Ridiculous R2-D2 Now Officially In The Lego Lineup
When looking at the history of Lego, we quickly find that the people at Lego are quite big fans of Star Wars. They have released some really awesome builds that would take you a while to assemble. They don't come cheap either, most of the Star Wars builds are quite expensive. I reckon that has to do ...
Solid Gold C-3PO & Sterling Silver R2-D2 Anniversary Figurines
Time goes by so fast, and before you know it, you will have memories from a time which you thought were never going to become the past. A day can turn into a week and a week to a month in a way that will almost scare the socks off your feet. An interesting thought though is that if you keep thinking ...
Lego Beer Machine Opens & Cools Your Beer Like A Boss
I bet some of you are ready for the weekend to embrace you. Well, it's only Thursday morning here as I am writing this, so it will still be a couple more days until you can break free from the claws of work. For some people, the weekend is all about relaxation and fun. Here at Bit Rebels we value yo ...
Retro Defined In This Lego Game Boy Transformer
The way people help things evolve is often by trying to predict the future in some obscure way. However, the best predictions have come from actually watching the past, and what we did wrong. The corrections of our mistakes is usually how we evolve, and that serves as a great indicator for what will ...
Trekkies: Microsoft Creates The First Universal Translator
Just four short months ago, I wrote an article about Star Trek Technologies and how close we are to achieving each one. I think I can speak for most trekkies when I say that the day things like tricorders, replicators, cloaking devices and universal translators all be come realities is going to be v ...

The Learning Power Of Lego [Infographic]
It's a day of joy today since I have finally found something that is very dear to our hearts over here at Bit Rebels. No, it doesn't have anything to do with Star Wars (even though that too is close to our hearts), but the one building block that had the most impact on our learning when we are young ...
The Lives Of Hipster Superheroes
I have to admit that I don't fully understand the concept behind being a hipster. Sure, I do understand what it is all about, but the origin of it is somewhat foggy to me. So you want to stand out, and you try and create a new fashion with statements that aren't really common to ordinary people's ey ...
Lego Interior Design: Inspiration Added To Everyday Life
For us Lego lovers, seeing those little colorful bricks makes us happy and inspired. One thing I've learned since I've been a writer at Bit Rebels is that people can build anything with Lego, and I don't just mean your typical builds. We've featured a Lego car (that works), a Lego bicycle and even a ...
Rock Concert Audience Hand Gesture Evolution
Everything goes through a transformation. It doesn't matter if it is a diamond or some new product from Apple. Whatever it is, it goes through a constant change, and that is just how the world works. It's called evolution, and it is a powerful tool that both nature and humans have at their disposal ...
Excellent Superheroes & Supervillains Digital Art
I write a lot about superheros and villains because I love the old geeky comic books from the '80s. Even though I haven't seen a comic book in years, those characters never get old. Artists of all kinds seem to be just as inspired by them now as ever before. We've featured nail art, illustrations, a ...
Trippy Welded Art Created From Pure Scrapheap Junk
As the saying goes, one man's trash is another man's treasure. We never know where our discarded gadgets and gear are going to end up. Usually though, it ends up on a scrapheap somewhere waiting to get crushed and chopped up into teeny tiny pieces and recycled. Well, recycled is a pretty broad word ...
2012: The Year Of Infection Zombie Calendar
I have to say, so far this year I have been able to plan my time quite well. There have been a few snags here and there, but nothing that dedication can't fix. It is all thanks to my calendar and the fact that I am actually trying to become a little bit more structured this year. One thing that has ...

We aim to give you the very best of what's out there so you can have something interesting and geeky to check out while relaxing. And what could be better when relaxing than Star Wars gear? It shouldn ...
DIY Star Wars Inspired Death Star Cake
There is nothing that describes awesomeness more than serving a Star Wars inspired cake at a party. I take that back. Serving beer in a retro arcade game modded into a beer cooler/keg, which we've featured before, might be number one on the list. However, a Star Wars cake is definitely up there in g ...
Edible & Breathable Balloons Filled With Sugared Helium
Are you tired of the same old desserts in restaurants? Are the triple chocolate fudge cakes, ice cream sundaes and raspberry cheesecakes not doing it for you anymore? Would you like to try a new kind of dessert? How would you like to taste something that will make you laugh, literally? How about sug ...
