Well, maybe not so easy…. My old pal Dave Kaleta has finally finished his A-Z starship project. For those of you who weren’t paying attention in school, that’s 26 ships! Check out the individual posts for all the details and playability features. I especially like how the Y ship can transform from a consonant to a vowel. When the fleet is on patrol, I always stays ahead of E, except when C is in the air. And believe it or not, with all of those powerful engines, more than half of the ships can run silent. Excellent work, Dave! And check out his new contest on Flickr and Instagram. Just click the picture. Original linkOriginal author: El Barto

So you’re drawing a camel, and you’re about half done when a commercial comes on for the Kenner Star Wars Death Star playset so naturally you look up and watch.

Ok, let’s go clockwise…GAH! Welcome to my childhood, thanks for a dose of nostalgia derjoe. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Yesterday The Batman director Matt Reeves gave us a first look at the Batmobile from the movie. I’m not sure if LEGO will be doing any sets for this movie but more than likely they will since they’re pretty big on Batman. The Batmobile doesn’t have the classic feel to it and it has a suped up engine on the back. If LEGO does decide to release a set for The Batman, I wonder how they would do it, especially with the engine. The film releases on June 25, 2021 so they still have time to plan out the design.
