FX’s Alien: Earth is set three decades before Ridley Scott’s original film. And as the title implies, this means the xenomorphs have gotten closer to Earth than anyone previously realized.

It’s debatable which Batmobile is the best–the one from Batman Forever is the undisputed king, according to Bat-science–but building any of the Caped Crusader’s crimefighting vehicles in Lego is undeniably a great way to spend an afternoon. For fans of the Dark Knight Trilogy, Amazon has discounted the Batmobile seen in the Christopher Nolan movies, as you can get this hunk of justice-dispensing plastic for just $213.
