Blu-Ray Lase Phaser

This guy, Kipkay, found an old Star Trek Laser Phaser toy 1976. The design is cool, but the light in it is a tad too wee. So he replaced the original lamp with a laser diode from a PlayStation 3 Blu-Ray laser pickup. The result: A great looking laser beam.

And he even had the courtesy of telling the world how to do it, for under $100!

Over at the star wars site are a number of interactive crafts, and games to play. My favorite among them is the Kid’s Craft Corner where there are instructions on how to make star wars characters out of everyday items. If you want to make an R2D2 mailbox or a Bean Art Portrait of Bossk (pictured above) then this is the perfect playground for you. And who says playing with paste is for kids??
