Hasta La Gadget!

Geeks love a good cup of coffee. The caffeine buzz drives the geek. So what better way to have a cup of java then be able to create your very own coffee cup.  Introducing the new coffee cup from ThinkGeek called Build-on Brick Mug.

It’s black in color and doesn’t come with bricks, but is compatible with Lego, PixelBlocks, MegaBlocks, KRE-O, and K’NEX Bricks and has all sorts of holes, so you can attach your favorite blocks.  This opens up the cup to whatever geeky vision you might have while drinking your next cup of coffee. Just image creating the next masterpiece of Lego blocks while sitting at your desk or stuck in a mundane meeting.

The coffee cup is priced at $19.99. Its capacity is 12 ounces, which should be enough java for most people. The cup is unfortunately not dishwasher friendly, so you will have to wash your own cup by hand. This coffee cup is made of BPA-plastic free material and can handle the heat of coffee, but it is not recommended to put it in the microwave as it will be melted.

Yes, it’s already possible to snag a “Lego” iPhone case, but only if you throw some cash Smallworks‘ way. If you’ve been waiting for one that bears Olé Kirk Christiansen’s official branding, then you don’t have much longer to wait. Belkin has signed a licensing deal with the toymaker that will allow it to produce a range of Lego-themed iOS device cases, offering a “buildable” experience — whatever that means. Wake us up when they release a Mindstorms version, please.

Aside from the huggable Totoro, the Catbus is one of the most memorable characters in the 1988 classic My Neighbor Totoro. After all, what’s not to like about a huge multilegged cat that can take you wherever you want to go? And what’s not to like about a LEGO version of said cat?

The LEGO Catbus was made by Tomoyuki Wakata. He wanted to make a version of the Catbus that kids could interact with, so he ended up adding two things that the cartoon Catbus didn’t have: wheels and a handle. The idea is for kids to hold Catbus by Its handle then move him back and forth. Upon doing so, they get a reward: its head, legs and chubby tail move!

Man, people will always find awesome ways to put LEGO together. I wonder where those whiskers and eyes are originally from.

Thanks to the geniuses at ThinkGeek your coffee isn’t the only thing you can completely fix to your liking in the morning. The store’s new 12-ounce Build-On Brick mug is covered in studs and detents so you can accessorize and customize it with your favorite building toy—which of course always means Lego. More »

If you spent the rest of your day putting your skull back together after seeing Gyuta K.’s LEGO Eva Gundam, brace yourself. Because as it turns out, he has an earlier project so awesome it will beam saber your brain to bits. It’s a LEGO action figure of the White Devil, the RX-78-2 Gundam.

Like many action figures, this LEGO Gundam has several points of articulation, making it quite poseable. And like many LEGO creations, the Gundam has swappable parts, including two different chests. One chest has a cockpit for a minifig Amuro Ray while the other transforms into the FF-X7 Core Fighter. I think I just saw parts of your cerebellum drip out of your nose.

Unfortunately, I’m going to have to de-blow your minds. You see, Gyuta K. uploaded the pictures and details of his masterpiece on MOCPages way back in 2010. I know what you’re thinking – LEGO Cuusoo! Gyuta K. did submit a proposal to LEGO’s website, but it was rejected “for not following the Guidelines.” I guess it was just too badass to be mass-produced. Activate your Newtype powers and fly to Gyuta K.’s MOCPages page to see more of the action figure.
