Mondo Is Releasing A Liquid-Filled Aliens Soundtrack

Mondo Is Releasing A Liquid-Filled Aliens Soundtrack
There will be only 75 of these cool vinyl records in the world. Mondo is going to release a new version of James Horner’s Aliens soundtrack as part of “Alien Day” on April 26th. This new edition is limited to just 75 liquid filled copies.

You read that right. They have liquid inside. Does that mean if you play them too much, they will bleed? Maybe. It will certainly look amazing. Mondo says they are, “Pressed on ultra clear vinyl with Green “Xenomorph Blood” colored liquid inside.”

See it move below:

A certain number of copies will be available at a South Lamar in Austin, Texas pop-up shop on April 26th. Others will go on sale online at 11 a.m. CST. This is a collectible that you don’t want to miss out on. I wish I could get one.

Transformers: The Ultimate Pop-Up Universe

Transformers The Ultimate Pop-Up Universe
Here is what you didn’t even know you were missing. A Transformers book where the robots actually transform. Matthew Reinhart and Emiliano Santalucia have created one excellent book here. It celebrates the 30th anniversary of the Transformers toy line. It features pop-up paper versions of Autobots and Decepticons. Many of them completely transform. How cool is that?

Transformers: The Ultimate Pop-Up Universe is the book we all wish we had as kids, but it is here now to awaken the child inside. You can check out a video review below.

How Expensive Is Darth Vader’s Suit?

How Expensive Is Darth Vader’s Suit
Darth Vader’s suit has a lot of awesome built-in features. We never really learned who built it or how much it cost. One thing is for sure, all of those features don’t come cheap. It must have cost a lot of galactic credits. Well, Shade Station did the research and put a price tag on Darth Vader’s suit.

They compared the suit to real-world technology like space suits and jet fighter helmets, because they are probably the closest things we have to Vader’s gear. Check out the infographic to find out how much it will all cost.

Domo Arigato Poster By Derek Sullivan

Domo Arigato Poster By Derek Sullivan
I love robots. They’ve been a part of my life growing up. They have been a large part of my adult life as well. In childhood I hung with R2-D2 and C-3PO, and as I got older I had fun with bots like Robocop, Terminator and Wall-E. They weave a thread through my sci-fi loving life. That’s probably why I love this charming poster from artist Derek Sullivan where he honors some of pop cultures greatest robots. This 18″ x 24″ print is just awesome.
