Star Wars fan and tangled wire advocate Brian De Vitis managed to have one of the greatest brainstorm ideas ever. Why not take every console I own (all eight of them) and stuff them all into that R2-D2 replica I’ve had sitting around the house.
Well, EVERYONE has the supplies needed for this project. No excuses. Grab your droid and get going. Well? Go on!
You call that cold lump of coal in your chest a heart? Sounds to me like you can use a little cardiac boost. This Arc Reactor film replica fits right into your shrapnel-damaged chest.
The replica comes emblazoned with the words “Proof That Tony Stark Has A Heart.” No, no it really isn’t. You want proof, feel for a pulse. The reactor only proves he’s part mad scientist.
Forget Mike, I wanna be like Spock. And this Star Trek Tricorder replica gives me that extra step towards my goal. Now all I need are a pair of those pointy ears.
Does are Earth really contain intelligent lifeforms? I’ll let you know once ThinkGeek gets this shipped out to me.
Has the new Star Trek movie got you all excited as of late? Support the economy by dropping a whopping $2200 on this replica Captain Kirk chair, complete with buttons on the armrest. True to the original, this captain’s throne is meant for only the true Trekkie who can really appreciate the finer details in life. Just don’t expect to be sexing it up in this thing anytime soon.
I don’t know what to say.
What do you think I should say? Look at this fucking gun. It’s a life-size 1:1 replica of the Portal gun. Like dead on to every detail. It even glows blue. What the fuck is up with that? Some chick made it for cosplay. Yeah, cosplay. Such a waste…
At least it blows previously made gunnery out of the water. (more…)
Guitar collectors take note: you do not want to pass this opportunity up. Gibson will be creating a limited run of 500 replicas of the 1959 Les Paul Standard. We’re talking identical wiring, identical hardware, identical tuning pegs, identical bridge – everything. This is as real as it gets. At $8,500, it’s relatively expensive but will appreciate in value over the years to come.
Building a car from a kit is nothing new. Open any modern auto magazine and you’ll find plenty of that crap in the classifieds. But when one man goes above and beyond to turn a 2001 Mercury Cougar into a fully-functional, stylish Audi R8, well, that’s magic.
While there’s just some things that can’t be copied, overall this car looks just like a damn R8. Since the actual Audi R8 is a $100,000+ car, most people won’t have one and thus won’t be able to tell the difference between this Cougar and the real thing. There’s no Audi power behind it but hey, it’ll still get you laid. Creator Alberto Gavach from Spain is no dummy. He claims he spent about $50,000 building it. Not too shabby. After the jump, a photo with the real R8 next to the fake one.

I thought I was a Dark Knight fan. I have the fly joker kicks, the sweet action figures to play with and I even have bat wings tattooed in place of my eyebrows so people know I’m a real fan. But no, that wasn’t good enough. Some other fan boy had to out shine me and now, the tattoos bring nothing but ridicule.
Thanks a lot Bob Dullam. You just had to go and build the Batman Tumbler all by yourself, showing everyone that your fanboyism can’t be outdone. Just you wait, Dullam. Next year, when Watchmen comes out, I’m going to build the most eye-popping Watchmen vehicle ever. Wait, what does the Night Owl drive?
This new LEGO Star Wars toy is the Castle Grayskull of all LEGOs. Fuck Fort Legorado, this LEGO Death Star is twice as much money ($400) and twice as cool. It comes with 25 Star Wars characters LEGO-style, including the “TK-421! Why aren’t you at your post?” Stormtrooper clad Han and Luke. It even has the trash compactor monster that nearly killed Luke in Episode IV.
You won’t find a better way to relive your childhood by reenacting the final duel between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader in the Emperor’s throne room. Oh and remember to always let the Wookiee win.
Christopher Reeves only had two enemies whom attacked his vulnerabilities the worst: Horses and Kryptonite, both for different reasons. Kryptonite was among the only materials known to man which could bring the mighty Superman to his knees (other than Lois Lane, of course.)
Rumor has it that Superman used Kryptonite as an excuse for his super limp noodle. “Are these sheets made of Kryptonite? Because, uh, you know, it sometimes has that effect.”
Designed in special protective casing, the Red, Gold, Blue and Green Kryptonite meteorites are all on display with this replica. Measuring 7.25″ x 10.75″ x 9.5″, the Kryptonite Replica Display is pure poison for anyone from the planet Krypton, but should be fine for us earthlings. Get your own for $275.
