Whoever created these $US22 polymer clay Millennium Falcon cufflinks forgot a simple fact: People who buy Star Wars merchandise rarely wear anything else but t-shirts or fake Imperial Stormtrooper plastic armours. [Etsy via Geeky Gadget]

Stop Action Lego Millenium Falcon Build Proves Why The Internet Is Awesome

Nick Broughall — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 22:37:34 +0000

After you watch this stop-action film of a Lego Millenium Falcon construction by Paul Romein and Greg Radzimowsky, close your eyes and imagine what your life would be like without the Internet. For a start, you would never have had the opportunity to watch this little film. In fact, Paul and Greg probably wouldn’t have even bothered to make it, instead opting to just make the Lego starship and run around the area pretending to fly it without a camera. There’d also be no Gizmodo, which would mean I’d probably be unemployed, spending my days thinking about making a stop action Lego movie myself, but for the fact that without the Internet, I’d have no real way to share it with the world. And in the end, that’s what really makes the Internet so awesome, isn’t it?

Millennium Falcon Sled is as Close as You’ll Ever Get to the Real Thing

You may never fly the Millennium Falcon with a Wookie by your side, but at least you can fly down a hill on a rough approximation of the famous ship. That’s still pretty good.

The Millennium Falcon sled is essentially a souped-up saucer sled, allowing you to fly down an icy slope, spinning around wildly and running into young kids who aren’t quite sure what someone as old as you is doing on the old sledding hill. It’s pretty expensive for a saucer sled at $US34.99, but at the end of the day, it’s shaped like the Millennium Falcon. I mean, come on. [Amazon via Oh Gizmo!]
