It looks like there’s a new LEGO Star Wars polybag that has surfaced that goes with the same style as the R3-M2 (40268) from a few months ago which is the Scarif Stormtrooper (40176). Like before, the minifigure goes on a little stand with a background. There’s no word on when it will be available. The R3-M2 was available at LEGOLAND California and only recently in the UK and as far as I know, it hasn’t been available through regular channels like Shop@Home or Toys R Us at this time. The post LEGO Star Wars Scarif Stormtrooper (40176) Polybag Found appeared first on The Brick Fan. Original linkOriginal author: Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

This thing is mesmerizing, totally mesmerizing. This is the Gräjjs 5.1, a kinetic sculpture from builder gonkius, and it's a sight to behold. I can't imagine how much trial and error it took to get all these nested mechanisms to coexist in such a tight but elegant space. Check out the video to see it in motion.

Attention audiophiles, you gotta check this out. The new SBA 1.2 Soundboard is out and it's a beauty. Just look at all those dials, buttons, slider and doohickies, it must be awesome. And if you order now for the bargain price of $9999.99 they throw in a complimentary technic pic, what are you waiting for? Nice one soccersnyderi. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

I can't believe Star Wars turns 40 this year, man I'm old. I can think of no greater single influence in my life, one that turned me into what I am. Star Wars ignited a creative flame in me that has burned fiercely ever since. Model fabricating, filmmaking, visual effects, camera gear and all my other skill sets and nerdy passions can be traced back to this pivotal cinematic moment. Happy birthday Star Wars!
