Lego has made one of their best sets of 2012 at human scale. Made using two (2!!!) million 1x1 bricks—and 3,000 man-hours—it's so big that you can walk inside. It even has a chimney that smokes! Read More >>

Hobbit slippers, it's a fairly simple idea yet we're just really seeing them now nearly 11 years after Hobbits first graced the big screen during The Fellowship of The Ring. Now you can transform your feet into something with such impressive hair it would make Bigfoot jealous, all for only £30-odd all-in, thanks to the great minds at Think Geek. Read More >>
