R2-D2 Snow Globe

by Edwin

You know for sure that George Lucas must be scraping the bottom of the Star Wars franchise barrel with such an idea – the $9.99 R2-D2 Snow Globe, but I am also equally confident that there will be future winners down the road assuming he and his team rediscover their creative juices. This is basically a gift idea for the upcoming holiday season, where you get R2-D2 wearing a Santa hat with gifts in tow. You know what would be cool? Assuming you shake this Snow Globe to have it experience a white Christmas on the planet Hoth, R2-D2 ought to emit some beeps while lighting itself up – I am quite sure that can be done if some sort of kinetic energy mechanism is built-in, but considering the price you fork out for this officially licensed Star Wars collectible, I guess this will remain but a pipe dream. Perhaps in the next iteration?

BookBook for iPhone

by Edwin

Want to read a book? You might be able to do so by loading up an e-book on your iPhone, assuming your precious Apple smartphone is encased in the rather odd looking £49.99 BookBook for iPhone case. Yes sir, this unique addition intends to spruce up your smartphone life by merging the convenience of a wallet and a phone holder in a single offering. This genuine leather case will not only offer adequate protection for your iPhone against any knocks and scratches, it also doubles up as a wallet to stash all your savings for the future iPhone 5 purchase.

Not only that, it comes with all the bells and whistles of a wallet such as the relevant segments for credit cards, a clear window for your photo ID, as well as a space to stash notes – just in case, you know, your iPhone runs out of battery and you desperately need to jot down a particular figure. The iPhone will fit in nicely into the specially-designed pouch, and I guess you would do well to use a Bluetooth headset with this, unless you don’t mind opening and closing the BookBook often if you’re a busy person.

QWERTY Premium Leather Wallet

by Edwin

Most of us would think that the only device that has a QWERTY keyboard imprinted on it comes in the form of a smartphone, but ThinkGeek has something different this time around to tease you. We’re talking about the QWERTY Premium Leather Wallet, and you can tell by its name that “investing” $39.99 in it would make you own one of the geekiest money holding equipment in the market!

This premium leather wallet will feature embossed keyboard keys, sporting half a dozen slots for cards, a couple of folding money pockets, in addition to two hidden pockets. The red lining inside does resemble that of a typewriter ribbon for old times’ sake. There is also an “All work and no play…” quote embossed on the inside of this wallet, slowly nudging you to make purchase decisions with whatever money you have left inside to make sure you don’t end up as the dullest boy in class – or at the office.

Dalek replica might be an expensive army to assemble

by Edwin

Dr. Who fans, heads up! Ever wondered how it would feel like to have an army of Daleks at your beck and call, annihilating anyone and everyone who gets in your way? Well, they say that money is not everything, but having more than enough of it is certainly something nice to have! What happens if we told you that it is now possible to own a slew of Dalek replicas? Too bad they cannot be remote controlled in any way to do your bidding, but at least they can sit there, looking all pretty and menacing on their own that some folks might even wonder whether they will be zapped if they get too near.

The only flipside to the Dalek replica? They cost a bomb at £3,000 apiece. Surely in the current economic climate, having to cough up that kind of money for an army of Dalek replicas is out of the question, unless you’re an oil sheikh who can’t find a better way to spend your money, of course.
