Win an Awesome LEGO Aliens Power Loader from Ichiban Toys!

Posted on by

While I’d personally love to have a full-size Aliens Power Loader exoskeleton suit, I don’t think I have enough room to store it in my garage. This little LEGO model is the next best thing, and you can win one, thanks to our friends at Ichiban Toys, and our new website, MightyMega.

This 146 piece LEGO model is based on the Caterpillar P-5000 Powered Work Loader, and features posable arms and claws, along with many other details which help make it an accurate representation of the one seen piloted by Ripley in Aliens. While all of the components are official LEGO parts, many of them are rare and difficult to find. The completed model measures about 4.5 inches-tall, and will look great sitting on your shelf alongside an Alien Queen action figure. It even comes with the little Ripley action figure shown in the image.

You can find more pictures of the Aliens Power Loader model over on MightyMega, and you can enter the contest below:

Contest ends 5/19/2013 at 11:59 PM CDT. Approximate Retail Value of prize is $59.99(USD)

Many thanks to Ichiban Toys for the awesome prize. Be sure to check out their site for all sorts of other cool custom LEGO models.

2013 ‘Doodle 4 Google’ top 50 winners selected, require your judgment

2013 Doodle 4 Google winners selected, require your judgment

There's little in life finer than pitting youths against each other in battle, which Google's annual "Doodle 4 Google" contest clearly appreciates. The competition takes thousands of Google logo doodle entries and pits them down from thousands to 50, one per US State, and organizes those entries by grade level. The images are then put online for the world to enjoy, as well as to vote on -- out of the five doodles with the highest votes, one national winner is selected, which Google plans on revealing on May 22nd in New York City. This year's theme is "Best Day Ever," which means outdoor activities to one Maine-based middle schooler (seen above), and hanging out with bees to a Michigan-based high school student. Of course, there are 48 other excellent pieces to peek at before casting your vote, though you've gotta get in there before May 10th at 11:59pm ET.

The Engadget Show won two Webbys, now you can win a Nexus 7!

We'd like to thank the Academy and all the little people who helped along the way -- but mostly we'd like to thank you, our viewers, for helping The Engadget Show win not one, but two Webby Awards this year. That's right, our plucky little show managed to pick up two of the coveted coils, and we're frankly overjoyed. We're so pumped, in fact, that we don't want the winning to end. As our way of thanking you for the support you've given the show in the past year, we're giving away a shiny new 32GB HSPA+ Nexus 7 to two lucky winners (one for each Webby, naturally), which you can use to watch the latest episode! And once you're done with that, there's an included $25 Google Play gift card to find more stuff to watch (there are plenty more free episodes for you, once that runs out).

Note: Please enter using the widget below, as comments are no longer valid methods of entry.

Redact offers £10,000 if you crack its messaging app, bets UK government you can’t

Redact offers 10,000 if you crack its messaging app, bets UK government you can't

Software developers looking to kickstart (or simply brag about) their security have a common trick up their sleeve: give away prizes to successful crackers. Redact is trying just such a strategy with its Secure Messenger app for iOS. It's offering £10,000 ($15,482) to anyone who can visit London and successfully intercept an encrypted message delivered through the company's peer-based, PIN-to-PIN communication system. Entrants have until June 1st to prove that they're worthy of making an attempt. Redact has more reason to hope we lose beyond its pride and a big fat check, however -- it wants approval for handling the UK government's secure data, and it wouldn't hurt to have proof that the app design is airtight. If you're convinced that it's all just bluster, you can challenge the company yourself at the source link.

Posted on by

How’d you like the chance to take a mission to space – and not have to spend a dime? Well if you’re the lucky winner of a contest being held by KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, you might just get your wish.

sxc lynx space mission

KLM is offering one lucky person the chance to fly aboard the zero-gravity SXC Lynx spacecraft. The entry process will be simple. KLM plans on launching a weather balloon in the Nevada desert, and the person who provides the most accurate prediction of how high the balloon travels before it pops will win the space flight.

The winner of the contest will receive a flight for two to Curacao, hotel, and a single ticket aboard the SXC Lynx, valued at approximately $95,000(USD).

The balloon is expected to be launched on the morning of April 22nd. To enter the contest, and to view and a cool simulation of the balloon launch, head on over to space.klm.com.

When in service, the SXC Lynx is expected to fly to a height of 64 miles above the Earth, traveling with 4Gs of thrust. Space Expedition Corporation (SXC) plans on launching its first commercial space trip from Curacao in January 2014. It’s not clear exactly when the prize winner will be allowed to redeem their ticket.
