True, hovercraft have never really caught on as transportation vehicles, but you have to admit that the Hover Q, a tiny remote control hovercraft by our friends at Brando is so very awesome. The use...

This isn't the first time we have reported on ThinkGeek products, and that is because we simply cannot resist. Especially now, as they are selling the Micro R/C 4-Channel Flying saucer. The palm...

Some of you may have fond memories of a toy that Hasbro put out over twenty years ago called the Lite Brite. The now famous toy uses little pegs that are put on a board, and then illuminated by an ord...

I am a big fan of the Nintendo Wii, but I have missed out on the DS. If I did own a DS, I would definitely love to have the lightsaber Stylus. There is a 3-pack that costs about $7.99 that will inc...

I would hope that all of our readers had a Big Wheel growing up. I remember how I used to ride that three-wheeled contraption in my backyard for hours. I was not fortunate enough to own the Green Mac...

It seems like everything makes a comeback eventually. For example, those weird Coke Cans, "Boppin Flowers", and other nifty devices that would move to the beat of your music. Well, these d...
