Join Lego USB Hub
Did you ever have gadget déjà vu? That’s when you see a gadget that you are certain that you saw before. This happened to me this morning when I saw the Lego USB Hub.
The moment that I saw this item, I wanted to report on it, but I was certain that we had covered it before. Oddly enough, we never have. We have reported on many varieties of Lego USB Flash Drives, but not a Lego USB Hub.
I suppose that we at Coolest Gadgets can say that this is the first time we have seen a four-port Lego USB Hub. They are not official Lego products, but they come in Lego colors of red, blue, yellow, and black.

Dareway is a Segway for kids
Kids already have the option to own little miniature cars to ride in with batteries that run for about 20 minutes before they die. They also have electronic scooters and other various items to ride on. Well now kids can own their own kid size version of a Segway, only for them it’s called a Dareway. There is a version for both boys and girls, and it will move them around just like your average Segway. Although I imagine this one is not quite as well built.

The Duel Action Electronic Lightsaber has hidden weaponry
For those of you who haven’t grown out of your love of battling it out with your friends with toy lightsabers, you’ll like this new twist. Of course you could buy one for you kid and then buy one for yourself, claiming that you only bought it for bonding purposes. That is if you aren’t ready to come out of the closet about your child-like addictions. We all know the real reason though, you just can’t get enough of those epic battles with plastic lightsabers. This new lightsaber makes it so that you can get in an extra sneak attack.

Lego Rock Band
Man, iHarmonix has been squeezing all the life they can out of the RockBand franchise. After a recent announcement of the Beatles version, the company is now teaming with MTV, Warner Brothers Interactive, to create Lego Rock Band.
That’s right, someone wants to make version of Rock Band with Legos. All I have to say to that is: why not? I mean, Rock Band already allows you select characters to be the drummer, singer, and guitarist, so why not build them from a Lego minifig model? I have heard that players will play at “local venues, stadiums, and other fantasy locations”, but I say that players should be allowed to build their own stadiums from Lego bricks.

Smart Animals Scanopedia
I’ve noticed that a lot of educational toys are always based on animals. I suppose that kids need to learn about animals before they learn that the real world has nothing to do with them.
Okay, that was cynical. Yeah, I know there are many careers available for those who have an interest in animals, and now parents have a way to develop their children’s interest in animals with the Discovery Channel’s Smart Animal Scanopedia.
The Scanopedia comes with a handheld scanner, a laminated sheet full of animals, and a plastic animal figure. When you scan the sheet or figure, the scanner tells you a lot of pertinent information like what the animal sounds like, as well as its habitat.

Star Trek Scene It Now Available
If you’re one those types who were drooling over the Star Trek Wallpaper that we posted the other day, then you are going to want to rush out and purchase the new Scene it game with a Star Trek theme.
If you are not familiar with Scene it, it is a board game that is played with a special DVD that is sort of a Trivial Pursuit with a pure entertainment focus. I’m sure that this Star Trek edition will have clips from all five of Star Trek shows, and even some of the movies.

Takaratomy Q Steer R/C Mario Kart
Now this is how you get your kids to go outside and play. Buy them a toy that’s highly similar to their favorite video game. Granted this method isn’t advised for kids that play the more violent games. Somehow I see telling them to go outside and pretend they’re playing Grand Theft Auto in the outdoors causing some issues. However, for those that enjoy Mario Kart, you can pick up these R/C toys that would be fun to race around the house or outside on some pavement.

Tauntaun Sleeping Bag, once a joke, could be reality
On April Fools Day, I saw many tech blogs report on a Tauntaun Sleeping Bag from the ThinkGeek store. I had my doubts on whether or not it was legit, and so I didn’t report on it. I wanted to, because I always like reporting on Star Wars gadgets. We at Coolest Gadgets have reported on so many Star Wars gadgets here that it should be a category.
A lot of people apparently wanted this Tauntaun Sleeping Bag, and ThinkGeek has responded to this “tsunami of requests” by trying to bring this product to reality. They have no idea if Lucasfilm will approve of this idea, but considering all the money that could be made here, why not?
