The table looks pretty cool. Not worth the money though. The toothbrush idea was kind of useless. Too much time on people's hands.:lol:

You must not have had toys as a child lol. :lol::lol:
The table is pretty cool with the frosted white top. It's more of a regular table look. They have a dining room version too. The kits are a FAR cheaper way to go if you can build your own table. The main bulk of the cost is the motion sensing. You can do an on/off LED setup far cheaper.
Also, please feel free to post your own geek toys!!

I'm planning on getting one of those. Got a gift certificate at one of those technology gadget stores and a mini RC chopper's really the only "useful" gadget I've been able to find. :D

I have one of the choppers. Let me tell you....they are HARD to fly. At least mine is. I got it at thinkgeek. I'll admit, I haven't put a whole lot of effort into mastering it though. :rolleyes:

I have seen Apache radio controlled helipcopters. One of those would be cool.

Web-cam Missile Launcher
There are sound effects, such as a missile whooshing noise and a warning siren. You can also hook up to your MSN and anyone on your MSN list, be they in the same building or the other side of the world, can control and fire your missile launch.You could even hook it up to your machine at home, log into your MSN at work, and if anyone comes near your machine you can scare the bejesus out of them by remotely zapping them with a missile.

ThinkGeek has been keen to the recent trends of micro-sizing in the R/C world. That's when we realized the industry had it all wrong. This larger-than-life-size remote control car is the World's Largest remote controlled car on the market! At a model scale of 1.1:1 these cars are just slightly larger than most consumer vehicles on the road, yet are still maneuverable enough to drive on standard streets. With a battery life of almost seven minutes and a top speed of 18 mph, these cars are sure to provide hours of entertainment (in seven minute increments!).
Price:$10,999
