1. Book of Sith:
Secrets from the Dark Side [Vault Edition] [Hardcover]
Price - $99.99 (Amazon.com)
Having gotten a similar product like “The Jedi Path” , I
can’t pass up the opportunity to bring balance to my bookshelf. Much like “The Jedi Path”, “Book of Sith”
comes in a special container-case that harbors the book along with a number of
removable Sith “artifacts” (7, actually).
Once opened, the motorized case operates with authentic lights and Star
Wars sounds to reveal the book to you. With hidden secrets and madness of the
Sith Order hidden inside, “Know thy enemy” has never been more dangerous or
fun!
2. Galactus
Maquette
Price - $799.99 (Sideshowtoy.com)
Standing under just 3 feet tall (33 inches), this amazing
feat can wow even the most cynical person (even if they aren’t indoctrinated in
the menace that is The World-Eater). You
can even complete this scale awesomeness by attaching a herald (Nova or Silver
Surfer). Now the whole world (or at
least your household) will tremble before the might of Galactus!
3. Star Trek Electronic Door Chime
Price - $29.99 (ThinkGeek.com)
Ok, how about one that *doesn’t* make your wallet cry, but
is still awesome? I present to you: The Star Trek (TOS) Electronic Door
Chime! Operating on still-viable 20th
technology, you can now hear the authentic *Swoosh* sound you remember from
watching The Original Series in your childhood (Or reruns. Or Netflix.)
It also has the “Red Alert” sound and the “Communicator Whistle” sound. One step closer to actually living on the
Federation’s flagship vessel!
4. Star Theater
Pro Home Planetarium
Price - $169.99 (ThinkGeek.com)
Who wouldn’t want the stars at their command? Set this baby up and enjoy the soothing
motion of the stars (which you can set to rotate at 1 revolution per 10 minute
period) and drift off to sleep (and you can set the auto shut-off nap timer for
15, 30, or 60 minutes) to dream about the possibilities that lay just beyond
our galactic borders.
5. The IT Crowd
(Seasons 1-4)
Price - $24.98 each (Amazon.com)
I love the IT Crowd (I’ve described it to my friends as
“British ‘Big Bang Theory’”). The
writing was always wonderful and the series as a whole has too many quotable
moments to count. I listed the seasons
as being separate because there’s no reliable place to buy a “Complete series”
box set that will work in the US, but you can buy each season individually with
no issue. This show hits on points that
the geekiest of us can enjoy! (I personally loved scanning the set every
episode for new desk toys, books and posters which were usually donated by fans
of the show).
