Recently got these stunning liftarms! Lacquered and chrome parts are always weird because determining authenticity is very difficult, here is where they came from according to the seller:
"[the supplier] said that they were involved with LEGO [Mindstorms] in Denmark for a few years. They did special beams officially for a contest and/or media stunt. These are the extras."
"LEGO was invited to be a founding partner of the Google Science Fair (GSF), an international competition for students to present innovative ideas and win big awards.
Marketing manager Steven Canvin, in charge of the LEGO MINDSTORMS robotics platform, was the point of contact for the GSF, and was tasked with putting a prize package together for the future winners.
All winners would receive a LEGO MINDSTORMS robotics kit, and to make the prizes more exclusive, a limited amount of gold TECHNIC beams were produced, to go with each kit."
This story is pretty detailed, even naming the marketing manager. After some digging, the only thing online I was able to find was some vague details about the prizes:
"The finalist winners (Kohn and Iván Hervías Rodríguez, Marcos Ochoa and Sergio Pascual in the 15 to 16 age group) all receive a $25,000 scholarship, a Google Chromebook kit donated to their classroom, an assortment of Lego-related gifts, a Google goodie bag, a “prize experience,” and one year of digital access to Scientific American archives for their schools. Wenger, the grand-prize winner, gets a 10-day trip to the Galápagos Archipelago, a $50,000 scholarship, a set of Lego Mindstorms signed by the design team and Lego’s CEO and owner, first pick of prize experiences, and everything else that the finalists receive."

The excerpt above is referring to GSF 2012, but similar lines can be found for GSF 2011 and 2013.
Considering the scope of the fair and the other awards being scholarships and opportunities, these parts are the probably the least interesting thing to the finalists, so if they were actually given out, verifying that would be very difficult. I have tried to contact Mr. Canvin, but have been unsuccessful.
Ultimately, I think the authenticity of these parts is likely, the story lines up pretty well, if anyone wants to continue investigating this topic, that would be awesome! And these parts are still available on bricklink if anyone wants to pick some up, the price is a little high, I was able to work out a discount from the seller and maybe you can too :^) The seller did have some other non-production parts, like a Magenta 44728 and some trans-clear slopes, which I think adds some credibility imo.
I do find lacquered liftarms to be a strange idea, they would probably get worn out really fast if you were to actually use them in a build!
[I am not sure if a 1x9 liftarm was also made]
For my coming Jabba's palace I've built some technical device. I've made an instruction to see how I used some SNOT-techniques.

Finally held an A/B test on my 100 wpc class amplifiers, I can't say this is 100% A/B test since I can't switch speakers and amps while playing the same music, so there were minutes to reconnect to another set up before listen to the same music. I started with three kinds of music (Cover version of "I left my heart in San Francisco", Take Five from The Dave Brubeck Quartet, and Koji Tamaki's "Wine Red no Kokoro"), but end up I only listen to one for a fast comparison.
The first amp is the 2012 Sony STRDH130 receiver bought way before I get back to vintage audio equipment, the second is the 80's Technics SU-V8 and the 70's Mcintosh combo C26+MC2105.
Tested with 2 pairs of speakers, JBL 2600 ( 45 Hz to 23 kHz, 89dB-sensitivity ) and then the SL6si ( 45 Hz to 20 kHz, 84dB-sensitivity ) with same 14 gauge speaker wires, played AIFF music file via computer. Positions of all equipment and my listening spot remain the same during the tests.
The final used music is "Koji Tamaki's Wine Red no Kokoro 玉置浩二 ワインレッドの心 (2002)" track no.2 same as CD title (Wine Red's Heart), acoustic-style music with male vocal, acoustic & electric guitars, percussions, and keyboard. I chose this song for final audition because the vocal and background music could sound a big different when played in different speakers.
...dialed in, works great! I just replaced the stylus here. It's ready to present to my daughter on her 17th birthday.
Yes, temporarily suspended on coffee cups to allow the amp to remain ventilated. :-P

With its wild wings, futuristic curves, and total lack of practicality, the Ferrari Dino 206 Competizione was the quintessential concept car. A radically designed prototype, the Competizione combined typical Ferrari values of charm, charisma, and technically advanced engineering prowess.
The Dino name in the Competizione's title is in reference to Enzo Ferrari's son, Dino. When Ferrari first developed a V6 engine for the 1957 Formula 2 series, he named it Dino. After that, the name of Enzo's son was used to designate six-cylinder and lower-cost Ferraris. The 206 nomenclature used on Ferrari's 1967 prototype indicates that it was built on a 206 S chassis. The 206 S was a capable racing car, with a body that resembled that of the V12-powered 330 P3. Using 206 S chassis #10523 to underpin the Competizione gave the car racer roots that were rarely seen on concept cars. The Dino 206 Competizione distinguished itself as a concept that was not just functional, but built on a thoroughly race-proven chassis.
That proven chassis was endowed with four wheel disc brakes, front and rear independent suspension, and an advanced steel space frame design that gave high strength in a lightweight package. The total weight of the 206 Competizione was just 1,400lbs, making even its small engine more than enough to create an unquestionably fast car.
The Dino V6 used in the Competizione displaced just 2.0-liters, but was able to generate 218bhp. Peak power was reached at redline, which was 9,000rpm. The lower rotational inertial of the small V6 gave an even higher redline than the V12 mounted in the 330 P series. The V6 was constructed of aluminum and mounted amidships within the space frame of the prototype, as it was in the standard 206 S. A 5-speed transaxle directed the engine's power to the rear wheels.
Despite its racing car foundation, the Dino 206 Competizione was not created to compete. As a dedicated concept car, it was created to showcase excellent design and possible styling cues for Ferrari's future. The Competizione had an advanced appearance that flaunted the talents of a young designer named Paolo Martin. Only 23 when he designed the car, the Competizione came very early in Martin's career. He later would admit he felt 'a very strong emotion' as he watched his project unfold into a true supercar.
Paolo Martin was working under Pininfarina when he developed the Competizione's styling, so the car wears Pininfarina 'f' badges. Pininfarina was also responsible for the construction of the prototype's body. Martin's shape was free of hard edges, with abundant curves and a large glass area with a circular cross-section. Viewed from some angles, the odd shape of the car's glass lends the greenhouse a bubble-like appearance. This is particularly evident from the front, where the vast windshield sweeps up and to the sides like a bulbous take on a jetfighter's canopy.
The Competizione had exaggerated mid-engined proportions, with a short, low nose and a long, high tail. The front lighting fit the shape perfectly, with transparent, aerodynamic coverings over clusters of three lights. The light clusters were angled down towards the center of the car's nose. The lighting's covers blended seamlessly with the unusually round curve at the front of the car, and combined with front vents ahead of the large windshield to create a design that looked organic, but not earthly. From the front, the design had a cartoonish look that was exotic and alien, as if the Competizione was designed on a different planet to resemble some distant species.
Distinctive spoilers added to the effect. Though the strange spoilers didn't seem out of place on the car, they almost looked as if they were tacked on as an afterthought. This was not surprising, as Paolo Martin himself admitted that the spoilers 'were added only at the last minute, since the Management thought the design had to be enriched.' The spoilers used black wings attached to the body by metal arms that looked too much like pieces from an Erector Set to match the rest of the design.
All of the vents and air intakes found on the Dino 206 Competizione—and there were plenty—blended gracefully with the smooth curves on which they were placed. They looked like gills, and they enhanced the car's alien image. A single windshield wiper protruded like a tentacle reaching towards the windshield. Gullwing doors with a huge glass area contributed to the otherworldly effect, as did the jarring, bright yellow paint that covered the prototype's aluminum skin.
James Glickenhaus, a wealthy car collector with a special interest in Ferraris, recently became the first private owner of the Dino 206 Competizione. The car had been kept in Pininfarina's museum for over thirty years until a purchase was agreed upon in 2007 and Glickenhaus bought the stunning vehicle. Since Glickenhaus purchased the car, it has been shown with success and driven regularly.

I've made some changes since that version, but functionally it'd be about right.
I usually don't post WIPs, I prefer to keep things under wraps until I'm completely done.

Our first steampunk airship,
in this video, the power functions are visible.
I'd love to hear some feedback--steampunk is not our usual style, but my son and I loved doing some research into it.
Hero of Fire is very brave - some Matoran say he doesn't know what fear means. Well ... technically he is like any other Heros (Toas), but he try not showing his emotions. But deep in his heart he's a great friend and if anyone need help - he does it.
Legend tells that only great Hero of Fire could lead the team of Heros to protect the people from dark powers ...

This MOC is a part of my version of Bionicle 2015 Universe. Parts came directly from Lego (50 kg of Legos, ahh!). Many thanks to 3dom from Lugpol community with initiate this project - thank you!
Ah this would be Ilonna and her new makeover for Technical 2. She looks loads of different...somewhat asian now. It looks nice against her skin, can't wait to actually style it and do some crazy things with it. ;)
So the pose looks a bit wonky...I was trying to do something different with the angle of her legs--they're suppose to be going behind her.
Dress was nasty to draw...if you all size it you know what I mean. I forgot to add nails to the hand that I drew(well I drew both, it's pretty interesting drawing my own hands onto hers...haha). I wish I could have worked on this more, but this week was chaotic. Schools over so there's so much more free time, but hopefully I get a job at the mall. :\
