Arm yourself like a Stark! Valyrian Steel has developed a line of officially licensed swords and hammer based on weaponry described in A Game of Thrones (the book, not the television series). From left to right in the above image, you can order Arya Stark’s Needle, Jon Snow’s Longclaw, Eddard Stark’s Ice, or Robert Baratheon’s Warhammer. Each replica was designed based on detailed notes and descriptions from George R.R. Martin. They’re made with high quality metal and craftsmanship. Still, you shouldn’t try to stick someone with the pointy end.
Product Pages – Needle ($190), Longclaw ($600), Ice ($270), and Warhammer ($270)
Talented artist Harrison Krix puts his skills to good use. This time he’s made a replica of the Gravity Gun seen in Half-Life 2. As with his other projects, like this Portal gun replica and Mass Effect M8 Avenger Assault Rifle, the attention to detail is meticulous. The finish has just the right amount of grunge, and of course, it lights up. You can bid on this replica weapon for charity – details here.

Ever since an ex-boyfriend clued me into the fact that TIE fighters have no shields, I’ve been fascinated with them and the pilots who fly them.
So, in my eyes, this new Star Wars Episode IV Imperial TIE Fighter Replica from Efx is definitely in the WANT column.

From Fashionably Geek: There have been other takes on the Batman Utility Belt in the past, but few are as finely crafted as this version from JLA. Unfortunately, there are no grappling hooks or bat-shaped throwing stars in those leather pouches, which makes it hard to justify spending $280 on. Plus, they claim that it is only “a prop replica only and not meant to be worn.” Please—if I’m spending that much on a belt, I’m going to wear it even in the most inappropriate situations. Situations like: with a suit at work, or when I’m naked and ready for some sexy time with my lady. When she protests, I will simply say: “I’m the Batman.”
