Star Wars Condoms  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Star Wars    Posted date:  May 17, 2012  |  No comment



[$TBA] Sometimes you want to make a baby. Other times, you just want to stumble around a dark room waving your lightsaber wildly in search of, um, the dark side of the force? This metaphor fell apart pretty quick, but the point is: Star Wars Condoms!!! (more…)

Battle Damage T-Shirt  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Star Wars    Posted date:  January 9, 2012  |  No comment



[$15] Sure, we all cheered when Luke took down an AT-AT in The Empire Strikes Back, but when you see the aftermath of his actions in this Battle Damage T-Shirt, you get the feeling Luke was kind of an a-hole. Like honestly, brah, way to hurt an innocent giant walking thing. (more…)

Star Wars: The Blueprints  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Star Wars    Posted date:  September 12, 2011  |  No comment



[Splurge: $500 - $1,000] Our readers know we like to keep it affordable, but this item is just too good to pass up: Star Wars: The Blueprints is at the height of nerd relics, featuring literally hundreds of original drawings and blue prints from the famed movies. Since their rediscovery in an old Lucasfilm Archive, Epic Ink has painstakingly assembled some of the most incredible artwork imaginable, from the original drawings of Jabba’s palace to the design of a Star Destroyer. (more…)

The Blaster T-Shirt  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Star Wars    Posted date:  August 30, 2011  |  No comment



[$19] For those readers who aren’t total nerds, probably best to stop reading here. For those who are, this Blaster Diagram T-shirt features an exploded view of Han Solo’s famous pistol, but with all the parts renamed to pay homage to other great sci-fi flicks. Splooge. (more…)

Special Edition Star Wars Xbox 360 Slim  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Game Time, Star Wars    Posted date:  July 22, 2011  |  No comment



[$450] The hardcore nerd in me just hardcore sh*t my pants. Yes, that is an Xbox 360, and yes, it is painted up like R2-D2, and yes, you can buy one this winter. The Star Wars Xbox comes with a Kinect motion sensor to match, a C3PO themed controller, and a Star Wars game that 10-year-olds will probably love and the rest of us probably wont. Follow the link for more images and ordering info. (more…)

Darth Vader Silver Plated Lego Cufflinks  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Cufflinks, Darth Vader, Star Wars    Posted date:  July 15, 2011  |  No comment



[$25] As young men, we don’t typically use cufflinks because frankly we can’t afford to buy the quality of shirt that requires them. (Or maybe we can but we’d rather spend our cash on whiskey and strippers.) Well after finding these Darth Vader Lego Cufflinks, it might just be time to pony up some dough for a few expensive button-downs. (more…)

Star Wars Gangsta Prints  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Darth Vader, Star Wars    Posted date:  May 26, 2011  |  No comment



[$25] Let’s face it: chances are you’re an uncultured neanderthal that couldn’t tell the difference between fine art and a can of Bud Light. Well, we’re totally cool with that because neither can we. Which is probably why we fell in love the first time an image of Jabba in a pimp hat appeared on our monitors. While they might not qualify as high art, such as esteemed paintings like The Madonna in Heat (that’s a painting, right?), the Star Wars Gangsta Prints are totally great in every way. (more…)

Trap: Ackbar 2012  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Shirt, Star Wars    Posted date:  April 12, 2011  |  No comment



[$19] “Hope” might have been a good slogan in 2008, but “Trap” is way more 2011. And also way more meme-ish. While it may not be a Shepard Fairey original, the Admiral Ackbar Trap shirt is equally badass. (more…)

Star Wars Blu-ray Edition  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Blu-ray, Darth Vader, Star Wars    Posted date:  March 30, 2011  |  No comment



[$70 - $140] With each new(ish) generation of media formatting we’ve come to expect another re-re-release of Star Wars in all its light-sabery greatness. On September 16, 2011, Blu-ray will be no exception. The complete Star Wars saga is available for preorder now, complete with, you guessed it, extra content. (more…)

Star Wars Plush… WITH SOUND!  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Darth Vader, Star Wars    Posted date:  March 16, 2011  |  No comment



[$9-$40] I know, I know- Star Wars is kind of nerdy, and you’re way too old for plush toys… but just look at these things! They’re f*ckin’ great! And they talk! (more…)

Do the Darth Dance  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Darth Vader, Shirt, Star Wars    Posted date:  January 25, 2011  |  No comment



[$22] Darth Vader is a man of many talents- he’s a scratch pilot, a conqueror of worlds, and a choker of many an incompetent officer. He’s also a damned fine dancer, just barely losing out to John Travolta for the lead role in Saturday Night Fever. (more…)
