I am always impressed by a good Lego build and just about anything NXT is usually right up amongst the best. The model in the video is a spider that immediately gave me flashbacks to Runaway. If you are interested in building your own robot spider, you might want to check out Lego Mindstorms NXT Zoo, models include not only the spider but also: alligator, camel, elephant, peacock, bunny, frog, stegosaurus and a delightful skunk with a projectile surprise.

LEGO Creator Monster Dino
Introducing an advanced new Power Functions System designed to bring Creator sets to life via the integration of two interchangeable motors, the Monster Dino can walk and roar at the touch of a button. Controlled by an independent hand-unit, Monster Dino can move forwards, backwards and emit a bloodcurdling roar with fully mechanized joints making it terrifyingly realistic.The unique LEGO Creator concept challenges builders aged 9+ to combine and create each kit into three different build options. In this case, Monster Dino can be re-assembled to introduce two alternative predators – a tail-whipping crocodile and scuttling deadly spider each powered by remote control.

iCoaster
The Magnetix I-Coaster looks like barrels of fun. What can be more fun than sending stainless steel ball bearings racing around a track while listening to your favorite MP3s. It also has a sound effects mode which allows it to emit certain sounds as the ball passes certain points. You can plug your MP3 player of choice into it if you prefer music to sound effects. Video of iCoaster here.

Spiderman and Venom Walkie Talkies
Forget that “age 3-10″ nonsense – geeks of all ages will find it hard to resist a set of walkie-talkies shaped like Spiderman and Venom.
Each character’s right arm turns into an antenna – all you need to do is lift the arm, click the button, and start talking. And if you think I ( a grown man ) would have any reservations about sitting around talking to a friend via a spiderman’s crotch, think again.
