An addiction to Lego bricks can make a person do crazy things. For me, it means spending a lot of money on boxed sets. For Thomas Langenbach, an executive at Systems, Applications and Products (SAP), it means scamming Target stores by swapping barcodes on Lego boxes, buying them at a huge discount, and reselling them on eBay.
Even though it’s not yet possible to travel through space and time like the Doctor, you can craft a puppet and let it do the traveling for you.
Alisa Stern designed the adorable and only slightly creepy Doctor Who puppet (all puppets give me the chills). He’s made to look like the 11th Doctor and definitely possesses Matt Smith’s frame and charm. He travels about and keeps a blog, the Doctor Puppet. Follow the Tumblr to keep track of his adventures in New York, Coney Island, Philadelphia and more!
See a few more photos of the puppet’s adventures and see him animated after the break.

This is the most adorable version of the Dynamic Duo ever. You can find them in the Kokeshi Clan store on Etsy along with plenty of other geeky dolls from Star Wars, Star Trek and more. This is the work of Craig Galentine of Temple 7e studio who creates each doll by sanding two wooden pieces and then connecting them with a wooden dowel so their heads will spin. He then hand decorates each doll with acrylic paints and signs the bottom with 7e and the year that it was constructed. They each measure around 4″ tall and would be the perfect addition to any fan’s collection.

There are countless themed variations of Monopoly, but this one is the best yet. Technically, The Doom That Came To Atlantic City isn’t actually a new version of the game, but a loosely based satire that has the monsters from your Lovecraftian nightmares trying to take over South Jersey.
Yeah, because if you were one of the Great Ones wouldn’t you start there, too?
The game is the work of artist Lee Moyer, designer Keith Baker, and sculptor Paul Komoda and has been a work-in-progress for 20 years that is finally going to happen thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign.

Sometimes moving Lego displays or ones that make noises will make me pause (read: scare the bejeezus out of me) when I’m walking down the aisle at my local Target. If I saw this holographic Star Wars Lego display with sound effects, I’d probably jump around with glee and then do just what these guys in Steinkjer, Norway did: film it.
The display shows a fierce battle, and it is careful to remind you that “the animation in this display is for illustrative purposes only.” Hmm, I need to figure out how to set up something similar in my living room.
