These beautiful coins are from the Perth Mint in Australia. It is their second set of Star Trek coins, this time focused on TNG, with Captain Picard and the USS Enterprise-D.
Each coin is available separately in an illuminated display case, or together in a neat transporter room case. They are really lovely and I especially love that transporter room case, Nice!
This is certainly a first. Don’t tell Kirk and crew, but this building in China looks just like the USS Enterprise from Star Trek. From the ground it just looks like a nice building, but the drone footage from the air shows that it is really a Star Trek ship in dry dock.
It’s actually the headquarters of NetDragon Websoft, a Chinese mobile Internet and gaming company. The company Chairman Liu DeJian is reportedly a Star Trek fan who licensed the rights to construct this Enterprise replica. Construction began in 2008 and was completed in 2014. It cost $160 million in all. This is probably the only Star Trek building/ship in existence.

Phenix Customs makes all kinds of custom Star Wars action figures and not the ones you would expect. Stuff like Obi-Wan’s empty cloak after Vader kills him, the charred remains of Lukes aunt and uncle, chunks of what was formerly Alderaan, and many more. All on the card.
I especially like the severed Wampa arm. Cool stuff. You should definitely go buy something and help support his craft.
These Funko Fifth Element action figures are fun. This is what the figures would have looked like had they been released back in the 1980s by Kenner. They didn’t exist back then, but at least we can own them now.
You can choose from Leeloo in straps, Korben Dallas, the Diva, Ruby Rhod, Leelo out of straps, a Mangalore and Zorg. You have to get the whole set since these really are great displayed together. They are just $9.99 each.
Adam Savage ordered a Star Trek Captains chair online, but it wasn’t as awesome as he thought it would be. So he built his own. He used various build plans that are available online, and customized it with features seen in the Star Trek series.
It may not be 100% accurate, but it is pretty damn close. Check out the video below. He added some of his own nice touches too. Like a drawer underneath for accessories, and the weird viewer thing on the arm of the chair from the pilot episode.
Oh. My. God. I am gonna need a bigger garage if I ever want some Hulkbuster armor this extreme. This life-size Hulkbuster armor was built by a 26-year-old teacher in China named Xing Yile. Awesome stuff like this doesn’t happen overnight. It took two months for him to build this thing. He did have the help of an assistant, but still. This thing is unreal.
It stands 3.4-meters tall and weighs half a ton. They also built a smaller sized Iron Man as a companion piece so you can get an idea of scale I guess. Small Iron Man and gargantuan Hulkbuster armor.

This huge 3’7 by 3′ Millennium Falcon is made out of at least 10,000 pieces of Lego. The amount of detail here is just out of this world. It seems like they got every last bit of the Falcon just right. Han would be proud.
It was created by Titan Creations, a Singapore-based team of builders. Every nook and cranny of the Falcon’s interior is here. This build is just crazy. You can see Chewie and Han in the cockpit. Leia, R2-D2, C-3PO, Luke and Ben Kenobi are all here too.

When I was a kid back in 1977, my favorite droid was R2-D2 of course, but my second favorite was R5-D4. I just really liked the color scheme and the design. R5 was an awesome droid. That’s why Luke almost picked him. Now you can display the best version of R5-D4 that you can buy. This Star Wars R5-D4 Sixth Scale Figure by Sideshow Collectibles is simply stunning.
Slightly larger than R2-D2, Sideshow’s R5-D4 Sixth Scale Figure measures about 8.6 inches tall from antenna to treads. The details are spot on and frankly, have me falling in love with this droid all over again. Every detail of the R5 unit is faithfully replicated, from his desert-worn exterior, to his advanced articulation. Just look at that distinctive head and authentic holographic details. That head can swivel nearly 360 degrees, while a magnetic restraining bolt grants access to a variety of compartments and hinged panels. He also suffers a pop-up “bad motivator,” which is super cool.
He is only $139.99 from Sideshow Collectibles and I’m buying one right away.
