Legos sure have gotten much more complicated than when we were playing with them as kids. This new Lego Taj Mahal set features a staggering 5,922 pieces and stands at over 20 inches wide and 16 inches tall, with details such as minarets, domes, arches, and stairs. $300.
If you have never seen a film by Akira Kurosawa then you are truly missing out. To celebrate what would have been his 100th birthday, this new collection, known as AK 100 will be released, including 25 of his best films, like Rashomon, Seven Samurai, The Hidden Fortress, and four rare titles never released on DVD. $300.
Should your road trip take longer than expected, don’t worry about your bags getting banged up, if your bag is a Tumi Vapor. The triple polycarbonate shell is designed for travel’s punishments without a care in the world. Around the already tough shell are molded bumpers to give added protection. Style wasn’t compromised by the toughness however, as the printed exterior graphics reduce surface marks. TSA-approved surface-mounted locks and the 360-degree swivel wheels mean you’ll just breeze through customs check and through those dull airport lounges. $395+.
You won’t beat any speed records with the iREV Recreational Vessel but you’ll surely win style points with nine of your closest friends. It’s basically a floating grill/entertainment center where you can just lazily lounge around. Put in a low-smoke grill for a floating barbecue, or slap in a couple of speakers for a truly unique aquatic experience. Motothority, the manufacturer of the iREV, feels that their vehicle suits every demographic – from special events promoters, to weekend warriors who just want to chill. $24,000.
How does this sound for an idea for a brand new video game? Jack Black plays the world’s greatest roadie who gets sent back in time to save an ancient world of heavy metal from destruction. Awesome right? Well that’s Brutal Legend, complete with a 108 song all-metal soundtrack to keep you banging your head all night long. $57.
The Cyberbike is being developed by European publisher Bigben Interactive and comes bundled with some sort of lame treehugger game that requires you clean up the planet with the power of your eco-calves (don’t worry, it also works with Mario Kart). The bike is slated for a January release in Europe, but pricing details have not been announced. Granted, it will most likely be cheaper than purchasing an actual exercise bike, but I can’t imagine that some plastic, boxed Wii accessory will be able to handle the beating. Even professional stationary bikes break down on a fairly regular basis. $TBA.
