Increasingly, studios are releasing popular nerd movies on USB drives in an attempt to sucker collectors into spending extra cash. If you are one of those collectors, this 4GB, individually numbered, Autobot shield USB comes loaded with the Transformers sequel. It’s playable on up to five devices and it’s burnable to DVD.
Remember that scene in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull where Indiana Jones survives a nuclear blast by hiding in a fridge? Well now you can commemorate that horrible piece of cinematic history by spending $175 on a 12-inch action figure. A gallery of images is available after the break.

It’s outrageously expensive, but your $900 investment will buy you what the manufacturer considers to be “the most accurate replica ever produced.” Yeah, they lost me at $900. Still, this M14A was meticulously crafted using an existing Pulse Rifle from the movie as a model. It also features a moving grenade launcher pump, retractable stock and a light up LED counter that displays “95″ when the magazine is inserted. Apparently, only 250 pieces were produced worldwide—precisely the amount of people on this planet willing to spend this much money on an elaborate toy gun. So get it while you can. Additional images are available after the break.
Take a regular knife and print Terminator Salvation on the blade and you have yourself a collectible! The movie may have fallen short, but that doesn’t mean the studio isn’t going to bleed every last dime out of it. Also available in a silver finish.

Additional characters will surely follow in future releases.

I don’t quite understand the point behind a Transformers 1/9th scale bike model, but it exists nonetheless. I suppose when you have a major summer blockbuster action movie on deck, it is crucial that you capture the all important bike enthusiast demographic if you want to win at the box office. The Decepticon version is pictured after the break.
The Exorcist Regan Spider Walk Figure was great, but even that cannot compare to the new possesed Regan boxed set. With the push of a button you can activate her 360-degree spinning head along with demonic sounds from the film.

The success of the Star Wars films made R2-D2 rich and famous, but with great wealth comes great temptation—and R2 indulged every chance he got. He muddled through the last three films, usually high on crack. When the money dried up he supported his addiction by selling himself on the streets. Broke and busted, he has been reduced to working as a side table in your living room. Hollywood claims yet another victim. Tragic. Additional images are available after the break.
