One of my favorite architects now has one of his most famous designs immortalized with Fallingwater in Lego.. How dope is that?!.. Each set comes with building instructions along with exclusive historical photos and materials.. Nice..

Thanks to Biggie-C for the link..

Known for their motorcycle boots.. Alpinestars now has a series of street kicks called the Shibuya.. It's a nice clean shoe that comes in a variety of colors and material/texture choices.. Waterproof.. leather.. canvas.. and breathable mesh.. They come in both lace-up or velcro versions.. The choice is yours..

I saw this one come out a few years ago as a manned mini-tank.. but it now looks like it's evolved to be an un-manned high-speed escort tank.. The Ripsaw MS1 is as tough and dangerous as it looks.. At 0-60 in 3.5 seconds.. it's faster than the majority of sports cars on the street! Operated by one remote driver.. and one remote gunner.. this thing can hunt you down at a top speed of 80mph.. Terrain is not a factor with this one.. Check the vids after the jump..

I really like Mattias Vox's re-vision of the 60's Volvo P1800.. Slated for low volume production.. I wonder if it will ever make it to North America.. I'd like to see a similar re-visit on a 60's Alfa GTA..

Also found this beautiful moulded plywood chair.. It too was originally designed in the 60's.. And is being made again.. and sold again..

I came across a couple of new paintball handguns that caught my eye recently.. Can come in handy for CQB practice etc..

Kingman has produced two new paintball handguns.. The Eraser (all aluminum) and the Chaser (aluminum/polymer).. which use a new smaller paintball size.. at 11mm (.43cal) instead of 17mm (.68cal).. The smaller caliber allows for a smaller form factor.. and more paintballs can fit into the grip/magazine.. It in now more concealable.. more close quarter combative.. more realistic in size..

But if you like big guns.. Tippmann has produced the TPX paintball handgun.. It fires the traditional 17mm (.68cal) paintball.. Picatinny rail.. ammo window.. plus many more features..
