when you have your very own Cumberbatch.

It’s time to travel to Endor via Lego bricks! You’ll soon be able to play among the Ewoks and build their village from Return of the Jedi with an almost 2,000 piece set coming from Lego. Yes, you read that number right. It’s on the scale of the epic Lego Death Star and has just as many details. The forest abode has a tree-trunk hideout, net traps, rope walkways, a kitchen, a bedroom, and it even has the spit where they tried to roast Han Solo for dinner.
Besides the playset details, you get a whopping 17 minifigs with the package. They include: Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, R2-D2 Chewbacca, C-3PO, 2 Rebel soldiers, 5 Ewoks, 2 Scout Troopers, and 2 Stormtroopers. You can play for hours making the forces of good and evil do battle with sticks and stones.
The set will be available to purchase in September for $249.99.

Remember that full size LEGO X-Wing we posted about the other day? Now there’s a 1:1 scale Terminator as well.
Built by Martin Latta, this Lego T-800 Terminator model is comprised of approximately 15,000 pieces and even has eyes that light up.
If someone puts a voice chip in it that says “I’ll be back”, I’m staying the heck away in fear of it coming to life and hiding in the rug for me to step on in the night.
