Breakfast Links: Lego Millennium Falcon, Magna Carta FS & Manifold
Lego has just released their biggest set ever and happily it is the Ultimate Collectors Millenium Falcon! The price tag on this bad boy? $499.99. That some serious scratch - the Lego shop optimistically has set a limit of 5 of these per customer. I wonder if people really were like,”I got 5 g’s burning a hole in my pants… Man, I need 10 of those!” Gizmodo shows pictures of the unboxing - it’s got 5,000 pieces and a 4 pound manual. Someone I know ought to get one and put that bad boy together. Blindfolded.
So, who knew this? First of all there’s 17 original versions of the Magna Carta? Somehow they’re all original despite the fact that they come from the reigns of 3 different kings? At any rate, the most important one about to go up for sale at Sotheby’s! Ross Perot, the owner, is expecting a sale of $20-$30 million on is $1.5 million original purchase price 2 decades ago. Not bad! I guess that’s why he’s a billionaire. That article also tells of another copy of the Declaration of Independence?? More than that, it was tucked behind a $4 flea-market painting. That’s like a bad movie plot, National Treasure bad.
And lastly a flash game to brighten up your drab and dreary day between those bright spots when you come and find a new post here. Check out Manifold an odd sort of game, where you have a gravity ball that you can chuck around and use to get past all your obstacles. It’s a puzzle game where you need to figure out the right place to shoot the ball and the right direction to have it’s gravity going. It’s fun times and the li’l guy’s so cute!

Heh, I want to see you get that bad boy and airbrush the crap out of it. And hang it from the ceiling. C’mon!
