When it comes to Star Trek, I am Team Picard. That said, I do like the new Star Trek films as well. Action figure collectors and Star Trek fans will want to add this impressive Jean-Luc Picard action figure to their collection. QMX’s photo-perfect action figure of TNG’s Captain is 1/6th scale (12″ tall), and it’s not cheap at $199.99.

It’s always cool when someone goes off the books to create something awesome with LEGO bricks. Take builder Mathieu BL. The guy spent 1,200 hours designing and building an intricate model of the iconic Harry Potter locale Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, complete down to the quidditch stadium behind the castle. It took Mathieu around 1200 hours of designing and building, and about 75,000 bricks to complete this impressive construction.

The most reviled toy in the entire toy box at daycare way back in the day was the Jack-in-the-Box. It played creepy music, and you never knew when that clown bastard would pop out. If you have kids and want to scare the crap out of them in a way that a standard Jack-in-the-Box can’t, this is the toy for you. This is Mezco Toyz’ Nightmare on Elm Street Freddy Krueger Burst Box.

Office Space was a fantastic flick. I particularly loved the scene where they beat the stuffing out of the hated laser printer that always says PC LOAD LETTER. Now, Funko has immortalized the main characters of Mike Judge’s classic comedy with their own POP!

If you are building your Star Wars LEGO fleet of spaceships, check this one out. The newly announced LEGO 75244 Star Wars Tantive IV set is headed our way. Also known as the Blockade Runner, it is the Corellian Corvette that carried Princess Leia at the beginning of the original Star Wars movie. The set is one of many LEGO Star Wars sets announced at this year’s Star Wars Celebration event.

There’s something odd about this T-Rex but I can’t put my finger on it. It might be the fact that its body is shaped like a donut. Yeah, that’s it. You’re not looking so ferocious in that shape are you mister T-Rex? Well, I mean, he’ll still tear you apart in the pool.

Man, some of the LEGO builds out there just look so amazing that they barely look like LEGO at all. Take this Imperial Probe Droid based on the droid from The Empire Strikes Back. It was made by Lino Martins, who is obviously a master LEGO builder. Lino put a lot of great details in this droid considering the medium.

You know what I love? Cool coffee mugs. You know what I hate? Cool coffee mugs that are ruined only by a square-shaped lip or other weird shape so that your drink all lands on your chest instead of in your mouth.

Do you think Darth Vader sat in his round ball thing drinking tea at the end of a long, tough day of blowing up planets and force choking people? If he did this would be the kettle Lord Vader would use.

My first brush with Stephen King’s IT came at a young age when I was home one-day in the summer, and found it in my dad’s bookshelf. It scared the crap out of me within a couple of chapters, and I never finished reading it.

If you have been waiting for a Game Of Thrones edition of Monopoly to go with your other 100 Monopoly variants, check this out. There was an earlier version of Game of Thrones Monopoly, but the latest one is way cooler.

Thor’s mighty hammer is pretty damned powerful in the right hands. But it can’t fix everything. What you need is something more versatile, like this special version that packs a complete tool kit inside. It may look like Mjolnir from the outside, but when you set it down and pop it open, it packs a 44-piece tool set inside.

Can you believe that Batman just turned 80 in March? He looks like he hasn’t aged a bit. To celebrate, LEGO has revealed six new sets. It’s a Batman and LEGO fans dream come true. There’s the massive 1,037-piece Batcave Clayface Invasion set (76122), the 200-piece Mr.

DS9 was far from my favorite Star Trek show. I’m still Team Picard. But fans of Star Trek: Deep Space 9 might recall the prototype battleship that was stationed there called the Defiant. This wasn’t a big ship like the Enterprise, but a smaller warship that had cloaking tech, and the ability to smash enemies like the Borg. Eaglemoss Collectibles has a nifty scale model of the warship that’s perfect for an Star Trek collection.
