The LEGO Group today announced 32 new LEGO Star Wars figures. To celebrate the launch, they created a poster of fun facts fans of both should know. Just a little over 300 days left until Star Wars: The Force Awakens hits theaters! EPIKGO – The Indestructable Hoverboard We just got the Sport model of the EPIKGO hoverboard at my office. Besides being terribly chic, it’s apparently bulletproof. My nerdy solar powered backpack Ok, it’s not just solar powered. It’s also an anti-theft, waterproof marvel that keeps my phone’s power bar from ever getting into the red.Sure the idea seems obvious now – tuck a gigantic solar powered battery pack into an exposed slot and turn the wearer into a walking energy harvester. Simple maybe, but I didn’t […] The office I work in is full of things old people buy to make themselves feel young again. I can honestly say that our awesome new toy, The Swagtron T3 Hoverboard, makes me feel very, very old. I’ll explain why later.
Swagtron T3 Pros There’s no way to overcharge the battery and that means no […] A WiFi camera that makes home and office security a bargain Convenience stores and gas stations are not the only places that utilize security cameras. Security in the digital age has extended more and more to individuals, and the iON the Home HD WiFi camera is a budget-friendly option that can help you monitor your home or office for security purposes, or just to keep an […] Bluetooth 4.1 wireless headphones with crisp, clear sound Wireless headphones aren’t a mind-bending thing anymore now that Apple made them the standard thing-to-be-outraged-over-in-the-new-iPhone fare, thereby killing the cool factor. But let’s be reasonable here. Wires really are a pain when you’re running, trying to get off the bus, or even just standing up from your desk. Wireless headphones make sense, they just don’t […] Coding beginners and experts alike can and should still master Python 3

"I bought a lot more pieces than I actually ended up using in the ship, so if you count those it'd be a lot more.""I like to think that those pieces are just building up my Lego collection, which did not include many grey pieces before this build," he adds.“The Tyrant has about twenty times the volume of the 75055 Star Destroyer below it,” says Raskolnikov.The Tyrant, pictured next to Lego's own Star Destroyer setBut it gets even better, because while it looks cool from the outside, the inside hasn’t been neglected. Raskolnikov actually built an entire interior with different levels and rooms, all manned by Lego minifigures.“It was a high priority for me to have everything come apart as elegantly as possible,” Raskolnikov explains. “The roof sections retain the correct angle when they are removed, and you can simply lift the superstructure off the ship.”He continues: “The only individual piece that you ever have to remove is a technic axle that secures the bridge. The bridge stays in place without it, but I’m afraid that I’ll bump the ship and send it flying if it’s not secured.”
