Too bad this Lego sushi is inedible, because it looks oddly delicious! I love the wasabi- that’s got to be a specialty color.

I must be in serious need of a snack because I actually drooled a little bit when I saw these pictures. Of course, it’s hard to tell if that’s because of my love of Legos or sushi- maybe both.

These tasty-looking treats are from Big Daddy Nelson’s flickr page. You can see more photos of the sushi (as well as other lovely Lego landscapes) there!

And now, here’s a completely different take on combining sushi and Legos- it’s real sushi presented on a lego train, sushi-boat style. I guess it’s one way to get that sushi-boat experience from the comfort of your 4-year-old’s bedroom. Check out the video here.

This radio-controlled tank proves that armored military vehicles don’t always carry a deadly payload. In fact, this one delivers a cold, frosty one instead.

The beverage bearing R/C tank doesn’t really care if you drink Bud Light or Bawls, but it will make sure your thirst is quenched, thanks to its 4 built-in can holders.
Not only can it deliver delicious drinks, the little tank can fire 6mm BB bullets at targets up to 90 feet away. That’s right, don’t mess with my Brewskis! Thankfully, there’s a flashing warning light that lets you know to get the heck out of the way. Of course, these Engrish warnings from the manual don’t make me feel too warm and fuzzy about the safety of this thing.

Did I happen to mention that it’s amphibious? Yep, the tank can travel on land or in the water, thanks to a retractable 4-wheel drive mechanism.
When you get near a body of H2O, just flip a switch on the remote and the wheels retract as the tank converts to boat mode (although they do get in the way of the drink holders when stowed).
So what’s not to like? You can find the beer-toting, gun-packing, land-driving, water-floating R/C tank here for £44.99 (appx. $92 USD).

With all of the various devices that we have plugged in, it can feel a bit overwhelming. Containership powersupplies can help keep your fleet of powerstrips in order like a well oiled Navy.
I guess the general idea here is to hold your power adapters in a cute and clever way, having a bit of fun with some organization. According to the company, it’s neat because the cord is in the Containership’s wake. I’m not sure what they’re smoking, but the whole effect is ruined the minute you put a few adapters in it, making it look like your wires are about to pull the whole thing under…your carpet. File this one under good concept, bad follow-through.

If I’ve learned anything in this life, it’s that rich people have spoiled and bratty children. There’s no better way to keep rich demon spawn occupied and eliminate parental interaction, then to buy them something completely ridiculous and let them have at it.
Like this huge ass Pirate ship parked in the room of your choosing, for instance. It’s actually a fancy huge bed. Some features include a play aft deck with working helm, forward deck with sail, walking plank, four cannons, wooden anchor, working brass portholes, wake up brass bell, captain’s quarters in twin or double full, and first mate’s quarters. Prices range from $6650 to $8050

Wally Yachts has continued to develop innovative concepts and minimalist luxury at a rate exceeding any other marine design house on the planet. The company’s latest is the WallyIsland – a 99 meter (325 feet) “gigayacht” that dwarfs the vast majority of luxury megayachts and reconceives the yacht as a floating personal island, a mobile address that can be used as a home, an entertaining space or even a moving exhibition or show space.
