Lego Uzi is definitely the best because it demonstrates individual creativity and inspires us to pull out our own boxes of legos and invent something!

The action helmet is pretty tight. I am probably the only one who thinks so lol.

I gotta go with the Uzi rubber band machine gun. Its something I can actually get my hands on and use (on mice, opossums, kids and those annoying real estate agents that come knocking at my door on weekends).

The dual screen laptop is pretty cool, too, but would be hell on the back to carry around. Speaking of dual screen laptops, Al, did you happen to see the plug in USB monitor by Samsung at CES? They’re due to come out in March?
