Hasta La Gadget!

A couple of years ago Robbie Rane and his friends were making up funny euphemisms for taking a dump. One of his buddies contributed “Toss Boba Fett in the Sarlacc.” The joke got stuck in Robbie’s head like pudding on porcelain, until one day he could bear it no more and decide to take the metaphor literally.

With the help of illustrator Alyssa Scott, Robbie made a set of stickers that will make a toilet bowl look like the Great Pit of Carkoon. Along with Boba Fett – the bounty hunter, not Robbie’s friend’s poop – the set also includes stickers of Han Solo and Chewbacca saving Lando Calrissian.

Robbie sells the Toilet Sarlacc decal set for $25 (USD). I don’t know how much your plumber will charge to install it.

I’m not sure why, but family stick figure decals on cars always annoy me. Maybe I’m just jealous I didn’t think of the idea first. Anyway, I actually find these Star Trek decals to be pretty cool. Carpooling: The Final Frontier.

This set doesn’t just include a few decals either. All of your Trek favorites are here and they look great. You get a total of 32 decals in the set, with 23 different characters from the original series.

• Tall characters (4 3/4″ tall): Capt. Kirk, Spock, Nurse Chapel, Uhura, McCoy, Sulu, Scotty, Chekov, Yeoman Rand, Romulan (female), Andorian, Gorn, Isis, Klingon (male), Orion (female)
• Short characters (3 3/4″ tall): Capt. Kirk x 2, Spock x 2, Nurse Chapel x 2, Uhura, Chekov
• Other: M-113 Creature (5 3/4″ tall) , Mugato (4 1/2″), Tribbles (1″) x 6, Star Trek logo

The full set of decals goes for $14.99(USD) from ThinkGeek. I guess the tribbles represent your pet dog or cat, while the Mugato almost certainly represents your mother-in-law.

If its predecessors are any indication, the PlayStation 4 will eventually be released in a variety of colors and finishes. It probably won’t be released in faux wood though. That’s where dbrand comes in. The Canadian company sells gadget skins made from 3M vinyls. One of their newest products is a mahogany skin for the PS4.

I don’t like how the vinyl looks on the Dualshock 4, but the console looks sweet. If you’re of the same opinion, don’t fret because the skins for the console and the controller are not bundled. In fact the skin for the PS4 is actually made of several pieces, which again can be bought separately.

You can order the mahogany vinyl for the PS 4 from dbrand. It will set you back $45 (USD) if you choose to buy skins for the entire console and one controller. You can also mix and match your order with other types of skins, such as carbon fiber and several metal finishes. Dbrand doesn’t have skins for the Xbox One yet, but I don’t think that will be the case for long.

Sadly, most of us don’t have room – or the spare cash – for a proper arcade cabinet in our homes. It is still fun to pretend though. And now through the magic of decals and Etsy you can turn your fridge into a retro arcade cabinet.

These awesome decals sell for $39.99 a set from Etsy seller Walking Dead Promotions and they will remind you of the good old days every time you open the fridge. Each decal is self-adhesive vinyl and they are easy to apply. They can also be easily removed and leave no residue, aside from the residue of nostalgia.

You don’t even have to insert a coin to snack. Now if you can just make the rest of your kitchen look like an arcade, you will be all set.

Can’t afford an iPhone 5S? Just don’t want to wait for one to show up? Recently bought an iPhone 5 that you can’t return anymore? No worries. For just $24, you can transform your iPhone 5 into Apple’s newest smartphone… minus the features.

MobileFun has debuted a bunch of vinyl kits that will let you do just this. Each kit comes with a complete set of stickers that’ll allow you to cover up your existing iPhone 5 and give it a 5S makeover. From the currently sold-out gold iPhone 5S to the silver and space gray devices, these kits are supposed to let you cheat your way to get the look of the 5S. Or maybe not…

Too bad the kit can’t somehow bring along any of the upgrades or features the iPhone 5S got either. Guess you get what you pay for.
