We typically rate the enjoyability of holiday-season shopping for our nearest and dearest somewhere between hypotheticals gigs as Hillary Clinton's personal IT concierge and sensitivity counselor to Donald Trump. That being said, you could surely understand why the Geek Fuel Mega Pack is nothing short of a godsend. ...
Groot doesn't say much. Then again, when your roots don't lie, you can afford to be an anthropomorphic tree of few words. Three words at a time, to be exact. Meanwhile, this exclusive ThinkGeek-original Marvel Groot USB Car Charger lets your music and that groovy junk in his trunk do the talking while pumping ...
Music is timeless, and those that have created popular music became legends with the passing of time, just like the band The Beatles.

When you boil it right down, does the Marvel universe offer a more definitive heroic patron saint of PC gamers than Tony Stark? Think about it a moment.

Hey, everybody who has ever moaned about Hollywood "destroying/raping/burning your childhood?" Not another word until you prove to us that you didn't just look at Pikachu re-imagined to look like one of the uber-vampires from "Blade II" and feel a warm trickle run down your leg. Credit where it's due to Disse86: ...
Of Peter Capaldi's stellar two series thus far as the grandfatherly throwback Twelfth Doctor of "Doctor Who," our favorite chilling story yet just might be "Flatline." There's a sobering lesson to take away as the TARDIS rapidly shrinks with the universe's greatest Time Lord trapped inside: no matter how much bigger ...
The original "Star Trek" is nothing if not timeless. It was an exciting, fun, and often thoughtful slice of sci-fi cheese 50 years ago and the years have only endeared it further to one generation after another. Time may stand still today when we venture aboard Capt. James T. Kirk's iconic U.S.S. Enterprise ...

We tried, everybody. We really held out as long as we could. Yes, Halloween arrives in less than a week. Yes, we still have Thanksgiving just a month ahead. Despite taking all that into consideration, you need to remember there are two things we instinctively nerd-out over at the drop of a hat: Star Wars and Hallmark ...
If the month leading up to Christmas is America's manic salute to gift-giving, marketing, and capitalism, then Halloween is our annual roasting of all things pop-culture. Costumed kids travel from door to door and collect mountains of candy to bury the odd toothbrush, religious tract, or box of raisins. Meanwhile, ...
Wearing these ThinkGeek-original Chewbacca Slippers always reminds us of what our fathers used to tell us about rubbing a rabbit's foot for good luck: "It wasn't so lucky for the rabbit, was it?" They might let loose with two authentic, different Wookie sounds as we walk when we have them switched on, but they ...

What is the deal lately all the miniature nostalgic gaming cabinets and consoles? Hey, we have an even better question: who the crispity-crunchity hell cares? Between the Mini-NES and an actual competitive market for scaled-down working arcade cabinets, portable gaming has taken on whole new dimensions. Literally. ...
Before you shop these Star Wars bedroom decor options from Rooms To Go Kids, just know this: we reserve the burning hatred of the Dark Side for any child that gets to fall asleep every night in a black X-Wing twin bookcase bed. It's nothing personal, we swear. Those are just our wildest childhood dreams. No big ...
The late Jim Henson's name typically isn't considered synonymous with nostalgic nightmare fuel. Of course, someone then has to bring up "The Dark Crystal" and we have to ask ourselves all over again why the father of the Muppets and "Sesame Street" would show us such things. It's no wonder at all that we're ...

Hello, San Dimas! For what our opinions are worth, there are two kinds of people in this world: people who acknowledge "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" as the single greatest comedy ever made and those who can make convincing arguments for "Wayne's World." Sure, it's a mindset that has gotten us rejected from ...
This Death Star Popcorn Maker is a Death Star that air-pops scrumptious, fluffy popcorn. That's about as plain as descriptions get. It doesn't employ space-age laser weapons to obliterate friends who won't close his Pit of Carkoon during movies. You can't engage a tractor beam to float the salt to you. It heats the ...
If "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" taught us absolutely nothing else, we know that the First Order is already at the disadvantage of being led by a Sith apprentice with roughly the temperament of an unhinged One Direction fan. Little Ben Solo grew up so ardently worshipping the ground his grandfather Darth Vader was ...
Quick question: do you think Batman ever takes car-naps? You know, just parks the Batmobile someplace quiet mid-patrol and dozes off?

As much as we're charmed by those adorable little coin banks that have a little cat or raccoon or some other cutesy creature peek out of a lid and slip a paw out to quickly "steal" our change, we couldn't be more thankful that the Alien "Big Chap" Bust Bank is just a chillingly detailed vinyl statue. Can you imagine ...
Listen to us very carefully, people of Earth: we won't be the least bit proud to have chosen Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton as our next President of the United States, but whichever turns out to be the lesser of two chuckleheads, look upon these preserved severed heads while you digest both the good and bad news of ...
Here's the biggest upside of these Star Wars Jawa Lawn Ornaments: sure, Jawas could hardly be called authorities on keeping anyone's grass green, but our lead operative in Arizona tells us that he's based a drinking game on taking a shot every time his neighbors double-take at seeing them posed with a "captured" ...
"No such thing as a 'sure thing'," eh? Well, hypothetical sir or madam who just tried to prevent us from doing something irredeemably stupid, we would no sooner believe that than accept that all our dads didn't really step out to pick up pizza and RC Cola 25 years ago at exactly the same time and probably won't be ...
Want to blend in at your next geek convention? Deadpool. Keep calm and be Deadpool. Yes, we're aware that "be Deadpool" would imply exuding the exact opposite of "calm."

It's here. Thank Kirkman Almighty, the homestretch toward the seventh season of AMC's "The Walking Dead" is finally here and we're as jubilant as Steve Martin with a brand-new phonebook.

Every so often, an item throws us completely off our expectations. We genuinely thought we had seen every piece of superb licensed Star Wars merchandise and memorabilia that could make us furiously launch our cash at our screens at escape velocity.

This November, get read to break the ground you've been dying to explore since you first saw "Star ...
We would say with about 99% certainty that toyetic interests were far from the first concerns on George Lucas's mind in 1977 when he was preparing for what we know today as "Star Wars: A New Hope" to hit theaters. Yes, we reserve that last 1% out of respect for those of us who still can't sanction the buffoonery of ...
To your average a civilian, a ghost is a ghost. If your stock in trade happens to entail ridding the living of paranormal nuisances one entity at a time, you can't afford to be so blasé.

We once thought we had mastered the "Ultimate Rope Trick." We so certain that our basement full of bound pizza delivery drivers who had never given us any trouble with escape attempts after more than a decade would be enough to back our claims for years to come, were we to ever let them go. Hey, we had to make sure ...
Adult comic book aficionados - not to be confused with aficionados of "adult" comic books, though there's certainly overlap - suffer under an unfortunate, albeit not entirely baseless stereotype of sorely lacking a certain fashionable panache.

"The Tick" creator Ben Edlund has been a busy fellow lately, but not so much so that he brushed off a chance to fill Yahoo TV in on what had to change in order to ready the big blue hero for his return to live-action comedy with a brand-new Amazon pilot arriving this month. Nerds! Wait! Stop. Just put some pins in ...
In Loving Memory Of Kenny Baker, The R2-D2 Popcorn Maker Pays Tribute With Air-Popped Snacks We would doubly cherish this R2-D2 Popcorn Maker, if only our praise for it didn't feel in part like a loving honorarium to an icon of our formative geeky memories - even if we rarely ever saw his face prior to the past ...
What can we say? We've gotta have our Pops. Sad, but true. Our crippling addition to breakfast cereal took root in the early 90's and has barely relinquished its grip since. It saps our financial resources so persistently, we can barely keep up with our parallel compulsion to collect every brand-new Funko POP! ...
Ah, Academia. You'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. The cunning student of any age trusts nothing less than the Mandalorian armor of Boba Fett to keep their stuff both secure and easily at hand.
