Home Sentry Bot

By admin | Sep 30, 2008

I guess the title suggests this is about some sort of Terminator or Cylon guarding your house I have to disappoint you. This sentry robot doesn’t have a titanium frame, enough firepower to reduce a person to hamburger meat or a cool sweeping red light. You can, however, control it from any device that’s connected [...]

Life Size Terminator

By admin | Sep 18, 2008

Got some spare cash lying around ($19,999 to be exact)? Then this may be something for you: a life size T800 endoskeleton! It comes complete with realistic LED lighting and it’s made of chrome and fiberglass. If I had a choice, though, I’d prefer a life size version of Summer Glau. For the uninitiated, she [...]

R2D2 Fridge

Yet another R2D2-shaped gadget? Yep, but don’t expect to find this one at your local store. It’s a refridgerator, and only 1000 of them have been made. They were offered as prizes in Japan six years ago. Toy East has one for sale at the moment, but it will cost you $1070.
The picture is a [...]

R2D2 Peppermill

By admin | Feb 10, 2008

The newest weird Star Wars gadget from Japan (where else?): the R2-D2 peppermill! Fill hil body with peppercorns, twist his head, and voila, fresh ground pepper!

Lego Mindstorms NXT

By admin | Aug 28, 2007

Whenever I see an advertisement for Lego these days, it makes me wish I was born some twenty years later. When I was a kid, the most high tech kits available from Lego were the pneumatic sets. While those sets were cool, they are nothing compared to the stuff that’s available today, and the most [...]

R2D2 Trashcan

By admin | Aug 24, 2007

Where does a true Star Wars fan dispose his garbage? A trash compactor like the one on the first Death Star would be sweet, of course, especially if it comes with one of those beasts that almost killed Luke Skywalker, but since most people don’t have enough space for such a machine (not to mention [...]
