Game of Thrones 1/6 scale Tyrion Lannister Action Figure

Game of Thrones 1/6 scale Tyrion Lannister Action Figure

Game of Thrones 1/6 scale Tyrion Lannister Action Figure

There's one thing we can say about Tyrion Lannister: he may be "half" a man, but he is one HUGE CHARACTER. We loved him in the books and we are absolutely enthralled by Peter Dinklage's portrayal of Tyrion in the HBO series. He's just perfect. In many ways, Tyrion is the geek we all want to be: he's well-read, he's ultra-smart and witty, he gets the girls (even if he has to pay for them), and he's filthy stinkin' rich...

SunMod Solar Modification Kit

SunMod Solar Modification Kit

SunMod Solar Modification Kit

At first, we saw a picture of a solar-powered TV remote and thought to ourselves, "Wait? The TV remote lives INDOORS. Why would we want to make it solar-powered?" Then we realized that this could kill two angry birds with one stone. For starters, we'd have a remote that's always charged. But most importantly, we'd have to always leave the remote on the windowsill next to the couch, thus starting a good habit. This good habit will alleviate us of all the pain and suffering caused when we forget where we left the remote. Brilliant. Now we just need a few more kits to modify our game controllers. Add the SunMod Kit to any AA or AAA battery powered device and you will never need new batteries again. One set of NiMH batteries (not included) will last you forever because the sun will recharge them! Included in the kit is a flexible solar cell 4.8V with soldered metal connectors, mailable packaging, and double-sided tape. It's a fun and easy hack and a great way to get familiar with solar power projects. Product Specifications Hack any AA or AAA battery powered device to make it solar powered Never need new batteries again - just use the sun! Included: Flexible solar cell 4.8v with soldered metal connectors Mailable packaging and double-sided tape Easy way to break into solar power projects NiMH batteries are required and not included

UV Monkey

UV Monkey

UV Monkey

Before we went into space ourselves we first sent a few monkeys up there as a test. You know, check it out, see how it feels, bring back a detailed report and let us know how it worked out. These "brave" monkeys flew a number of missions to investigate the various biological effects of going into space, so we would have a better idea of what humans might experience. This small keyring gadget is like your own personal space monkey. The UV Monkey will assist you by checking UV levels so that you know when to charge solar devices - and when to protect your skin. Once exposed to sunlight, the center will change to different shades of purple to indicate increasing levels of UV light (darker means higher level of UV). The UV Monkey can indicate 4 different ranges of the UV Index (Index 1-2, Index 3-5, Index 6-8, Index 9-11).

MicroStylus Compact Capacitive Touch Stylus

MicroStylus Compact Capacitive Touch Stylus

MicroStylus Compact Capacitive Touch Stylus

This just might be the best stylus ever made. I’m completely serious. - Matt Burns, TechCrunch Woe are we, the clumsy, the fat-fingered. It takes us twice as long to text because we're either cursing auto-correct or constantly backspacing to correct our mistakes. We've bookmarked every site we like because we can't be trusted to type URLs. Our accuracy in Angry Birds is pitiful, our verisimilitude in drawing games is laughable. We can't even pick up the right letter from our rack in Words with Friends. Woe, woe, woe. No more! The MicroStylus Jack is the tiny stylus that will have you texting with the skill of a middle schooler on Red Bull. Precision machined from aircraft grade aluminum, the MicroStylus has a soft silicone tip that gives you the edge for texting, drawing, emailing, or gaming. Where do you store this tiny wonder, you ask? Right in your headphone jack. Bam. It keeps dust out of your phone's interior while standing at the ready for your next move on Words with Friends. (Better take advantage of that TW square!) Product Specifications The world's smallest capacitive touch stylus Milled aluminum body with a soft silicone tip Perfect for an on-the-go stylus to take notes or game Keeps your screen free of greasy fingerprints Stores in your 3.5mm headphone jack Doubles as an audio jack dust cap Compatible with all capacitive touch surfaces (iPhone, Android, tablets, etc)

Monkey Light 8-Bit Bike Wheel Light

Monkey Light 8-Bit Bike Wheel Light

Monkey Light 8-Bit Bike Wheel Light

Let's get one thing clear, we like lights on our bikes. Maybe it's because we want a pedal-powered lightcycle, or maybe it's just because LEDs make us happy deep down inside. Whatever. While we do have some excellent simple LED bike lights (see below), there are times when we want to pull out all the stops. These times call for us to step up the hardware. These times call for a Monkey Light 8-Bit Bike Wheel Light! The Monkey Light 8-Bit Bike Wheel Light is just a lovely piece of awesome. The battery pack straps to your bike wheel's hub (so it doesn't mess up the balance) and the light unit quickly installs near the tire. With a few button presses, you're selecting one of 20 different light patterns which will blast out of both sides of your tire (5 super-bright LEDs per side). And then you get to select the colors you want (each theme has many color options). Finally, use science (persistence of vision) and your own muscles (pedaling power) to turn 10 spots of light into awesome streaking patterns. Skulls, invaders from space, rocket ships, fiery comets, and 16 more! Get one Monkey Light 8-Bit Bike Wheel Light for each tire, and you will have the coolest bicycle ever (with the singular exception of Pee-Wee Herman's). Monkey Light 8-Bit Bike Wheel Light Straps to your bike's wheel for a delightful lightshow. Choose from 20 themes and tons of colors (you get to pick the theme and then the color)! 10 full color, ultra-bright LEDs! Hub mount (for battery pack) keeps wheel balanced. Fits bicycle wheels 20" and larger(20, 24, 26, 27, 28, 29, 700c). Great visibility at all speeds (complex patterns best visible at 10+ mph). Maximum safe speed: 40mph.

Steel Digital Calipers w/ LCD Screen

Stainless Steel Digital Calipers w/ LCD Screen

Stainless Steel Digital Calipers w/ LCD Screen

You know the old saying, "Measure twice, cut once" that you probably learned from your geekdad whilst in his basement workshop? Well, it turns out that saying got its start because back in the day, measuring devices were awful. Whether you were measuring 3 inches or 3 yards, you couldn't be entirely sure your measurement was accurate. Measuring twice at least gave you a fighting chance of getting it kinda right. Did your homemade back porch wobble a little bit in places? Ours did, too. When you require exact measurements of small things, you reach for a caliper. But an accurate measurement is meaningless if you can't read it accurately. This caliper takes an essential tool into the 21st century with an extra-large LCD digital readout for exact internal and outside measurements accurate to .001". Instantly converts from SAE or Metric, the display can be zeroed at any point on the slide. Machine-grooved thumb-roll mechanism and position lock for sure adjustment. It's sexy with its hardened stainless steel shaft with depth-measurement probe and precision ground jaws. Measuring never looked so good. Rawr.

FieldCandy Space Tent

FieldCandy Space Tent

FieldCandy Space Tent

When we pitched this tent at ThinkGeek HQ, it was an awe-inspiring moment. It is just so darn beautiful. Luckily, while it is full of stars (at least the flysheet is!), entering the tent will not transport you to a faraway star system, unless that's what you usually dream about while sleeping. At the moment, Stephonee (Inventory Monkey & SpaceTweep Extraordinaire) has claimed it as her new office space. We only see her when she has to come in to use the bathroom.

Hold on to your SeV hoodie, because we're going to tell you all about this limited-edition beauty:

Limited Edition Artwork

With the limited edition, digitally printed, designer flysheet (only 195 in the world with the "Spacious" design!) and you'll be hard-pressed to find a twin to your tent wherever your camping adventures may take you.

Heavy-duty Construction

The base tent is a high-performance A-frame storm tent, based on the hardiest expedition tents on the market today. Extreme weather is no problem.

Flysheet

The flysheet is 100% polyester, flex & tear tested, highly UV fade resistant, and waterproof to a minimum of 3m hydrostatic head. It is treated with Ultra-Fresh to prevent buildup of nasties like fungus and bacteria and coated with teflon for ultimate strength.

The flysheet also provides you with a "front porch" to your tent, where you can store items that you don't want in your sleeping space. Pin back one or both sides of the front porch area to let more light into your inner tent.

Zippers

Zippers are from YKK, the world's leading manufacturer of zippers. The flysheet features a YKK zip with large inner and outer toggle protected by a Velcro zip cover.

Pegging Points

Pegging points are strong elastic and adjustable for security and stability. They're designed to prevent roof dipping and groundsheet rucking and include storm guy lines for extra protection in bad weather.

Pegs

FieldCandy pegs are hardened aluminum, extra strong and nigh-impossible to bend. A handy little hole is drilled in there for your custom peg puller. Spare pegs and a hammer for knocking pegs into the ground are included.

Poles

High quality, high strength, lightweight, precision-engineered aluminum alloy poles are quick and easy to set up. With a little wiggle they slot together all by themselves!

Inner Tent

Modern tents are made of plastic and hold moisture inside, resulting in a miserable muggy atmosphere. FieldCandy's inner tent is 100% natural cotton that breathes, making the air inside much drier and more comfortable.

FieldCandy inner tents are sewn with cotton and the flysheets with treated polyester, both through flat felled seams, which are then seam sealed for maximum performance.

Sleeping Space

Bigger than your average 2-person tent, FieldCandy's inner tent has a light grey interior, a mesh window for ventilation & light, and a place to hang your lantern. You won't DIAF either, because the inner tent is fire retardant to EU and US standard CPAI-84. (But always be sure to keep all fire far away from your tent.)

Hollow Spy Coins

Hollow Spy Coins

Hollow Spy Coins

These days spy tools have all gone high tech... don't get us wrong, it's pretty cool to packet sniff someone's network to ferret out secrets, but it just doesn't have the same spy flavor as using a tiny camera to take covert photos for later conversion to microfilm. That's why we love these retro style Hollow Spy Coins. Each coin is precision hand milled to create a secret compartment inside. Once closed, it's virtually impossible to distinguish these spy coins from a regular coin. Store your secrets then pass it off to your undercover contact as pocket change... no one will be the wiser. The half dollar is even capable of storing a micro SD card. Just think, gigs of data in a coin... 007 would be so jealous.

Flying F*CK R/C Helicopter

Flying F*CK R/C Helicopter

Hey... we're all jaded and sometimes you just don't give a flying f*ck... but wouldn't it be nice if you could? Now you can give a flying f*ck to a friend or loved one. This fine r/c helicopter is in the form of a giant hovering F*CK. It has two-channel control meaning it is always moving forward slowly. You control the hover and right and left turns. It's really a genuine gift from the heart... Rather than telling someone you don't care a rats ass about them, you can let them know you respect them enough to give a flying f*ck. Awww... We're tearing up right about now. Important Note The F*CK in the image above is blurred out, but when you get the real copter it's not blurred... Capiche?

Giant Foam Polyhedral Dice

Giant Foam Polyhedral Dice

Every D&D player parent dreams of the day when their youngsters pick up their glittering polyhedrals for the first time. Sometimes, however, those dreams are nightmares as those little dice are certainly choking hazards. You'd be best to keep those dice out of your youngling's hands until they're old enough.

You'd hate to discourage them from exercising their creativity, and prevent them from joining in on the fun of slashing a Kobold in twain with your vorpal sword, but you're concerned for their safety. If only somebody made giant polyhedrals made out of foam... if only...

Oh, goody! ThinkGeek's come to the rescue again! This set of 5 polyhedral dice fits great in your fist, is all squishy, and is a good start for your pint-sized player-to-be. Included in the set is a 4-sider, 8-sider, 10, 12, and 20. I know, there's no six sider, but nobody's perfect.

Of course, for those of you that haven't spawned yet, and are prone to violence towards bastard DMs that giggle with delight when you roll critical failures at your save-vs-death rolls, feel free to chuck this nice soft 20 sided icosahedron at their stupid smiling faces. It'll bounce off, no harm done, but sooo satisfying.

First Time Gear Clock

First Time Gear Clock

First Time Gear Clockfont>

Many great inventors spent their childhoods dismantling telephones and radios, much to their parent's dismay. However, it's important to know that most of the time they were just curious, which is a good thing! There are great jewels to discover, and we should embrace that neverending curiosity!

The First Time Gear Clock is the perfect way to get started on the right foot, or hand (we have endless puns). This educational kit comes disassembled with easy to follow, color-coded instructions. Seeing the fascinating inner-workings of a clock is not only fun, but will also teach about the scientific nature of objects like it. Each small piece of the clock serves a purpose and learning those mechanics will help cognitive development as well. And knowing the time is always beneficial! Don't wait to get your children started on this! After all, we know you have the patience of a saint ; )

The 1980s Arcade Wristwatch

The 1980s Arcade Wristwatch.

This is the watch inspired by the classic arcade games of the 1980s that tracks the time with two asteroids and a spacecraft. Its face enclosed by a miniature cabinet that bears all the nostalgic design elements of its full-sized forebears (including a non-functioning joystick), this watch pays homage to the space battle games that once lined the walls of arcade parlors. It marks the hour with a large asteroid, the minute with a smaller asteroid, and the seconds with a classically simplistic triangular ship that orbits around the face’s center. Although harmless to alien ships and celestial bodies, a press of the button does yield the familiar “pew” sound of a fully functioning energy weapon of the era while lighting up each hour marker. Miyota movement provides “stellar” timekeeping. Black 1" leather band fits wrists between 7 3/4"-10" circumference. Case 2 1/4" H x 1 1/2" W x 1" D. (3 oz.)

Gadget for geeks
Skullhub USB

Skulls. Everybody has one. Some have two or more! Those lucky devils get to wander around fancy dress parties, chatting up girls and saying, "Hey doll, is this guy boring you? Why don't you talk to me instead? I'm from a different planet." Some skulls are enormous, some are quite small, and some have USB 2.0 connectivity. I'm guessing yours doesn't? Well, waste no time and upgrade your skull today! No, put down that power-drill. This isn't some bizarre trepanning experiment! Here - just take this skull, instead! Sure, it's made out of resin, and isn't a real skull, but it's the look you're going for, right? The top has been hacked open and the brains scooped out, but at the jawline are 4 USB 2.0 ports just waiting to be connected to your keyboard, mouse, thumb drive, or USB powered corpse-reanimation device. In the hollow of the brainpan, keep your keys, paper clips, or rusty scalpels.
