So. My friend has made a product that any LEGO-loving family needs YESTERDAY. And you can buy one!

The Brick Hero Case is a lightweight travel case for Legos. Great details like a no-spill mesh pocket, an integrated baseplate, a 2-way zipper.

Seriously, this thing fills such a gap in any LEGO family's life. She has 500 of them sitting in her apartment in Berlin, go grab yours!

Finally saw the Fantastic 4 movie tonight, and really enjoyed it. But came home and dug this vintage item out of my storage. Barely remembered having it. (Spoilers ahead) Was this movie like 80 percent based on this box set? Herbie, Franklin, and Doctor Doom with removable mask!

"The set came with four types of uranium ore, a beta-alpha source, a pure beta source, a gamma source, a spinthariscope, a cloud chamber, an electroscope, a geiger counter, and a manual."
