Guitar collectors take note: you do not want to pass this opportunity up. Gibson will be creating a limited run of 500 replicas of the 1959 Les Paul Standard. We’re talking identical wiring, identical hardware, identical tuning pegs, identical bridge – everything. This is as real as it gets. At $8,500, it’s relatively expensive but will appreciate in value over the years to come. Link [via]

Building a car from a kit is nothing new. Open any modern auto magazine and you’ll find plenty of that crap in the classifieds. But when one man goes above and beyond to turn a 2001 Mercury Cougar into a fully-functional, stylish Audi R8, well, that’s magic. While there’s just some things that can’t be copied, overall this car looks just like a damn R8. Since the actual Audi R8 is a $100,000+ car, most people won’t have one and... Continue reading

I thought I was a Dark Knight fan. I have the fly joker kicks, the sweet action figures to play with and I even have bat wings tattooed in place of my eyebrows so people know I’m a real fan. But no, that wasn’t good enough. Some other fan boy had to out shine me and now, the tattoos bring nothing but ridicule. Thanks a lot Bob Dullam. You just had to go and build the Batman Tumbler all by... Continue reading

This new LEGO Star Wars toy is the Castle Grayskull of all LEGOs. Fuck Fort Legorado, this LEGO Death Star is twice as much money ($400) and twice as cool. It comes with 25 Star Wars characters LEGO-style, including the “TK-421! Why aren’t you at your post?” Stormtrooper clad Han and Luke. It even has the trash compactor monster that nearly killed Luke in Episode IV. You won’t find a better way to relive your childhood by reenacting the final... Continue reading

  Christopher Reeves only had two enemies whom attacked his vulnerabilities the worst: Horses and Kryptonite, both for different reasons. Kryptonite was among the only materials known to man which could bring the mighty Superman to his knees (other than Lois Lane, of course.) Rumor has it that Superman used Kryptonite as an excuse for his super limp noodle. “Are these sheets made of Kryptonite? Because, uh, you know, it sometimes has that effect.” Designed in special protective casing, the... Continue reading

Comparing to Nokia, LG is doing a far better job in handling illegal “replicas”. That is, they act before the replicas had the chance to become popular, before their own product starts selling, and most importantly before they have to hire a law firm. Across the Easter weekend LG has issued a warning letter to shops in Hong Kong warning them from carrying the SHINE clone (a clone from a mainland Chinese company), the shops were so freaked out and...

We thought the Xun Chi 138 was the smallest cellphone we were ever going to see. Despite their lack of operation, these weeny sized Mini Japanese cellphones are ridiculously smaller than anything else on the market. Of course, these phones are totally incapable of making any calls or sending any texts, but you could probably fool some 6-year-old that what you have is the smallest “working” cell hone ever. You can pick up one of these dwarfs for $3. A... Continue reading
