I’m not a big fan of the Star Wars Legos, but this enormous Millennium Falcon is awesome,

Death Star Designer
Death Star Designer is a website tie-in to Star Wars: Lethal Alliance. As the title suggests, the site puts you in the shoes of an Imperial engineer trying to balance competing design constraints to produce the best possible Death Star.
Star Trek vs. Star Wars
Via Youtube, Star Trek vs. Star Wars. Only problem is that Star Trek is represented by the lameass TNG crew. Picard vs. Darth Vader? Give me a break — while Picard was having an existential crisis over the Prime Directive, Vader would chew him up and spit him out.

That’s more than 8 feet long folks, built from more than 35,000 pieces by Erik Varszegi (pictured posing with the model above). Some lucky bidder paid $31,602 for the Lego model, including certificate of authenticity signed by George Lucas. The proceeds were donated to Habitat for Humanity’s hurricane relief efforts.
