What will they think of next? Maybe a Lightsaber-themed sex toy? Eh, its most likely already been done. Not only can a Lightsaber protect you from the Alliance and change your TV station, but it can also apparently protect your hair from liquid droplets of destruction, or as you might like to call it…rain. This Japanese-made limited-edition Darth Vader Lightsaber umbrella comes with impressive telescopic action power and a red nylon sleeve.

For its price of $90, you would expect some flashing lights or Star Wars sound effects to make the replica complete, but depressingly, special effects are not included. Though, it is the onlly umbrella on the market that will protect you from rain AND imperial stormtroopers. There’s only 4 left in stock over at Amazon, so if I were you, which i very well might be, I’d go pick one up. — Andrew Dobrow

Looking forward to Valentine’s day, Sony has announced its limited edition Dooney & Bourke leather-bound PRS-500U2DB portable reader. This eBook has all of the same specs as the normal Sony Reader, except for its textured leather cover and exorbitant price.

The eBook will also be shipped in a special edition red box packaging, adding those little touches to make your loved ones bow down to you with thankfulness. There are thousands of books available to download through Sony, so no matter what reading level or genre fan your signifigant other has, they’ll be able to find material that interests them.

With its paper like display, you’ll find it pleasing to the eye and not overbearing or blurry like other eBooks on the market. And for a price of $500, you shouldn’t expect any less. Even more cool is that now you can read PDF and .doc files as well as uploaded blogs, view pictures, and listen to MP3s on your eBook for those long waits in line or at the airport. You can only buy them from Sony up until Febuary 9th, so get it early or you’ll be hunting eBay. — Andrew Dobrow
