Vote These Mini LEGO Star Wars Scenes Into Reality

in Approved Products,Toys

We’ve all seen those gazillion piece Lego sets of Imperial Star Destroyers and the Death Star. They’re cool, but so very complicated. Check out these simple, clean, mini scenes from Star Wars that aren’t currently available, but could be with your help. They’re up over on Lego Cuusoo and if they get 10,000 votes they’ll officially be pushed through to the powers that be to see if the kits can be made and sold to the public. There is a whole series planned with the potential for more if the project gets approved.

An AT-AT PC Casemod Even a Jedi Would Love

by Nicole Wakelin on May 7, 2012

in Approved Products,Computers,Gaming,Misc. Gadgets,Misc. Nerdiness,Toys

I know Luke took out a few of these on Hoth, but this is one that even he’d think twice about attacking. I mean, it has glowy lights and stuff so it’s clearly much cooler. This casemod is actually a Hasbro AT-AT with a  Zotax Z68 Mini ITX mobo with an Intel Core i7-2600K CPU, a Sapphire 6870 GPU and 8GB of RAM stuffed inside. I’m going to be honest, I’m not really a spec geek so I have absolutely no idea what that means, but it’s a PC that looks like an AT-AT and it’s awesome!

Vote To Make a Firefly Serenity LEGO Set Happen

by Amy Ratcliffe on May 5, 2012

in Approved Products,Toys

You’re not dreaming. That really is Serenity made from Lego bricks. It’s a beautiful concept that could become a reality with a little help from fans. The set was submitted by LEGOCuusoo user tbone_tbl, and it just needs a couple thousand more votes to be considered for production. Nathan Fillion and Adam Baldwin have already thrown down support for the set on Twitter, and let’s be honest – Browncoats are good at rallying.

Would you buy this set if it makes it to a shelf near you? This Browncoat definitely would.
