We all remember how the tauntaun sleeping bag became reality only after an April fools day that got under the pale skin of thinkgeek consumers. Some of us also remember how that same tauntaun sleeping bag was eventually seduced by a member of the band GWAR under the very thinkgeek roof no less.
So what do you think, do any of these have what it takes to be forced into production?

Some of those would not really be feasible, but there's no reason they couldn't really make the "COMPUTER OVERLORDS" shirts.

I freakin love thinkgeek. I now have two new star wars ice cream jingle mp3s!
Dobbie, what are you talking about? How difficult could that nether portal really be?

I didn't see that one. I was thinking mainly of the light saber popsicle.

As someone who grew up with Playmobil, loves her Mac, but is a little uncomfortable with Apple's unsubtle marketing strategy, the Playmobil Apple Store is made of WIN.
ETA. I might own a Tauntaun sleeping bag.

The lightsaber popsicle is completely workable provided two things can be done:
1, The lightup electronics are made both cold and water resistant.
2. The height of the inside of a standard freezer is respected. Sadly this means that pops are going to come out way shorter than hoped, or the freezing can be done completely horizonal, which is not a feature of most make-your-own pops devicees.
The idea that having mock sword fights with increasingly sticky things people lick is maybe not the smartest will be left to the consumers' own discovery.
As much as I love ThinkGeek, it hasn't escaped my notice that there are no product reviews on this site and probably shouldn't be.
