You love Lego don’t you? Those tiny bricks of colorful acrylonitrile butadiene styrene plastic are what keeps you going in-between George Lucas’ fits of cinematography. Then check this out, the official Lego Play and Build Remote for Nintendo Wii. Of course, only bits of the remote are suitable for Lego brick you silly silly man, otherwise it wouldn’t be compatible with standard chargers and attachments like the battery cover and Wii MotionPlus. Still, if you can imagine playing Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga using nothing but The Force and this controller then you’re already half way home to living the dream — a journey you can complete on October 16th for $39.99.

What is the Motorola MB860? It’s hard to say for sure, but it could be one of the infamous Tegra 2 tablets that Motorola’s been allegedly working on. Ameblo recently discovered that the MB860 had been certified for Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR and dual-band 802.11 a/b/g/n WiFi, and then noticed that the UPnP Forum had attached a curious codename — Olympus — to the device. This is where things get fairly fuzzy, but Android and Me recently reported that the Olympus was one of two Motorola tablets in testing — though it may not be the Stingray , as that supposed 10-inch device has an alphanumeric designation of its own: MZ600. For those of you inspired to go sluthing on your own, we’ve got a couple final notes. First, the Bluetooth SIG has already changed its MB860 filing to read BT0001, according to Google’s cache. Second, though the WiFi interoperability certificate above reads “smartphone,” that’s not necessarily true — according to the Wi-Fi Alliance , Samsung’s Galaxy Tab is a “phone” as well.

If you’re going to make the jump to 3D then don’t pussyfoot around. Not when you can go all in with the world’s largest commercial 3D LED backlit television from LG. The 72LEX9 stretches that 400Hz TruMotion panel to a full 72 inches while bunging NetCast online media streaming, Spot Control pixel dimming, DLNA, and Wireless AV Link into the mix. Look for it to be released in Q2 of 2011… at which time LG will probably release its 84-incher just to spite you. TV sans human after the break.
