The Astrosurfer: an atomic-powered intergalactic sports car, accompanied by the hit new space rock band The Highway Stars! This epic futuristic vehicle is detailed and articulated with wheels, rubber tires, hinged doors, reclining seats, and with access to the car’s trunk. On the hood of the car is a metallic minifigure hood ornament, and underneath is a detailed engine. In the rear of the car are two folding jet engines, a set of tailpipes, a spoiler, and an Octan bumper sticker.
Background: this project was initially conceived back in fall 2015, during my long, imaginative train of thought. In late November of 2015, I took some photos of my Futuron minifigs in front of Christmas lights for an artistic bokeh effect. This led me to come up with the idea of taking a group shot of a few spacemen hanging out as friends, accompanied by lyrics from the Ramones song “I Just Want to Have Something to Do.” This soon evolved into the idea of making each of the spacemen as musicians in a fictional band, that was inspired by the music video for the aforementioned song — which starts off with the Ramones playing the song in the back of a car. With this concept in mind, in early December I took a photo of some Futuron minifigs playing instruments in front of Christmas lights. Upon releasing this photo, I was then struck with another bolt of inspiration while watching the music video for Monster Magnet’s “Negasonic Teenage Warhead“: towards the end of the video, the band takes off in a purple classic Buick and flies through space! This idea hit me, and that night I had a dream to build a futuristic space sports car being driven by a rock band — essentially an amalgamation of those videos by the Ramones and Monster Magnet, along with my previous LEGO space photography!
Production for this creation began immediately after Christmas 2015, as I was preoccupied in December with production of my LEGO Nutcrackers and electronic Mega Man sprite. The bulk of this model was completed in the middle of January, but unfortunately I ran into one tiny (yet major) obstacle: I wanted a Classic Space symbol flag for the car’s antenna, however the Collectible Minifigure that contained this particular part wasn’t available in the United States yet. It wasn’t until early February that these figures were available (scarcely) at my local Toys ‘Я’ Us in Whitestone. I felt up all of the packages, and managed to snag the very last astronaut, thus obtaining that seemingly-insignificant flag for the antenna!
The five astronauts are made from authentic Classic Space minifig bodies, hence the noticeable play wear in their insignia. I did however deviate by giving them helmets with color-coordinated visors, as well as contemporary faces. The instruments were from other Collectible Minifigure sets, with the exception of the drum kit. For the car’s design, I initially wanted to build an accurate replica of a 1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air or perhaps a Cadillac Eldorado — but instead, I opted to make an original design of an arbitrary concept. The two-tone color scheme wasn’t intentional: I wanted to make the car solid pink, but had to instead make use with available pieces in the pink/purple color family.

These little custom magnetic bricks pack quite a punch!
I found the smallest and heaviest thing in my garage to test the strength of the 2x4 brick magnet. The winner is a 1 pound cold steel hex chisel.
The magnet had absolutely no problem attaching to the chisel and could probably hold up to 2 lbs easily. The magnetic pull was so strong that I had to take pictures of them individually becuase when I tried to take a picture of them all together they either repelled or attached each other making a clump of magnetic bricks.
THE PROS:
1. Its small
2. its a Lego brick
3. looks cool on the fridge
4. It's crazy strong and will hold almost anything to your fridge without breaking a sweat
THE CONS:
1. the list of things these magnets can damage is fairly long. (electronic devises, cards with magnet strips, etc.)
2. can effect the the operation of pacemakers or similar medical devises.
3. If you randomly decided to bake your brick in the oven above 175 degrees the magnet will loose it's magnetic properties
Do the pros outweigh the cons? I'd love to hear what you think.
[edit] I did some additional research and it sounds like magnets in general do all the damage listed above and the warning sheet I got is kind of like the "The state of California has determined that this product will give you cancer" that you see on almost everything. I also read that even a cell phone battery can screw up your pacemaker.
Made of plastic and uber-fantastic.
The Pirate Captain, the Cyclops, Zombie, Smug Pink Bunny, Lobotobunny and Dead Bunny are all backed with ceramic magnets to hold that reminder to buy more carrots to any magnetic surface.
Jennifer C. Contacted me and asked if she could use my photos to make magnets for her online business. I gave her free access to all my Flickr photos. She sent me this magnet of Link, today. Visit her page: stores.ebay.com/MsJokersToybox?_dmd=2&_nkw=dachshund

Sorting out my study today.
I've got about 150 of these. I picked this at random. The artwork inside these things is incredible.
I think it was probably these books that started me off on a lifelong reading habit.
I actually had this book as a kid - not this particular copy, I picked this up at a car boot sale.
They really are informative, artistic, sharply written, incredibly stylish and charming.
I don't think there is any real equivalent nowadays.
While doing housecleaning I found a magnet I thought was long gone. Sometimes it's good to clean house!
Each magnet is an original pencil illustration and painted with acrylic paint. Non-toxic coating gives a nice shiny raised surface. A large strong magnet is fixed onto the back with industrial glue.
Original little works of art that are fun AND functional. Durable and unique. Perfect for gift giving or for keeps!
Each magnet measures 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) across.

Created for a gelli print magnet swap. All papers used were gelli prints. The hearts were embellished with various fibers, glitter, and glass microbeads.
On the backside was a gelli print of a brick wall with the poem:
When you for for a walk, take seeds with you, poppies, rainbow chard, rocket. Plant them among the weeds in patches of wasteland. See what happens. (Tom Hodgkinson "How to be Free")

I always wanted one of these and now I finally have one to display a bunch of pretty ATC's/ACEO's and fun magnets I recieved in swaps and from friends :)

Magnets and sayings/quotes on the door of the distribution box in our hallway. Unfortunately, a slightly darker corner and not so well suited for photos.
