If you want some, freaky LEGOs baby, you betta’ call… Ghostbusters! Back in January, we learned that LEGO would be making an official Ghostbusters LEGO set. The images that were floating around were a fan made set that was put on the Cuusoo site and won enough votes to be turned into an official kit.

The first official pics of that official Ghostbusters LEGO set are now officially official. The pics show off just how awesome the minifigs and the ECTO-1 car look. While the car doesn’t light up like the fan model, the official kit still looks really cool.

The minifigs come complete with a ghost trap and unlicensed nuclear accelerators, otherwise known as proton packs. The official LEGO kit car has a removable roof, which is the only way you can get Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz, Egon Spengler and Winston Zeddemore into the car to fight those ghosts.

The 508-piece set will ship this June for $49.99(USD).

Raising the question of whether Dean Kamen actually invented the Segway, or just discovered it at an archaeological dig, Spin Master’s newest robo-pet Boomer is a remote control dinosaur that self-balances on a set of wheeled feet, terrorizing anyone you tell it to.

If you are an avid fan of the Dr. Who series, you would most probably have your fair share of DVDs (special editions and the rest of the regular airports) as well as merchandise in your home, but there is always room for one more, right? Having a remote controlled TARDIS does sound extremely appealing, but what happens when you spice that up to make it hover around? Totally radical, right? This is what the $59.99 Doctor Who R/C Flying TARDIS delivers, although you will need to deliver the *vworp vworp* sound effects by yourself.

The Doctor Who R/C Flying TARDIS is touted to be the world’s smallest of its kind (which should not come across as surprisin, actually), where it is also an officially licensed Doctor Who merchandise. Capable of performing vertical takeoff and landing, the Doctor Who R/C Flying TARDIS will require up to half an hour in order to charge, where that results in 6 minutes of continuous play time. There are no time controls on the remote though, so do not think that you will be able to travel through time with this – your imagination alone will have to do. Do have a handy supply of AA batteries though, and if you’re going to spend plenty of time with this, we’d suggest you use rechargeables in the long run.
