I know Luke took out a few of these on Hoth, but this is one that even he’d think twice about attacking. I mean, it has glowy lights and stuff so it’s clearly much cooler. This casemod is actually a Hasbro AT-AT with a Zotax Z68 Mini ITX mobo with an Intel Core i7-2600K CPU, a Sapphire 6870 GPU and 8GB of RAM stuffed inside. I’m going to be honest, I’m not really a spec geek so I have absolutely no idea what that means, but it’s a PC that looks like an AT-AT and it’s awesome!

You probably didn’t need another reason to attend Comic-Con in San Diego this year, but the fact of the matter is that it’s the only place (outside of eBay most likely) that you’ll be able to get your hands on one of these Jar Jar Binks figures froze in carbonite from Hasbro.
As most hardcore Star Wars fans would guess, this figure is based on the life-size version that resides at Lucasfilm.

Marvel’s Thor is hitting theaters everywhere tomorrow, and to celebrate Nerd Approved is giving away a box that is filled to the brim with new toys from Hasbro.
Seriously, I was tempted to just put on the Thor helmet and grab the electronic Lightning Hammer from this box and play with the action figures until my wife divorced me (which probably wouldn’t have taken long) but, instead, I am passing the joy onto you, our beloved readers.
As I mentioned you’ll get a Thor mask and the electronic Lightning Hammer, but you’ll also get three action figures: Sword Spike Thor, Lightning Clash Thor and the Invasion Frost Giant inside a fancy Thor box.
