We always knew Darth Vader had to have some fun while not being evil.

Star Wars characters get the vintage treatment or as the as the artist has descrived it “hi-tech meets the middle ages, with accents of the western cowboy & eastern samurai influences”. Check out all the characters at the SILLOF WORKSHOP


Its great to see that vintage coin-op machines are not all being chucked away but instead restored. The Coin-Op collection on flickr is a superb collection and example of what a wonderful sight old coin-op machines can be.



Beetlejuice is one of my favourite movies of all time so I think I will have to grab myself one of these fantastic looking Cult Classics Beetlejuice Action Figure produced by NECA.

Medicom have tons of great movie collaborations for their Kubrick series and this is the1st one in a very long that oozes with extreme excellence. The Darth Maul figure on its own is very cool but the whole with the Sith Speeder really makes a must have set for any Star Wars and Kubrick fan. This should be out for May 2008 so keep a look out.

Various stamp keyboards were made in this style with 1 nations stamps covering each keyboard. The stamps look to be all collectors stamp and so the result is a very vintage looking keyboard. I think you will either love this or hate it.. I can not decided if the cluttered look works. However one thing I am sure about is that you will probably spend more time looking at the keyboard than at the screen trying to work out where on earth all these stamps come from. [via Makezine]


Lunch atop a Skyscraper is a famous photograph by Charles C. Ebbets taken in 1932 during the construction of the GE Building at Rockefeller Center in New York. Brothers Brick has found 2 great remakes of the photo created using LEGO figures but with very different styles.
