December 21, 2005: The Ultimate Geek Toy?

Okay, that's a moving target. There's always SOMETHING else coming along.

Nevertheless: this is cool. Being auctioned for charity, and already over $31,000, is an 8-foot Lego model of a Rebel Attack Cruiser from Star Wars 3. It was created by Lego Master Builder Erik Varszegi as part of the film's promotion, and is now being sold with the blessing of Lucasfilm (and a certificate with George Lucas' signature).

If I were a big-budget company with a Star Wars license, you can bet I'd be bidding on this myself and planning to win. As it is, I just hope whoever gets it will put it up where a lot of people can see it and give it the WOW it deserves.

Warehouse 23 News: Roll With The Punches

And kicks. And breath attacks. And . . . well, it goes on like that for a while, but the point here is that Cheapass Games has released a Diceland expansion called Diceland: Dragons. It's fun, it's cheap, and it's got pictures of dragons on it. So it's just about perfect, right?
