The most valuable LEGO Minifigure

I'll place a betthat you know about the gold reproduction of the bounty hunter Boba Fett. Youjust must have heard about this one. If you haven't, well at least you shouldknow that the bounty hunter is from the original Star Wars trilogy.

Would youbelieve that the two 14-carat gold Minifigures were worth $11,495.95 a pieceand were given away in 2010 as prizes at two different events? It is justamazing, isn't it? The first event was the San Diego Comic-Con competition andthe other was the Celebration V Star Wars festival.

Since 2010 tilldate, no Minifigure has been made that cost that much or that is that valuable.However, some Minifigures we're sent to space in the NASA Juno mission to outerspace (Jupiter precisely) in 2011. That was another record – the farthestdistance any Minifigure has traveled – If those Minifigures were to return(which won't happen anyway), they'd be the most valuable, costing severalmillion.

In thecelebration of an upcoming ceremony of the 50th anniversary QueenslandCaravanning and camping show in 2018, John Cochrane Advertising wanted somethingreally amazing and large so he came up with the idea to build the caravanmodeled after a 1973 Viscount Royale.

The first functional LEGO prosthetic arm

You didn't thinkLEGO could be blended successfully with technology? Why LEGO is technology.David Aguilar, also popularly known as "Solo Hand" discovered thisearly in his life. He started to build his own LEGO arms at the age of just 9.It is important to note that David was born with only one arm(the left one) andthat didn't stop him from being creative.

He finallydesigned and built a fully functioning prosthetic arm for himself using bricksfrom the LEGO Technic helicopter set which has 9,386 bricks. He completed thefirst one in 2017 and named it Mark 1(MK-I).

The prosthesisarm was fully mechanical and had a moveable elbow joint which he could bend topick things up with the grabber that represents the fingers. He has since beenmaking other advanced versions of the prosthesis arm. He has made Mark-II,Mark-III, and Mark-IV.

Aguilar followedhis passion for constructing toys and decided to advance to the UniversitatInternacional de Catalunya in Spain to study bioengineering. He dreams ofproviding affordable prosthesis for people who probably were born like him orlost a limb.
