Tesla has officially pushed back the public debut of its next-generation Roadster to August or later this year. The engineers are still ironing out the bugs in the cold gas thruster kit that they are creating with SpaceX.

LEGO has unveiled its largest building set, Architecture Sagrada Família. Set 21065 contains 12,060 pieces for a model that is more than two feet tall when completed. Standing over 24 inches tall, 18.5 inches wide, and 15 inches deep, the finished piece stands out on any shelf or table. Its scale is around 1:280 of the actual basilica in Barcelona.
