Wooden Catapult and Trebuchet Kits

Wooden Catapult and Trebuchet Kits In the days before gunpowder (at least in the west), folks had to find new and intriguing ways to throw death and destruction at each other. They started by throwing rocks, then progressed to hurling giant stones, and then to flinging boulders. The evolution of the machines used to accomplish this hurling is as intriguing as the things hurled. Many times trash and debris were lobbed over castle walls to rain down upon unsuspecting masses or invading armies. These kits let you bring back all the fun of flinging. Each one can assemble in just a few hours, and provides a fantastic scale model of an actual war weapon of yore. The catapult is perfect for chucking balls of paper and other small objects over cubicle walls. The trebuchet is better for long range targets (like the water cooler or networked printer). And, all you need to put them together are some strong fingers (or pliers), a cutting tool, and glue (not included). Both kits are perfect for showing your love of retro weaponry. Please Note: Though these kits are for educational purposes, they are functional. Care should be taken when constructing and using them. Don't use anything living as a target or projectile. Because kits must be glued together, opened kits are non-returnable.

Gears of War 3: C.O.G Snub Pistol Precision Prop Replica

Gears of War 3: C.O.G Snub Pistol Precision Prop Replica There's blood in your mouth. The flecks of metallic splatter escape the convulsing skull of a Locust brute as you power the gnashing spin of rusted blades through his howling face. Does its blood taste like your chainsaw or is that the taste of the brute's crude chrome finish? The toughest part is at the base of the neck. It's surprising your saw doesn't give up half way through. It takes a moment to re-grip and drive down, and in that moment, the renewed sound of howling Locusts floods your ears. You shove the butt of the gun just under the crook of your right arm and reach for your Snub Pistol. There she is. A quick kiss on her barrel and it's over the shoulder, the corner of your eye running the length of her pristine body. You'd take a moment and marvel at her, but she's got work to do, and it'd be rude to think she's got the time. Breathing down the digitized neck of Marcus Fenix is the closest you'll ever get to feeling the shredding torque of blood-stained steel clawing its way through Locust flesh. But, the desire for proximity has finally been addressed: the Gears of War 3 C.O.G. Snub Full Scale Replica. A masterfully crafted, polystone-cast, precision replica of the standard-issue, semi-automatic sidearm, this piece comes straight from the hands of Delta Team. Easily the most intricately detailed replica on the market, there's nothing remotely close to the feeling of gripping 10 lbs of elegant destruction. Product Specifications •Gears of War 3 - C.O.G. Snub Full Scale Replica •Are you tough enough to handle one? •Officially licensed Gears of War 3 replica weapon •Made of hand-painted, hand-finished, hand-cast polystone •Feels like cold, hard steel in your hand •Dimensions: 13" long •Weight: 10 lbs

Link on Epona Statue

Link on Epona Statue "Oh, yeah, I have to introduce you to my friend, fairy boy! She's this horse. Her name is Epona. Isn't she cute?" — Malon We have to admit that there was a small scuffle regarding which ThinkGeek employee got to keep this product sample. By small scuffle, we mean only a couple people got black eyes and broken ribs. Thankfully, our hologram doctor was able to make everyone better. In the end, Willie won, because he is a ninja with a biker beard and a mean left hook. This statue is worth punching someone over. It is that awesome. Size: The first thing you'll notice is that this item comes in a box that requires two hands to carry. The statue is a whopping 17 inches tall and weighs over 16 pounds. You will need to clear off a significant amount of space in your display cabinet and maybe even move some shelves around in order to accommodate its massive awesomeness. Craftsmanship: Link and Epona are cast in high quality polystone and are hand-finished. You're going to want to run your fingers over all the tiny details, from the tip of Link's pointed cap to the grass under Epona's feet. Details: Each piece is hand-painted, which makes this no mere "figure." This is a work of art and will command attention wherever you put it in your home or office. Every little detail is here, from Epona's decorative barding to the look of lost innocence in Link's eyes. Epona's coat even seems to glisten as if she's headed from one battle right into the next. Collecting toys is fun, but every once in a while, a piece of art like this comes along that blows them all away. Serious fans of the Legend of Zelda will treasure this piece for years to come. If you want it, grab those rupees now, because there are only 2500 pieces worldwide and ThinkGeek only has a small number of them. Product Specifications •The ultimate gift for any Legend of Zelda fan •Link on Epona statue, from the Master Arts line of Twilight Princess Centerpieces •Epona rears back on her hind legs, ready to charge into battle •Cast in high quality polystone, individually painted and finished to exacting standards •Comes in deluxe, full-color packaging, with hand numbered base, and includes an Authenticity Card •Limited Edition: Only 2500 pieces worldwide (and ThinkGeek only has a small number of those) •Dimensions: 17" tall x 16" long •Weight: Over 16 pounds (this is one hefty piece!)

City Lights Globe

City Lights Globe We are so jealous of astronauts. Listening to NASA folks describing what it's like to be up in space, experiencing zero gravity, eating astronaut ice cream, and seeing our planet from way on high... oh, we're green with envy. And looking at the City Lights Globe makes us wonder how the view of the Earth at night must change as we meatsacks develop more and more of it. The City Lights Globe illuminates the cities of the world as they're seen from orbit. As it automatically rotates, the lights glow in the areas where night has fallen. Just place your City Lights Globe on its shiny mirrored base and it will do the rest. Just a warning, though, we put one on our desk and zoned out for at least an hour, daydreaming about being astronauts. Product Specifications •See the Earth's lights as they look from orbit at night •When lights are off you can see the night time globe>p> •Automatically rotates using a special patented induction system •Illuminates the cities where night has fallen as the world turns •It takes about 30 seconds to do a full rotation •Looks great on your desk or at home •Globe Dimensions: 10" diameter •Mirrored Base Dimensions: 5.5" diameter, 0.75" tall
