Growing up, I was a big fan of the original Planet of the Apes movies, and I watched reruns of the short lived TV series too. I have seen most of the new films, but despite the great reviews, they don’t really stack up to the old ones in my book.

Cool LEGO builds are one thing, but when they glow in the dark and look otherworldly, that’s taking it to a whole other level. Take Beyond the Brick’s video tour of the all the glow-in-the-dark builds on display in the black light ‘LEGO Glow Zone’ at Philly Brick Fest 2017 and prepare to be impressed.

Deadpool was the single greatest cinematic masterpiece ever made. In the movie, he has some random products that turned up that totally fit the Merc with a Mouth’s demented personality. Thanks to ThinkGeek you can own some of Deadpool’s stuff for yourself.

Is a game of frisbee not high-tech enough for you? Well, Brookstone, is selling this VFO (Video Flying Object) with a 720P video camera for you to destroy. Okay, they say it’s “super rugged” but clearly you haven’t seen me throw a frisbee.

I think we can all agree that it often takes Superman-like strength and reserve to put up with the yahoos that work in your office. I think pretty much all offices are the same. You have the slacker, the mean bitch/bastard, the weird dude/dudette, and the one guy/gal that does all the work.

Some glorious bastard over on Reddit has cobbled together what might be the funniest fake LEGO kit ever.

You know this Dead Obi-Wan kit would sell if LEGO actually made it, and it would be super cheap to make. 

Stranger Things fans might have to wait until Halloween to get to enjoy season 2 of the awesome Netflix series. Before that (and only just) in September, Funko will drop a new Eleven POP! vinyl figure for you to add to your collection.

Fire trucks, by their very name, should start fires, not put them out. So tinkerer PeterSripol upgraded a toy fire truck with a functional flamethrower so that at least one these vehicles can live up to its name.

Our pal Darth Vader is a complicated character. He starts out as an innocent boy, and then becomes a Force-juiced killing machine of pure evil, before becoming nice again on his deathbed. If Vader is one of your favorite villains, you might want to add this massive Legendary Scale Darth Vader figure to your collection.

Thinking back on my youth spending all the quarters I stole out of my dad’s change cup at the arcade, the video game I hated most was Q*Bert. He always jumped right off the top even when you pushed the joystick the right direction.

You know summer is here when LEGO minifigs can be found hanging out at the beach. After all, they like some fun in the sun and sand too. Robert Carlson of 5MadMovieMakers and some friends to built this awesome LEGO Sand Roller Coaster, and it is a joy to watch in action.
