GoodSmile Company has just posted its figure lineup for next Wonderfestival. As always the quatities are limited so I will head straight to GoodSmile booth to get the new special edition Gradius / SkyGirls Vic Viper.
Besides starring in Gradius games, the Vic Viper appears in Sky Girls anime series (in Episode 7, 14 and 21) produced by Konami. 
I'm a Gradius maniac so I already bought the 1/60 scale model!!

Next 24 February, during Wonderfestival 2008 Winter , Kaiyodo will sale (three months before official release) the Revoltech Edition of  Guren Lagann from TV anime series Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann created by Gainax and co-produced by Aniplex and Konami.
The package on sale during Wonfes at the Gainax booth will feature a special "omake": a drill-shaped key (in 1/1 scale) found by Simon: the fourteen year-old digger from Giha village protagonist of the anime.

Demi has posted a really cool guide to build a Lego Geodesic Dome.
"A geodesic dome is an almost spherical structure based on a network of great circles (geodesics) lying approximately on the surface of a sphere. The geodesics intersect to form triangular elements that have local triangular rigidity and yet also distribute the stress across the entire structure. It is the only man-made structure that becomes proportionally stronger as it increases in size."
If your are a Dome maniac too you should also check the incredible Space Dome created by Christian Treczoks. The whole structure has about 20000 pieces and is made from classic grey (you can’t build a white/dark grey combination with the new colours without gettin eyesores).


One day I will build my own real scale dome waiting for NASA to get humanity colonize the Space!
