star wars speakers look like lamps for no apparent reason

star wars speaker mp3 bobblehead

These strange cylinder-head Stormtrooper and Darth Vader are actually speakers, although they look more like lamps.  Either way, they’re butt-ugly.

And no, they aren’t bobbleheads either. You can simply plug in your mp3 player and play your tunes. Unfortunately, they don’t have alarm clocks like these guys, but if you plug in your iPod,…

lego star wars minifig alarm clocks ready to wake you up

lego_star_wars_minifig_alarm_clocks

During their visit to the 2010 Nuremberg Toy Fair, the guys over at Hobby Media snapped this pic of some awesome new LEGO Star Wars minifig alarm clocks.

Each 8-inch tall maxi/minifig sits on your bedside table, and includes an oversize LCD alarm clock in its squared-off chest. I can’t decide if I’d want…

peace between the empire and the rebels was brought about by… canned tuna?

star_wars_tuna

In a galaxy far, far away, tuna proved more powerful than any Force. It brought peace and joy to all.

Enemies put down their lightsabers and sat down to enjoy a meal together. There was much dancing and posing and who the hell is that dude in the back supposed to be?

adidas star wars: force milk franchise!

Adidas Star Wars Stormtrooper

If you liked Marc Ecko’s line of Star Wars hoodies then you should prepare your wallet for another deluge of Star Wars-themed gear, although this time it’s from Adidas, so most of them are shoes, and unlike the detailed Ecko hoodies, some of them are just classic designs slapped with a Star Wars name…

darth vader and stormtrooper incense holders: smell the dark side of the force

darth_vader_stormtrooper_incense

I’m not sure who the target demo is for these Star Wars Imperial incense holders. Maybe they’re for geekster-hippies? Dunno. What I do know is that they’re weird, and therefore I had to write about them. Because as you know, we’re all about weird here on technabob.

Now what sort of incense would burn…

star wars flash drives: don’t use the force to push ‘em into your usb slot

star_wars_flash_drives

These aren’t the first Star Wars themed flash drives I’ve seen, but they do have the biggest heads I’ve seen on a Star Wars flash drive, so at least they’ve got that going for them.

The bobblehead-esque USB drives feature the likenesses of Darth Vader,Yoda, a Stormtrooper and Boba Fett, and each one stores…

sega dreamcast stormtrooper portable: the dreamtrooper

Sure, it’s past its time, but the SEGA Dreamcast is still one of the greatest video game systems of all time. So when I found out that someone out there had turned this classic console into an all-in-one portable, I was stoked.

It took modder Jon Jandran (aka “Hailrazer”) about 90 hours of blood,…

do stormtroopers eat bologna on wonder bread?

Ah, another ho-hum day on the job. You know, you get up, you put on your white battle armor, load up your E-11 battle rifle, and head out to work. But before you run out the door, don’t forget your lunchbox!

Whether you’re performing services for the Republic or Imperial Army, you need to…
