LEGO Ideas – Voltron
April 23rd, 2016
An individual with the handle of len_d69 has introduced a proposal on LEGO Ideas (formerly LEGO CUUSOO) for a Voltron set. What makes this doubly cool isn’t just that it’s a Voltron set, but that it’s composed of the five separate lions, and they can form into Voltron, just like in the show. Like all Ideas/CUUSOO proposals, it requires two things: enough user/voter support, and, more importantly, the approval of the original rights holder.

X Products Can Cannon BATF Restrictions Overturned
April 21st, 2016
The Can Cannon has been acquitted by the BATF! X Products is pleased to announce the re-launch of the infamous Can Cannon soda can launching system for the AR-15 rifle. The Can Cannon has passed the BATF rubber glove test with flying colors. This means that the Can Cannon is 100% street legal and can be attached to an AR-15 lower receiver without being classified as a short barrel rifle or short barrel shotgun. For existing customers this entails a simple part swap, which we’ll be providing free of charge. New customers won’t have to do anything, our re-designed Can Cannon will feature our design changes right out of the box. Here’s the meat and potatoes of the BATF approval letter:
“Our examination determined that the aforementioned design features, combined with thepresence of a permanent and substantial blocking feature located directly in front of the barrel chamber, prevents the chambering of a commercially available .223 Remington caliber ammunition cartridge. FTISB found the submitted sample is designed to only accept a 5.56mm or .223 Remington caliber blank cartridge and the “barrel portion” of the “Can Cannon” incorporating a chamber, is not a firearm barrel.
As a result, if the submitted Can Cannon were assembled to an AR-type firearm receiver incorporating a shoulder stock, this assembly or aggregate of parts would not constitute a “firearm” as defined in the NFA, 26 U.S.C 5845(a)(5). Such an assembly of either of the aforementioned scenarios is lawful.”

Threadsmiths – Cavalier Dress Shirt
April 16th, 2016
Threadsmiths is a company based out of Melborne, Australia which has developed a patented hydrophobic nanotechnology application that repels water and dirt. Their first product was the Cavalier t-shirt, and they’ll soon be expanding their product line with the Cavalier Dress Shirt. Like the Cavalier T-shirt, the Cavalier Dress Shirt is capable of repelling any water-based liquids, and any left over “stains” can easily be washed away with the application of more water.
This is a pre-order, so expect it to be available soon.

Nuka Cola Quantum Available Direct From Jones
April 15th, 2016
If you missed out on your chance to pick up a pack of Nuka Cola Quantum-branded Jones Soda from your local Target store, you’re (kinda) in luck. Jones is currently selling it direct to the consumer, however there is a few caveats:
1) One order per person – 4 bottles per order
2) Quantity is limited
3) It’s pretty darn expensive
On that last bit, it’s not online auction price bad, but at $27/4 bottles, it’s pretty close. This is purely a collectors item, folks. If you want the taste, crack open a Jones Berry Lemonade instead; it’s the same thing.
