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.

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.

I love browsing old magazine scans and when it is a combination of retro toys and cars if is just that bit more special. The toys in question are the Matchbox cars which I am sure many of you will have collected. The superb illustration above and the super sweet Ford GT below is a just a sample of the delights in the 1969 Matchbox Collector’s Catalog.

What you see when you look at a LEGO creation is probably very different to the wild imagination of a young mind. These new LEGO adverts are just so superb in portraying that. Or maybe I have these adverts totally wrong..

You have probably come across tons of Star Wars toy collections but I can guarantee none have been organised as impressively as this Star Wars collection by Josh Budich. He started collecting in 1999 so this may not be the biggest collection around. Upon entering the site you are greeted by a thumbnail gallery of pixel Star Wars characters. By clicking on each thumbnail you open a box of information about the toy along with an image of the toy. I can not stop playing with this amazing site.

We all want a transformers toy and some of us will even create our own transformers toy. But I bet no one would think of using some KFC wrapper scraps and end up with something as awesome looking as this Bumble Bee Transfomer. Create your own if you like as their are tons or images and instructions… if you do GOOD LUCK.

If that is a bit daunting then stick to these super sweet transformers paper toys created by NiceBunny.

As you may have realised by now there is now chance that the Star Wars franchise will ever die to instead of moaning about it here are 10 things that will help you jump on the bandwagon.

Darth Vader figure by KAWS (Above). is being released this Saturday is quite possibly the greatest designer toys and Star Wars figure ever created. Evil has never looked so good.

R2-D2 Pepper Mills. They do exactly what you think they would do. Praise for a clever use of the R2-D2 shape.

Ecko Clothing * Star Wars. Ok I never thought I would see this and I would never wear it… but I cant help loving these hoodies.

Kubrick Star Wars Series 8 -The Phantom Menace. The kubrik and Star Wars collaboration might not appeal to everyone but this about as cute as Star Wars gets…

… or does it. Maybe these Star Wars slippers are the cutest things you have seen.

Lego Star Wars Motorized Walking AT-AT. Nothing new here then because LEGO and Star Wars were just made for each other but you really have to admire this for what it does.

Die hard fans will love waking up next to Darth Vader so this Darth Vader Projector Alarm Clock is perfect for the enthusiasts.

Live the Star Wars dream. No seriously you can have your room like above my hiring a Star Wars designer.

Wiimote Lightsaber.. that phrase is enough for me to get excited about.

Suckadelic Toys. Awesome spoof toys I have had my eyes on for a while.. and now they even have their own commercial.

To finish off how about something you should stay away from.. yes you guessed it FAKE star wars toys.. STAR TEAM.

Regular readers will have seen many great uses for the dead Cassette Tape but it looks as though there is mor to the cassette tape culture then I expected. Design boom takes a loot at the growing Cassette Tape Culture. The highlights on the list are the transformers cassette tape and the dress created by weaving cassette tap.

The Munsters hottest car, The Munster Koach, is now available to download for free so you can enjoy and build your very own Munster Koach Paper Toy Car. The detail in the car is quite amazing and you will find tons of other great paper crafts to download for free at Paper Inside.

Eric Harshbarger has created these stunning LEGO sculptures which fit into any fun loving persons house perfectly. The LEGO desk is built out of approximately 35,000 LEGO bricks and weighs roughly 120 pounds. If you think the desk is impressive in my opinion it does not compare to the LEGO grandfather clock. Eric is a true LEGO master.
