<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-39271  aligncenter" title="space_invaders_packing_tape" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/space_invaders_packing_tape.jpg" alt="space invaders packing tape" width="600" height="364" /></p>
<p>Each roll of Invaders packing tape from <a href="http://www.abrandcalleded.com.au/">A Brand Called Ed</a> comes bedecked with images of your favorite pixelated aliens &#8211; as well as at least one invader I don&#8217;t recognize from the original Taito classic, that dude with the two feet that look like inverted &#8220;T&#8221;s. Do you remember that guy? I sure don&#8217;t.<span id="more-39270"></span></p>
<p>You ca grab a 3-roll pack at Australia&#8217;s <a href="http://www.officeworks.com.au/retail/products/Office-Supplies/Fashion-Stationery/General-Stationery/EGMISTPBBE">Officeworks</a> for $4.79 (AUD &#8211; appx. $4.50 USD). No word on whether or not they&#8217;ll ship worldwide, but if you happen to live down under, you&#8217;re in luck.</p>

<p>With the largest of his creations towering overhead at 22-feet tall, Michael Salter&#8217;s packing foam robot sculptures are a sight to behold. Surrounded by an army of pint-sized sentry Styrobots, the gargantuan &#8216;bot is actually made from discarded packing materials, hung on a wooden skeletal system for support.</p>
