As promised last month, official Back to the Future Hoverboard replicas from Mattel are now available for pre-order. The board is a 1:1 replica of the film version right down to the smallest detail (except for that whole hovering thing). It even features various “whooshing” sounds sampled from the movie.
Even if the board doesn’t hover, it’s not a bad deal for $120—especially since each board will come with a version scaled for 6-inch action figures.
Keep in mind that because of the high cost of production, Mattel must receive a minimum number of orders between now and March 20th in order to ship. Customers won’t be charged if the quota isn’t met, but not getting a board would be truly tragic. So pitch in and order while you can.

Over the course of several months, ThinkGeek product designer Willy Yonkers created this life-size replica of a Portal Turret using mostly in-game screenshots for reference. The 48″ Turret required 200 hours of build time and several hundred dollars worth of materials.
The most exciting part about this project is the fact that Yonkers has posted instructions for anyone who would like to try their hand at building a replica of their own. Click the link below to check them out.

From the product description:
Penned by legendary comic book artist Joe Madureira, Darksiders is set in a Post-Apocalyptic, demon-ravaged world where the forces of evil have prematurely brought about the end of the world. Tricked into bringing about the apocalypse early, War is stripped of his powers and cast down to Earth to clear his name. Darksiders follows his epic quest of vengeance and redemption which pits him against both the forces of heaven and hell. United Cutlery has matched as closely as possible every detail of War’s sword Chaoseater, right down to the faces sculpted into the blade and the fine, battle-worn nicks and dents. Each steel-reinforced, cold-cast replica features a hand-polished alloy blade surface, with hand-painted and weathered surface details. The grip is wrapped in high-grade genuine leather. Included is a custom wall display. Overall, the sword measures 46 1/2′ long.
