Hasta La Gadget!

We’ve seen lots of geeky gingerbread treats, but none so tough as this gingerbread Wookiee. Let them win at games or they will rip your arm out of its socket. Eat a gingerbread Wookiee and they will likely punch you in the gut from the inside.

This tasty gingerbread version of Chewbacca comes from Craftster member kala who does a great job making fine wookie hair and makes a mean bandoleer. It may not be as impressive as a Death Star gingerbread treat, but this guy is pretty darn cute and probably just as tasty.

This is why they call him Chewie, people! I like the eyes, but don’t want him to look at me when I bite into him.

This awesome gingerbread Death Star is the ultimate power in the universe. The tastiest too. In fact, it recently won a gingerbread house-building tournament at The Swedish Centre for Architecture in Stockholm, Sweden. It comes from Redditor Sillstryparn.

This is the second Death Star as you can see. The first was obviously destroyed by snowmen piloting X-wing fighters made from candy canes.

This spicy space station took 12 people to build it and it is made out of about 1,200 cookies. The creator says that it took friendship, cooperation and sense of purpose to create this special project. It was seen as a “metaphor in the challenge to all the world’s people must practice love for each other to maintain and build up our planet.” That’s a nice sentiment, but I just need to know where I can get a tall glass of milk so I can get started on this thing.

Forget the world’s largest gingerbread house. We have all heard the phrase “It takes a village” and a gingerbread village is exactly what we have here. It is on display at Texas A&M University. Let’s all crash the party. Gingerbread houses for everyone.

The world’s largest gingerbread village was created by New York Chef Jon Lovitch. This village consists of 152 houses and 65 trees and weighs over 1.5 tons. It is made up of 500 pounds of gingerbread, 400 pounds of candy and 2,240 pounds of icing. That’s enough to give everyone who even looks at it a stomach ache.

It cost a few thousand dollars to complete, but it is now in the Guinness Book of World Records, so it was well worth it. It is too neat to eat, and anyway where would you start?

Too thrifty to buy a $199 Nexus 4, or even a $99 Lumia 520? BLU Products has you covered with three new smartphones in its Dash range. The line starts with the Dash Jr., a 3.5-inch dual-SIM phone that costs just $49 unlocked — cheap enough that we (almost) don’t mind its single-core Spreadtrum processor, 2G-only data, 2-megapixel camera and Android 2.3. If you can afford to splurge, the Dash Music 4.0 ($99) and Dash 5.0 ($129) jump to their namesake larger screens, 3G data, dual-core MediaTek chips, higher-resolution cameras and Android 4.2. BLU expects all three Dash handsets to ship before the end of September, so penny pinchers won’t have long to wait. Check out press shots of the Dash Music 4.0 and Dash 5.0 after the break.
