The Avengers has taken over movie theaters world wide, and LEGO has partnered with Marvel to create toy versions featuring your favorite superheroes.
Panasonic announces an optically-stabilized 12-35mm F2.8 Micro Four Thirds lens. The 12-35mm lens is equivalent to the 24-70mm focal length on full frame cameras while maintaining a constant F2.8 maximum aperture. The lens includes a nano surface coating for suppression of flare and ghosting, and has a near silent operation during video shooting. The 12-35mm is extremely compact at less than 3″ and weighs in at under 12oz (~300g).

The first time we saw these these type of ads from LEGO, we weren’t sure what they were. Put the different executions from the campaign together and, oh, but of course. We love all the TV shows represented here. Do you? Can you name them all? #90s

War Machine ($240)
Sideshow Collectibles presents the Iron Man 2 War Machine Collectible Figure. The movie-accurate War Machine is highly detailed and features a special color scheme highlighting the well-equipped armor, light-up functions, and weapons.
Whenever I get asked about the one thing I’d take with me if I was stranded on an island, the answer is obvious. A lightsaber, bro! The guys at Wicked Lasers might be on the same page, because they’ve brought us another step closer to the real thing. You can’t chop anybody’s arm off with them but they power on like it’s some real jedi ish about to go down.
The Lasersaber—that’s how they call it to avoid any Lucasfilm lawsuits—is actually a 32-inch polycarbonate blade with an anodized aluminum base that attaches to a Spyder 3 laser. It has some kind of mechanism that makes the sword power on and off like the ones in the movie.
You can purchase your lightsaber/lasersaber at Wicked Lasers.

Looks like the folks over at Cool Hunting received a tour of the Bentley factory in Crewe, England.

Nixon – The Trader ($1000)
Capable of nailing the time to a tenth of second, and yet it doesn’t scream to the world that it’s a sports watch. Instead, it’s tough without being a bully, stylish without being a dandy. It’s a damn capable watch without looking so dreadfully functional. Essentially bombproof – a mix of strong elements in titanium carbide, stainless steel and sapphire crystal – and yet dripping with stealth style. Its seven hand movement means you’ll never be at a loss, and its dark styling means that it’ll never go out of style.
