I loved Lego when I was a kid. And I also loved Star Wars.

Here’s a cool combo of the two - an actual MOTORIZED AT AT Walker Check it out.

The challenge is to assemble the thousand-piece kit. Once you’re done, you can actually enjoy your own creation and see it move. Look closely below and you’ll see the lego version of Luke going up the AT AT

Enjoy!

It’s been quite a while since I posted to my toys category. Let me make up for it.

Here’s a good find. It’s the Halo 3 Master Chief action figure by reknowned action figure maker McFarlene Studios

The protagonist of the Halo series stands at 5 inches tall, and has more than 18 points of articulation. Equipped with his trademark assault rifle, Master Chief’s mission is to protect Earth against the Covenant, an alien empire threatening the world in the 26th century.

Check out the detail in this baby…

The wearer is also equipped with a video-visor. So his view of himself becomes exactly what you would see in such games such as Resident Evil or Crysis. The contraption is called the Avatar Machine.
