Motorized Lego Technic Avatar Helicopter is Grounded—For Now
Give this Lego Avatar helicopter a few aerodynamic tweaks, a slightly more powerful engine and a pilot spouting off canned, predictable dialogue, and I could easily see it taking flight, literally, to fight the Na'Vi.
Scale model of the Battle Helicopter form James Cameron's Avatar.
Made for a LEGO building competition.
Looks pretty sturdy too, which is incredibly important should the pilot happen to have a James Cameron-sized ego. [Nowhere Else, Via: CrunchGear], Via: Gizmodo, Via: Youtube

Skeleton Disco Ball
Death to disco! The perfect light effect for your Halloween party. This skull shaped disco ball spins from its own motor, so set up and use is simple. Mirrored mosaic glass tiles cover the 8 inch skull, and it also has red light up LED eyes for an added scare. Motor requires 1 D battery and 3 AA batteries, not included. LINK
