Quantum Leap – The Gummi Bear Handlink Prop Replica – The Coolest Prop You Can Own

“Quantum Leap” is about to make a comeback.  NBC has commissioned a new pilot to be produced.  Whether the show’s original star, Scott Bakula, is to be involved is yet to be confirmed.  I loved the original series ALOT, so all I can say is that it would be a HUGE mistake not to have his involvement in this project.  At the very least, just to wrap up his original storyline while a new person does the leaping.  How fun would it be if he was now the holographic observer?

Win a Star Wars Google Cardboard VR Headset! Contest Inside!

Know It All Joe Giveaway ContestThe Contest is now CLOSED!

Well, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” has come and… well, stayed. And judging by that box office, it will be around for some time. Love it or hate it, everything is going to be “Star Wars” for quite some time to come. I certainly hope George Lucas got some kind of backend deal and not just a $4 billion straight buy out, because it looks like just one movie is going to make most of that back for Disney, including merchandising, home video, etc… Then again, I doubt he’s complaining about $4 billion.

A Real Millennium Falcon (Drone)

Millennium Falcon Quadcopter Drove NightA very clever “Star Wars” fan has turned his Quadcopter Drone into a a ship that  made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs.  And we all know that ship is the Millennium Falcon.  One of these days I would love to get a Quadcopter, but after seeing this, I don’t think any regular Quadcopter would do now.
