Latext Star Trek: TNG Uniform Dress

Set phasers to stunning.

Price: $255 + Shipping

Engage the attention of every guy (and some of the girls) at the local Star Trek convention with this amazing little number put together by ShhhCoutureLatex on Etsy. Sure it’s not exactly logical to wear latex instead of a more traditional fabric, but I can guarantee most anyone who gets a look at a girl in this dress is going to find their emotion clouding their logic if you know what I mean.

“Don’t worry. I’ve got this one.”

(Yes, I’m aware those are two different uniforms from different time periods in the franchise and continuity. No, I don’t care.)

Wheel of Time Heron Marked Sword

“Not to be used as a weapon fighting off home invasions. Unless it’s Trollocs invading your house.”

Price: $220-$275

The Dragon had to fight a prolonged hellish war of attrition, go insane, kill everyone he loved, die, be reborn, and risk round two on the whole insanity thing to get his heron marked blade. Thankfully all you need for that same honor is a credit card and a couple hundred dollars sitting in your bank account. And you don’t even have to mess with all that “Sheathing the Sword” crap unless you let Larry take it down from its display after he’s had a few too many drinks or you take that cute girl* from Statistics to your apartment and the sight of your officially licensed replica is enough to make her want to do a little “Sheathing the Sword” right then and there.**

Hell, who wouldn’t want a sword that awesome?

*Or the cute guy. There’s no rule says a lady can’t have a bitchin’ prop replica sword hanging on herwall.

**Results may vary and depend on how much your visitor loves Wheel of Time or how much your visitor has had to drink that night.

LEGO Star Wars Death Star

“I’m afraid those plastic bricks will be fully operational by the time your feet arrive.”

The LEGO Star Wars Death Star kit is what made me realize LEGO store workers are crazy. Or, more likely, they’re paid to act crazy about all things LEGO until it’s time to clock out. Our conversation went something like this:

LEGO guy: I see you’re looking at the Death Star, pretty cool huh?

Me: Yeah, it is.

LEGO guy: So you gonna buy this bad boy?

Me: It’s $500. For a hunk of plastic.

LEGO guy: Yeah, it’s a real deal isn’t it?

Me: I could buy half a good computer or all of a shitty computer for that money.

LEGO guy: Well yeah, but this comes with exclusive figurines you only get with this set! Totally worth it!

And maybe it is worth it to you! I have to admit that I would love one of these bad boys just sitting on my computer desk going all “sup?” every time I open the door. The problem is I don’t have enough disposable cash flow at the moment to justify it. But someday. Oh yes, someday.
