Patrick Stefanski has turned Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant into a desktop version of L3-37. And thankfully, it isn’t anywhere near as annoying as the actual droid from Solo. He also gave it a British accent. While I can’t stand this annoying droid, this is an awesome project. I love how it says, “what?”every time he interacts with it. Patrick did a solid job with this one.
Holy building bricks Batman! This LEGO Batcave is so amazing only Bruce Wayne could afford it. This six-foot-tall recreation of Wayne Manor and the Batcave was assembled from over 100,000 bricks. The creator thinks. It’s not easy to keep track of as you can imagine. Brent Waller has been working on this masterpiece for a while. There is a carousel of Batmobiles, the familiar dinosaur and all kinds of other nice touches from the comics and the movies. And Wayne Manor sits on top of it all. It is sooooo beautiful. They should have sent a poet…

These Star Trek Discovery Insignia Badges look great and are made from layers of mirrored acrylic and brushed metal textured acrylic for an accurate appearance. They look great and can be customized with officer rank. They also have magnetic back strips. I’m not a big fan of the badges that they use on this show, but these look great.
This Back To The Future Clock Tower Limited Edition Coin is an officially licensed limited edition coin. It may even be legal tender in the future, so it’s great to take with you when you time travel in a DeLorean. Of course everything costs a lot more in the future, so maybe get a bunch of these. It’s limited to just 9,995 pieces worldwide. Awesome.
Students at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden, are working on a real-life version of TARS from Interstellar. This is a smaller version of TARS and it doesn’t move quite as well as the movie version, but given enough time these students can probably get it working even better. They did a fantastic job on this robot. This is a hard one to recreate.

Summer is here so it’s time for a picnic. Why not enjoy your sunshine and food aboard a vessel from a galaxy far, far away? Use these Star Wars Millennium Falcon and TIE Fighter Picnic Blankets. Dine in style aboard the Falcon or dine like an Imperial fighter pilot. These are officially licensed and come with a carry bag. They also have a waterproof base.
In space, no one can hear you scream. Or open a letter. You can’t hear anything in space. Anyway, the Alien Xenomorph letter opener is the perfect desk accessory for a Colonial Marine or regular folks like you and me. It’s an Alien head (from Aliens) with a removable tongue, which holds the blade of the letter opener. Open all of your mail as if a Xenomorph is devouring it. Too bad it doesn’t really eat up those bills.
None of us will ever be able to take a ride in the Millennium Falcon, but at least you can feel like you are on board during your morning coffee. This Star Wars Millennium Falcon Heat Change Mug will take any hot drink into hyperspace. Just add hot liquid and the Millennium Falcon enters hyperspace right before your eyes. Which is kind of how you feel after that first cup of coffee.
