The Weekly Links: Back To The Future LEGO Part 2, NES Box Art Using Modern TV Shows, Pacapong Video Game Mashup

Welcome to another edition of The Weekly Links, your weekly source for the best '80s content on the web! I wanted to let everyone know that I'm going to be making some changes to the RD80s template in the near future.

I'm actually going to categorize the website using the topics I do each week in The Weekly Links like TV, Movies, Music, etc. and I'm also going to integrate Rad Retro Stuff back into the main RD80s website and shut down the separate site. I wish I had more time to develop it, but I feel this is the best way to maximize RD80s and all the stuff I want to share! Hope you'll enjoy the new look.

I've had LEGO on the brain all week beginning with my new hobby. And after the Golden Girls LEGO set broke the internet earlier this week, I decided to seek out more '80s-themed sets worthy of our support.

My favorite video this week could potentially be something that becomes a reality. Check out this fan-made movie trailer of "X-Wings" ships from Star wars in the Disney/Pixar format!
