Continuing in the Blade Runner theme of our most recent Boing Boing tv episode, today BB Gadgets editor Joel Johnson speaks with artist and futurist Syd Mead about this rare treasure — the only one in the world! — spotted during a BBtv shoot in Mead’s home and studio.
A one-of-a-kind official LEGO version of Mead’s “Spinner” flying car from Blade Runner, presented to Syd by LEGO when he attended a design summit in Billund. Syd let me pick it up and swoop it around my head like a child.

LEGO and Blade Runner, two great tastes that taste great together. More iPhone snapshots from the shoot here.
