Typography: Alphabet Created From Old Train Set
I've never seen train set typography before today, and I love it! I am a sucker for old trains, and if I had a spare room in my house, I would keep a train set assembled all the time. We've featured a lot of creative alphabets on Bit Rebels before. If you are looking for a creative way to teach your ...
Muppet Fans: A Fabulous Muppet Show Theatre Design
If you are a fan of The Muppet Show, you are going to love this. Lance Cardinal, a student in Vancouver British Columbia, created this scratch built Muppet Theatre Playset that blows my mind. He was inspired by Palisades Toy Company. Palisades is a company that went bankrupt several years ago, and a ...
Photographer Uses Star Wars Toys In Amazing Photo Scenarios
We write about photography way too little here on Bit Rebels, and when we do, it's usually something creepy, weird or just plain wonderful. Personally, I think we should step it up a little and share the awesome world of photography way more and that is my mission for the day, at least when it come ...
Creative Inspiration: The Toy Army Men With A Message
I've played with toy army men for as long as I can remember. The army men they sell these days are a lot different from when I was young. Now you can get fancy army men that snap together into a team, kind of like Lego blocks. But, my favorite ones will always be the old-fashioned, 2-inch tall gr ...
App Gun: Turns Your iPhone Into A Toy Gun Simulator
Finally, we're starting to see some new technology in the accessories for the iPhone. It has long been just in the docks, cases and skins. It's like no one even cared to look beyond the horizon to see what could be done with the iPhone. The fact is, if you just have a bit of imagination, you can ...
Alarmingly Cute Star Wars Bobble Heads Now Available
I am going to go for a strike today with Star Wars related material. With this many years in development, Star Wars certainly deserves all the attention we can throw at it. After all, George Lucas has given us a world within our own and boat loads of gadgets that never would have seen the light of ...
Twitter Paper Toy: For The Seriously Addicted Tweeps
So what does it mean to be addicted to Twitter? That's a question many people have tried to answer. The scale has many ratings and what seems like perfectly normal behavior for some is considered beyond addiction to others. The fine line between these camps would be much too hard to explain, so I ...
The Brick Thief: Lego’s Newest Stop Motion Film
As you know, we write a lot about Lego on Bit Rebels. Sometimes people ask me why we like Lego so much. It's simple really. No matter what age you are, where you live, what you are doing, what problems you have in your life, if you can get your hands on a box of Lego bricks, you can escape into a ...
Yoshi From Super Mario Recreated As Insane Mecha Toy!
When I was young, toys were a lot less technology oriented than they are now. Today it seems toys won't be called toys if they can't message people on the other side of the planet, and help you to rule the world in some odd way. What happened to the metal toy cars and the crayon books that could k ...
Speak & Spell: Simple iPhone 4 Retro Overhaul Decal
Customization has been opened up even more with the release of the iPhone 4. The phone has more "surface" to add stuff to, and due to that, there are now a landslide of new decals, cases and bumps to choose from. New ones are coming out daily, and if you're a design freak like me, you probably wou ...
How To: Make A Creepy Bloody Syringe From Lego
This is so creepy and weird that I must make it. I've heard about a lot of strange things being made out of Lego, but who the hell would ever think to make a bloody syringe?
Admit it, you want one now too, right? I thought so. Besides, I'm sure before today you've thought many times, "Gee, I w ...
The Millennium Falcon Toy Is Now Flying For Real…
When I was a kid, having a toy that could fly for real was only a dream. My gosh, it sounds like it was ages ago when I was a kid... really it wasn't. But back then things just didn't... fly. It's like everything created for kids today is supposed to fly, and these small RC helicopters and planes ...
1989 Flashback: How Lego Bricks Are Made
Out of all the interesting articles on Bit Rebels about Lego bricks, I don't think we've ever covered the most obvious one, which is how Lego bricks are made. Have you ever thought about that before? I've noticed that Lego products are more expensive and higher quality than other building block br ...
How To: Win A Water Balloon Fight!
When I was a kid, there were no computer games, so we were always outside playing. I think the only time you would catch us indoors was when it was cartoon time, or if it was raining. We would always call our playmates and play a number of outdoor games like soccer, hide-and-seek, hop scotch, Chin ...
Tired Of Your Ordinary Rubik’s Cube? – Customize it!
Sometimes I think that we all have a Rubik's Cube at home. They're everywhere and nowhere at the same time. I know it almost sounds hysterical and weird but it's the doggone truth. They are on the bus, on the plane and even in the store. Everyone seems to think they will get smarter if they play ...
