What do an Imperial Walker and a vinyl record have in common? They can be put together to make a clock. It’s so obvious!
Okay, maybe not, but the end result is neat. This clock is hand cut from a random record and made to order. If you like the Star Wars vehicle without the clock parts you can just order the wall decoration version.

I had no idea Star Wars vehicles could look so classy. This timekeeper manages to clock in at 11 on the nerdy scale and look like a piece of sleek, subtle art. The Etsy seller fashions the clocks from vintage Action Fleet Micro Machine toys. That line featured the Falcon, a sandcrawler, an AT-AT, and more (as you can see above). The pieces are plastic and lightweight but painted to look like pewter. Genius. Customization takes 9-14 days.

When it comes to getting up early, I’ve always been a Padawan. I think I always will be. Alarms just make me angry. This new Star Wars design is clever though; it’s meant to be thrown. The design replicates a Jedi training remote (just like Obi-Wan used to train Luke on the Millennium Falcon) and is made from foam rubber. To turn it off, toss it hard against the wall. I suggest adding a target to your wall for more fun.
The alarm should be available in April or May, but you can pre-order it now.

This double barrel .45 caliber AF2011-A1 pistol was designed by Arsenal Firearms to commemorate John Moses Browning’s model 1911.
The AF2011-A1 Double Barrel Pistol comes actually as the very first industrial double barrel semiautomatic pistol of all times. The original idea came about ten years back to Swiss armourer Vivian Mueller, who at the time experienced cutting and welding together multiple parts of the famous Sig P210: the result was a long slide, double barrel 9mm, highly decorated collector piece, which indeed shot very well. Our idea took the challenge further: to commemorate the legendary Colt 1911-A1 in the Centenary by making a true industrial market-ready double barrel .45 caliber pistol. We achieved success in the brief span of 6 months, after intense and round-the-clock 3D designing, stereolithographic modeling and parts machining. The gun can be handled by any shooter able to shoot with a .45 Acp and it is not only very pleasing, but very accurate and great fun.
Indeed, this gun is completely absurd in a very alluring way. Now all we need is a bayonet mount.

DeviantART member batman-n-bananas created this steampunk Portal gun using (among other things) parts from an antique clock, hangers, plumbing parts, a plant pot, various lids, plastic tub, a pocket laser disc, lightbulbs, metal covering from an old hairbrush and copious amounts of glue. Somehow he managed to pull all of it together to create the awesomeness you see here.

The latest Super Soaker from Nerf is going to make hot days a lot more entertaining. Their Lightning Storm model was released at Toy Fair and holds a whopping 35 ounces of liquid. That reservoir clocks in at the largest yet. You can shoot opponents from as far away as 25 feet. It will be ready for attack in spring of this year.
