Dial "R" for Retro

Retro Phone Handset

Retro Phone Handset

Geek Toys

Yeah, we know all about those bluetooth headsets for cell phones, but forget that stuff! We have here the latest development in cell phone technology and it's a big hunk of beautiful plastic. An accessory for your phone that you can really grab onto. Something with heft and that good-old-American solid construction feel - like a 1972 Cadillac.

The Retro Phone Handset is a new production replica of the Western Electric 500-series model, which was the classic phone handset for several decades. It's been slightly modified to work with the headset jack of most cell phones (or via a "hands free" adapter kit, sold elsewhere). Just plug-in and dial - or for added effect, put your cell phone in your pant's pocket - then it looks like you're talking on a phone connected to... well, who knows? Cell Phone Accesories

Easier than biking with a boombox on your shoulder

Universal Bike Mounted Gadget Holder

Back in the day, if you wanted to rule the neighborhood, you only had one option. You had to shove some C batteries in your boombox, pop in your favorite cassette, and balance that bad boy precariously on your shoulder while you cruised the neighborhood on your Huffy. That is, until that old bag on the corner called your parents and got you grounded again. Or (as our moms were wont to do) your C batteries suddenly went "missing." D'oh. But you're grown up now, and all you want is a way to safely attach your favorite gadget to your bicycle for those long rides. Sure, an armband works, but you'll kill yourself trying to see the screen. The Universal Bike Mounted Gadget Holder installs without any tools and holds just about any device (see list below). The 360 degree swivel tip allows you to position your device at any angle, landscape or portrait position. Its vibration free design makes it absolutely quake-proof, so you can view your gadget's screen clearly even if the road is bumpy. Because we know there are a few of you out there with a neuron deficiency, here are some warnings: Cycling with earphones on is a bad idea. You can't hear cars, or anything else for that matter. The Universal Bike Mounted Gadget Holder is not designed for use with extreme or aggressive bike riding. Watching a screen instead of watching the road can result in injury. Don't text and ride, okay? Oh, and by "bike" we mean "bicycle," not motorcycle. This ends the very un-fun paragraph of warnings. Product Specifications •Securely holds your mobile device on the handlebars of your bicycle •Suitable for most mp3 players, iPods, iPhones, PDAs, GPS devices, and mobile phones •Adjustable to the perfect angle, portrait or landscape •Vibration free, quake-proof design •Lightweight and high quality construction •Fits handlebars with a 22-32mm diameter •Installs quickly and easily without screws or tools

Zelda Ocarina

Zelda Ocarina

Geek Toys

While spelunking in the basement at the ThinkGeek headquarters we met a fairy girl handing out bright blue Ocarinas. She mumbled some warning about the end of the world, deku nuts and the tri-force but we were all too busy to notice. Later some employees found that during long afternoon meetings they could summon a galloping horse just by playing the correct melody on their ocarina. But then Ganon burst in and the jig was up... fortunately for you we stashed away a few of these completely playable Ocarina flutes to spend your hard earned rupees on.Best Gadgets

Great balls of fire!

Ghost Pepper Super Hot Candy Balls

Oh how we loved red hots. And atomic fire balls. They sure were hot! Well, Dr. Timmy has been at it in his lab again. He was mixing some candy and some peppers and some electromagical radiation when his lab exploded! At the bottom of the wreckage were a few red candy balls. Dr. Timmy popped one in his mouth and realized he had discovered something amazing: the hottest balls he'd ever had in his monkey mouth. He called them: Timmy's Great Balls of Fire; but we call them Ghost Pepper Super Hot Candy Balls.

Ghost Pepper Super Hot Candy Balls are exactly what their name implies. They are candy balls that have Ghost Pepper (Bhut Jolokia) powder inside and coating them. The result is over 1 million SHU of heat! Why? Because we know you like hot balls, and because we wanted to make sure you had the hottest balls available. Ghost Pepper Super Hot Candy Balls will blow your mind and kick your mouth's butt. "It was like my tongue was punched in the face with a fistful of atom bomb," says young Zack, our photo-victim-du-jour. So trust Dr. Timmy, and get some of these Ghost Pepper Super Hot Candy Balls for yourself, your friends, and your enemies. If you dare!

Force point!

Star Wars Darth Vader Lightsaber Laser Pointer

Star Wars Darth Vader Lightsaber Laser Pointer

Best Gadgets

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away… some bad ass dudes fought with laser swords called Lightsabers. The Lightsaber Laser Pointers are roughly one third scale versions of the Lightsaber hilts carried by the Sith lord Darth Vader. Not only that, they double as red dot laser pointers. Laser pointers are just as useful as the force. They are perfect if you are teaching a class and need to point out the important equation that is written on the board. It is super fun to make your pets chase the dot around. And, just like a Lightsaber, it can cut through enemies like butter. (Well, maybe not...) The Lightsaber Laser Pointers are fully functional red dot lasers and super stylish mini Lightsaber replicas.Gadget for geeks

Compelling Spherical Distraction Contraption

Perplexus

Geek Toys

Have puzzles gone passé? With the advent and subsequent mainstreaming of videogames caused physical toys to go by the wayside? What do you get when you multiply six by nine? The answer to the first two questions is "No," and the last, "42."

The proof that physical puzzles and toys haven't gone the way of the dodo is here. This little sphere contains a really cool three-dimensional maze with a ball bearing inside. Your job is to get the little ball from one end of the maze to the other.

You've got to rotate the sphere through all three physical dimensions, and get our old friend gravity to pull the ball through loops, whorls, around corners, up walls, around pits, and across precipices to get from end to end. Don't worry, for training, there are places in the maze where you can pick up where you failed - call them "save-points" if you must.

We tested the sphere ourselves, and found that even the most technically savvy and hardened gamer out there were significantly distracted by this little ball of fun. So, who said puzzles were passé? Best Gadgets

Fizzy cake drink food beverage.

Fizzy Cupcake Drink Tablets

Oberon and Titania dance in circles, fight often, and sometimes mess with the affairs of mortals. One thing they can both agree on, however, is that the only drink worth drinking is Cupcake Juice (it's the real reason why cupcakes are called fairy cakes in some locals). But it's actually a lengthy brewing process to get said juice, so when the Fairy King and Queen travel, they bring along some Fizzy Cupcake Drink Tablets. And now you can, too!

Fizzy Cupcake Drink Tablets are effervescent tablets that you plop into any liquid you want. It will add fizz and also an enchanting cupcake taste. Add to water to take it straight, or try milk for a creamier (and calcium-er) taste. Really, your imagination is the limit. Why, you can even use Fizzy Cupcake Drink Tablets as a prank to surprise your friends (you could do that with the Fizzy Bacon Drink Tablets below, but somehow that seems too mean). We like cupcakes and we like drinking - so Fizzy Cupcake Drink Tablets are the perfect combination of both! Fizzy Cupcake Drink Tablets
•Plop it into liquid, and watch it fizz up with the taste of cupcakes!
•Works to add cupcake to any drink: water, milk, soda, wine, etc.
•Each tin contains about fifteen tablets.
•Tin Dimensions: 2.25" diameter.

Always know your way out

ExiTool Automotive Rescue Tool

Copywriter monkey would like to make a confession. She's deathly afraid of dungeon crawls. She's pretty sure it all started back in the days of EverQuest, when she enjoyed tearing across Norrath at the speed of sound with her wood elf bard. Being confined in an indoor zone with evil frogs and unable to run fast makes for one paranoid and neurotic bard. The idea of being trapped in a vehicle? Equally paranoia inducing. What could be worse than being trapped in a tiny vehicle with no way to get out? Oh yeah. Being trapped in a tiny vehicle sinking to the bottom of a lake. That is probably worse than death by froglok. Especially if you've forgotten the words to your Enduring Breath song...

Every driver has a panicked thought about being trapped in their car after an accident. What if you can't release a jammed seatbelt or can't reach the button to release it? What if the car is filling with water and you can't open the doors? The ExiTool fits on any standard seat belt with a simple folding clasp. It includes a seat belt cutter, designed to cut ONLY seat belts. Tiny fingers may TRY to get in there, but they can't! The tungsten carbide window breaker will easily and safely shatter side windows both on ground and under water so you can make your escape. The LED flashlight is great for shedding light on any situation, whether it's an emergency or an "emergency" like your cell phone falling in the void between the seats. If you have a vehicle, it needs an ExiTool. You may never need it, but if you do, you'll thank your Past Self for ordering one.

Product Specifications

•The ultimate safety tool to prevent being trapped in your vehicle

•Fits unobtrusively on any standard seat belt

•Features a seat belt cutter, window breaker, and LED flashlight

•Seat belt cutter designed so even the tiniest fingers can't accidentally cut themselves

Cuddle-Up with the Un-Dead

Dismember-Me Plush Zombie

Geek Toys

What happens when you take old broken plush toys and bury them in the woods by the light of the full moon while whistling the theme song from "Halloween"? Unfortunately nothing...which is why the skillful design monkeys here at ThinkGeek were forced to come-up with our own scary (but cute) zombie plush.

The Dismember-Me Plush Zombie begs to be torn limb from limb. After all he is a decaying re-animated corpse turned into irresistible cuddly plush. Rip off an arm... he doesn't mind. Tear him in half.. he'll barely notice. Pull off his legs... ok now he's getting a bit annoyed. Steal his brain... now you've really done it. Keep your teddy bears under close guard tonight because undead plush have come back from hell to walk the earth.Best Gadgets

Bacon beans

Bacon Beans Jellybeans

Latest Gadgets

Sometime in the past a giant monolith appeared to primitive man. Only it wasn't black and shiny, and it sure didn't teach us how to use tools. It was white and red/brown and wavy. It taught us to love bacon. And now we celebrate this ancient alien gift with Bacon Beans Jellybeans. Inside each bacon-shaped tin of Bacon Beans Jellybeans is a small hoard of bacon flavored jellybeans. The beans are to remind you of the beauty of the tin and the tin is to remind you of the tastiness of the beans. It's a never ending circle of bacon goodness.

Beautiful and Puzzling

Geek Toys

Frabjous Sculpture Puzzle

The Frabjous Sculpture Puzzle is a sculpture and geometric assembly puzzle. The swirling geometric form is composed of thirty identical pieces. Mathematically, the planes of the shape are the face planes of a "great rhombic triacontahedron," a self-intersecting polyhedron with thirty rhombic faces. But the puzzle piece is a carefully designed subset of the rhombus that doesn't intersect copies of itself.

Ok, so we copied most of that from the back of the Frabjous Sculpture Puzzle box. It's written by the sculpture's designer, George Hart (the Chief of Content at the Museum of Mathematics), and is very mathematical sounding. We think the Frabjous Sculpture Puzzle looks like a pretty flower. You will find it very challenging to put together (each piece is the same -sheesh!), but also very rewarding once it's completed. With your Frabjous Sculpture Puzzle assembled achievement unlocked, you will be propelled to the top of your social circle. Or, at least, you'll feel more awesome than you already are. Mathematical!

Frabjous Sculpture Puzzle
•30 identical pieces combine to form a beautiful geometric sculpture.
•Pieces are laser cut, blue frosted acrylic.
•Recommended for ages 16+.
•Includes: 30 pieces and instructions.
•Assembled Dimensions: 6" x 6" x 6"

Now the enterprise crew knows how GLaDOS felt

Star Trek Potato Heads

Like peanut butter and jelly or portals and cake, the marriage of Star Trek: The Original Series and Mr. Potato Head is a match for the ages. Both were enjoyed by children from the mid-60s and onwards into our modern era. Both involve suspension of disbelief. And if you're into writing fanfic, you're probably no stranger to Kirk stealing and wearing one of Uhura's dresses.

The folks at Mr. Potato Head teamed up with Star Trek to make these four amazing toys. Can you capture Kirk's animal magnetism in a plastic potato? Maybe not quite, but he makes us smile whenever we look at him. Each Potato Head has parts that can be exchanged with other Star Trek Potato Heads.

Product Specifications
•Amazing Star Trek themed Mr. Potato Head toys
•Modeled after characters from The Original Series
•Choose your pair:
◦Kirk & Kor the Klingon
◦Mr. Spock & Uhura - coming soon!
•Slightly smaller than a standard Mr. Potato Head
•Tiny details make them as true to TOS as a potato can get!

Touch your parts to make a drum beat!

Ningen Gakki Body-Conductive Musical Instrument

We could make up a funny story here, but with the Ningen Gakki Body-Conductive Musical Instrument, truth is stranger than fiction. It looks like a littler person with metal contacts on its hands and feet. Here's what you do: get three friends to each hold onto one of these contacts, turn your Ningen Gakki Body-Conductive Musical Instrument on, and then hit each other. What results will be musical magic. Read on!

See, each time a circuit is completed (i.e. you touch someone else holding a contact) the Ningen Gakki Body-Conductive Musical Instrument plays a different sound. There are three modes: Song Mode (pick from one of 10 songs - each touch will advance the song one note); Sound Effect Mode (choose from 3 sound banks - each touch will make a sound); and Drums Mode (our favorite - your bodies become a drum set). Now, you don't really have to hit each other, any touch will do (we just think hitting each other to make a drum beat is funny). With the Ningen Gakki Body-Conductive Musical Instrument, you and your friends will be able to make beautiful music together with your bodies. Let the games (and the beats) begin!

Ningen Gakki Body-Conductive Musical Instrument
•4 people hold onto the Ningen Gakki and then touch each other to complete circuits and trigger sounds.
•It's sort of like a combination of The Three Stooges and a human beat box.
•Three Modes:

◦Song Mode - select from one of 10 songs and then each touch will advance the song one note.
◦Sound Effect Mode - select from one of 3 sound banks full off sounds from bleeps to animals.
◦Drums Mode - enjoy a really nice drum set. Slap to the beat!
•Auto shut off feature.
•Straight from Japan!
•Batteries: 2 AAA (not included).
•Dimensions: approx. 4.25" x 3.75" x 1"

Fly the TARDIS. Save the Universe!

Doctor Who Save the Universe Board Game

We know what you're thinking. Bow ties, fezzes, and Stetsons are cool. But so is flying your own TARDIS and battling against fellow Time Lords! Honestly, this is going to be one of the few times in your life you stand a chance of seeing an Adipose face-off against a Dalek with a decent chance of winning. The rules are easy, the goal simple: collect more pairs of enemy disks than everyone else. Of course, nothing is really all that simple when you're dealing with immortal adversaries with two hearts.

Here's how the game is played:

Spin the arrow and race around the TARDIS console, collecting enemy disks that feature your favorite Raxacoricofallapatorians, the Slitheen, hindbrain wielding Ood, Jundoon, and even old Davros himself. Share a square with another player and you can battle it out to take one of their enemy disks. Will your Weeping Angel beat their Cyberman? Just be careful - landing on the time vortex may have interesting consequences, in the Hoban Washburne definition of interesting.

Product Specifications
•For Ages 6+
•2-6 players
•Game circle folds out to reveal a TARDIS control panel as the board for your adventure
•Box includes dice, tokens, spinning arrow and TARDIS - the only thing missing is you and your friends!
•Actual knowledge of temporal mechanics - or even Doctor Who - not required

Room-filling, 360-degree sound from a laptop? You bet.

Laptop Speaker Bar

Laptop Speaker Bar

Let's face it: laptop speakers suck. They're tinny and flat and just plain ewwy. If you care about music, listening to it through a laptop's speakers is downright painful. But what if your only computer is a laptop? You can hook it up to a docking station and real speakers when you're at home, but what about when you're lounging on the couch or on the road? Do you have to settle for sucky sound quality? Heck no, not when you have a Laptop Speaker Bar!

The Laptop Speaker Bar clips easily to the top of most laptops and netbooks and stays securely fastened for as long as you need it. The USB cable plugs into your laptop on one end and tucks neatly into the back of the speaker to prevent cord clutter. It's plug-and-play, so you can enjoy room-filling, 360-degree sound from your laptop instantly. And it comes with a travel case, so you can bring it with you on business trips, conventions, or anywhere else you'd like better quality sound.

The smart baby's bouncer

MamaRoo Bouncer

Geek Toys

The MamaRoo Bouncer is the ultimate bouncer for developing the geek in your new baby. Begone, days of bouncers that only bounce! The MamaRoo's seat moves up and down and side to side, just like a real Mama! Programmed into the seat are five movement modes: car ride, kangaroo, tree swing, rock-a-bye, and ocean. The seat can recline for napping or be more upright for play. The LCD display makes operating your MamaRoo a breeze.

Three plush balls in the mobile are decorated in the style of Van Gogh, Monet, and Seurat to engage the wee creative brain. Here's where MamaRoo's attention to detail blew us away. The balls are black and white on one side and color on the other. Why? Because that's what's best for baby's brain! Newly-forged neurons love the high contrast of black and white. As baby gets older, flip the balls to the color side and it's a whole new world of visual stimulation. The toy bar pivots for easy access for insertion and removal of baby.

The MamaRoo comes with built-in nature sounds for baby soothing, but you can hook your mp3 player to your MamaRoo if your baby prefers to rock out to L. Hadron and the Colliders. You know that day when your baby insists on you singing the same song over and over OR ELSE? Save your vocal cords! Set the mp3 player to repeat the tune and do your best Milli Vanilli impression. The magic of the MamaRoo makes for happy babies and content baby mamas and daddies.

Zen and the Art of Wire Management

iStubz iPhone Sync / Charge Cable

It is said that a clean desktop is a sign of an uncluttered mind. Do you know who said that? Ki Lo Ni, the Great Teacher. Meditate on this truth with us. Ohmmmmmmmm. Truthfully, if you look down at your desk now, and you don't see what looks like a spaghetti tangle of wiring, consider yourself lucky. That sort of organization leads to a healthy mind, and inner awareness. However, not all devices can work effectively without wires. Wireless charging and syncing is still in its infancy, and not supported by all devices. If you own an iPhone and you'd like to charge and sync your phone without adding a half-meter of white-wire coils to your workstation, you can attempt to cut and splice your cable (not recommended) or go with our extra-short iStubz Sync and Charge cable. Three tiny inches will more than satisfy.

Shoot in Pitch Dark and Experiment with Infrared Photography

Midnight Shot NV-1 Night Vision Camera

Digital cameras aren't exactly the most exciting gadgets these days... that's why you can trust your friends at ThinkGeek to up the ante and deliver the Midnight Shot NV-1 Night Vision Camera. You get 5.0 megapixels and an invisible infrared flash to light up your subjects in total darkness. Or experiment with Infrared photography that lets you do crazy stuff like see through some types of fabric and materials.

The Midnight Shot NV-1 Night Vision Camera is switchable between standard photography mode and infrared night-shot mode. When you enter night-shot the infrared blocking filter normally over the lens retracts to let all infrared light through, at the same time a super-bright IR LED invisibly illuminates (to your eyes) the entire scene.

You'll notice that during the daytime in night vision mode you can see through some types of clothing, paper and other various thin materials. This is because infrared light can penetrate these surfaces while light visible to the human eye bounces off. The Midnight Shot NV-1 sees both visible light and infrared light, making both viewable to humans. If you want to accentuate this effect you can make your own (or buy) an infrared filter which allows only infrared light to pass through, eliminating the visible light spectrum.
Important Note:
Respect the privacy of your fellow humans and don't use the Midnight Shot NV-1 Night Vision Camera for evil.

Retro Gaming Emulation Juggernaut... Redux

GP2X Caanoo MAME/Console Emulator

You may be familiar with the original GP2X Wiz gaming console that emulated over a dozen different gaming systems and made pocket size retro-gaming nostalgia a reality. Now GP2X has launched the Caanoo... a new improved version of the Wiz with a larger screen and improved controls. Of course incredible MAME emulation allows you to run all your favorite arcade video game classics, even vector games. Amiga game emulation is rock solid. Commodore 64, NES, SNES, Gameboy, Gameboy Advance, NeoGeo, Flash Games and more too numerous to mention. Of course you'll need to find yourself some game roms... but we have a feeling that's no problem for you and Google.

The Caanoo can do a host of other useful things besides gaming. It can play video files including MPEG4, Xvid and DIVX. You get a built in e-book reader, calendar, voice recorder... etc... you know the drill. Unlimited storage is available via the SD (SDHC) card slot. The high-res touchscreen makes navigation easy and the gaming controls feature a thumbstick on the left with 4 buttons on the right and two shoulder buttons on the top. It's plenty good for anything a retro game can dish out. There is an active development community for the Caanoo and with a respectable ARM9 533MHz Processor overclockable to 800Mhz you've got plenty of power to play with if you're interested to write your own applications. Now you can actually sell your own apps via the new FunGP site if you're interested. Details are below.

Caution: Please Read Before Ordering
The Caanoo does not come with any games, emulator software or game roms pre-installed. First you need to provide your own SD card to load games onto. Then you'll need to download the freeware emulator app for the console or computer system you want to emulate. Then you'll need to unzip the emulator software, and copy it to an SD card along with some game roms you've downloaded. Then start-up the Caanoo, and run the emulator from the "Games" menu. Inside the emulator you'll choose the rom you want to load and then the game can begin. Each emulator software interface is a bit different and most give you the option to overclock the Caanoo to get the best performance. Remember you are running emulator software... most games work perfectly, but some may run slow or be glitchy. You may have to configure the controls to work well with the game you want to play. Documentation is not always the best, so you might need to put in a bit of effort to figure things out. If any of this scares you, then you may want to reconsider your purchase.

Here is a great site where you can freely download all the emulators available for the Caanoo as well as other homebrew software. Please take a look at this before you buy. http://dl.openhandhelds.org/cgi-bin/wiz.cgi

FunGP App Store for Caanoo
For those looking for another option to get software and Apps onto your Caanoo you can try FunGP, run by Korean manufacturer Gamepark. This gives you a more "App Store" like experience where you'll find some unusal but cool Korean games for purchase.
