The Awesome Thread For Things That Are Awesome

[Goose]

We've got threads for personal joy, images, videos, whatever, but we need a seperate thread for things that are just stupendously over-the-top ridiculously awesome.  Like this.



Official Lego Super Star Destroyer

3,152 pieces
50 inches long
8 pounds
$400

Biggest standalone model that Lego has ever put out.  Bloody awesome.

WOW.

I actually have a X-Wing and The Sith-Infiltrator 7151 made out of legos that I made when I was younger, whos pieces were around 300 each if i had to guess, and at the time found those frustrating.

I can't imagine the amount of hours, and let alone patience that has to go into that thing, but goddamn do i want to try!

This really could become a star wars thread.

This has come closer than anything else to making me buy an iPad...



And I would love to make one of these at some point.  I use my cutting board everyday, and this would make cooking that much more awesome.

My money's on Bill.

No way. There is just no way. Just...no way.

I never can justify spending money on toys. I just have no business doing it. But I have been wanting a Nerf Vulcan in a bad way. The college where I work had this Humans VS Zombie competition and the students all had Nerf guns. Since then, I've just really, really been itching to get one of these. It's fully automatic.

@Nadia: That Vulcan is fucking awesome.

@Goose: Okay, that made me laugh. Hard.

Nerf Vulcan

My brother's ex gave him one of those when they were still together.  It's pretty impressive.

[chimera]

Yeah my son has one of those too, or maybe the gun that's a step down from that one.

Speaking of awesome things you can do with LEGOs:

...and it works (reportedly).

[individualzero]

Holy crap. Whether or not that works, that's amazing.

At first I was like, "Is the Star Wars: Galaxies emulator FINALLY being launched?", but then I actually read the article and I was like FUCK YEAH. That could and should be an utter blast to play.

someone posted a mod of that on Wired a year or so ago where they hacked it to fire something like 400 rounds/minute.
