What Battle Droids and the rest of those figures are doing in an Ewok village, I have no idea, but they didn’t make it out safely before they turned to metal. It’s a one of a kind piece, that’s for sure. It comes from Etsy seller 88MilesPerHour.

Invasion of the Speaker Daleks: REVERBERATE! REVERBERATE!

This Dalek was caught invading CES 2014. He was not built on Skaro however, but by car audio company Massive Audio for display at their CES booth. I bet he caught tons of attention. It is actually a giant speaker. But still. Kill it now!

speaker dalek 620x826magnify

This Dalek measures six feet-tall and was built using 32 woofers on the bottom, a big subwoofer in the head and 5,000 watts of amplifiers. Yes, that is a powerful Dalek indeed. He plays music streamed through your smartphone or tablet. The whole creation weighs 926 pounds and cost $25,000 to make. It will be auctioned off on eBay for the BBC’s children’s charity sometime this summer, so you can potentially own this guy.

Now all we need is for the Cybermen to show up with some tweeters in their helmets.

This Infographic Teaches You to Build a Lightsaber

Silly me. I’ve been waiting all my life for a Jedi Master to show up and teach me how to build a lightsaber. Turns out all I needed was this infographic from electronics supplier Newark. Well, it will build you a lightsaber replica, not an actual lightsaber, but it is still awesome.

It just takes a few basic tools and pieces of hardware. Before you know it, you will be swinging away in a saber battle. This is a great way for people who are just getting started with projects like this to build something really cool.

Doctor Who TARDIS Shower Rack Helps Whooligans Get Clean

The shower rack is one of those great inventions that give you a place to put all your shampoo and soap in the shower so you don’t have to worry about crushing your toes while your eyes are covered in soap. Not all shower racks are created equal though. This TARDIS shower rack is clearly head and shoulders above the rest.

The TARDIS shower rack is in the familiar police box blue color and has other touches that will make you feel like you are a showering Time Lord.

The two cubbies in the lower section are removable. If you are wondering why you might want to remove those lower cubbies, it’s because by taking them out you can stand tall bottles on the bottom rack. Say, doesn’t that make it bigger on the inside?

You can buy your own TARDIS shower rack for $44.99(USD) at ThinkGeek.

TARDIS Themed Awesome Box is Awesomer on the Inside

The Public Library of Brookline, Massachusetts recently built themselves an Awesome Box. The box is called the Awesome Box because it is full of awesome book suggestions.

All the book titles dropped off inside the Awesome Box are compiled and posted online to help other readers who are looking for some great books to read. To make the Awesome Box a bit more awesome, the library peeps painted it to look like Doctor Who’s TARDIS. The library workers were inspired by the 50th anniversary of the classic BBC sci-fi series.

The box also has a quote from The Doctor on the side that is very fitting for a library: “You want weapons? We’re in a library! Books! The best weapons in the world!… The Greatest arsenal we could have. Arm Yourselves!”

You may or may not know that a new animated Star Wars series is coming called Star Wars Rebels. Along with the new series come a new bad guy called The Inquisitor. Of course, you can be sure some new action figures are coming along with the series.

Hasbro is offering a peek at The Inquisitor action figure, and he looks quite menacing with his double-ended lightsaber. The toy will fit into the Hasbro Star Wars Rebels Saga Legends line. The action figure is 3.75 inches-tall and features five points of articulation.

The toys aren’t set to hit stores until this fall. A number of other action figures are expected to debut when the Toy Fair comes to New York this February. I wonder if these will be affordable action figures or the more expensive sort aimed at collectors.
