50′ Snowball Launcher

The 50′ Snowball Launcher won’t help you relive the good ol’ days of making snowballs until your hands froze, but this piece of modern winter warfare is kick-ass. Not only it can throw snowballs up to 50 feet, but it can also shape them for you. Let the hostilities begin!

Remote Control VS Tank

The remote control VS Tank has incredible maneuverability so you will always be in control, even if you live on a mountain. There are nine speeds at your disposal which is eight more than I’ve ever had before. The turret can be rotated 330°, necessary to battle it out with other VS Tanks using Airsoft BB pellets which are accurate up to a long-distance 25 metres. If details are important to you, this tank has been precisely constructed to be on scale at exactly 1/24 of the size of it’s real life big brother.

Star Wars Ultimate Lightsaber

OK, you’ve been able to buy lightsaber toys for a few years now, however what makes this one different is you get to build your own custom lightsaber, just like a jedi does! This lightsaber set comes with lots of different parts which means there’s over a 1000 different lightsaber combinations to come up with. Including making the lighsabers of the various different Jedi and Sith themselves!

GPS Underwear

This underwear set certainly boosts the confidence of the person wearing it, in addition to the fact that it has GPS support so that your position (as long as you’re wearing it) can be established at all times just in case you get abducted or worse. I think most (suspicious) husbands will probably get this for their wives with less than altruistic reasons behind the gift.

The nylon and polyurethane pad inflates with every squeeze of the air-pump area for custom adjustable sizing, while pushing a metal disc releases the air.

That Negative scanner will make life so much easier for so many people. Think of how many prints you’ve lost over the years, but still have the negatives…

nige Says: November 7, 2008 at 9:31 am

What a fantastic idea for those women who ‘accidently’ forget to put their underwear back on after an evening of passion. They can go back and collect them the next day no matter how drunk they were at the time – LOL!

Denis Says: November 7, 2008 at 10:02 am

It’s all about make your friends regret digitally for that old weird photo!

Jen Says: November 7, 2008 at 10:08 am

GPS underwear might be an OMGWTF topic, but it’s still stupid. Whack-a-mole, on the other hand…

Jack M. Says: November 7, 2008 at 10:38 am

50′ Snowball Launcher would be a blast – literally!

Marci Says: November 7, 2008 at 10:53 am

The 50′ Snowball launcher just looks completely awesome!! I would totally buy one if I had the money.

Ryan Says: November 7, 2008 at 11:17 am

Seriously, GPS underware?

Jason Says: November 7, 2008 at 11:45 am

GPS underwear gets my vote this week. That’s hot.

Jenna Says: November 7, 2008 at 11:47 am

the Apollo 11 spacesuit! Too bad I missed it for Halloween…

Skippy Says: November 7, 2008 at 11:53 am

Definitely going to pick up one of those negative scanners. Take all those negatives and upload them to the computer!

Vadim Says: November 7, 2008 at 11:54 am

Definitely 50′ Snowball Launcher out of this list.

Donnell Says: November 7, 2008 at 12:52 pm

My vote is for the replica Apollo space suit too bad its November now.

joel Says: November 7, 2008 at 1:12 pm

my vote is for the snowball launcher. my childhood wars would have been greatly enhanced by this.

Doug Says: November 7, 2008 at 1:13 pm

Whac-A-Mole FTW.

Juergen Says: November 7, 2008 at 1:46 pm

The RC tank is cool. VERY cool. Which is why I bought one that looks exactly like the one in the picture almost 2 years ago. For added coolness, put a radio-link camera on the turret (clip to the gunners primary sight), and go tank driving through your house while slouching on your sofa watching the camera image on your TV.

Sorry, while that’s extremely cool, I like the scanner better

Jerry Says: November 7, 2008 at 2:53 pm

the 50′ snowball launcher rocks =)!

Amy Says: November 7, 2008 at 3:59 pm

I just had to say that I love the idea of the snowball launcher. I saw a snowball tosser at the store and thought that was cool but this sounds even better.

Clay Says: November 7, 2008 at 7:10 pm

Hmm…. I voted for the GPS underwear. These could be useful I suppose.

Jessica Says: November 7, 2008 at 9:45 pm

The GPS underwear, just for sheer randomness.

Helard Says: November 8, 2008 at 3:39 am

I’ll say the “Remote Control VS Tank” its my favorite to play with kids and around my house doing some virtual tank expeditions.

Amir Says: November 8, 2008 at 7:48 am

Apollo 11 Replica Spacesuit is cool

Ron Says: November 8, 2008 at 7:51 am

With all the fun of snowball wars, the snowball launcher has to be the coolest of the week.

Aloysius Says: November 8, 2008 at 11:39 am

obviously the snow ball launcher…. 50 ft is awesome distance… it culd be like a real war with frnz

Neagle Says: November 8, 2008 at 3:24 pm

There is Whac-A-Mole Game but, who can deny the satisfaction of Whacing somebody with a snow ball? So for me and my wallet it’s the snow ball gun.

Don Says: November 9, 2008 at 10:37 am

That suit filled my adolescent imagination.

Krysta Says: November 9, 2008 at 4:49 pm

Snow Ball Shooter. That sounds like a ton of fun in the winter.

Justin Says: November 9, 2008 at 7:02 pm

Jay Says: November 9, 2008 at 10:51 pm

Who needs paint balls when you can launch a huge chunk of ice at someone?

NickW Says: November 10, 2008 at 6:07 am

50′ Snowball Launcher

Max Rascon Says: November 11, 2008 at 10:40 am

I would have to go with the remote control vs tank is the best. I regularly have pellet gun fights with my friends, in full gear of course and to have this little puppy creep up to some of the during the sessions would be awesome. My pick is definitely the Remote Control VS Tank!
