Great Scott! (Could I really open this any other way?) Doc Brown's tinkering can now be a part of your own car or home office decor with Diamond Select Toy's Back to the Future prop replica of the iconic time machine actuator. Created to spec from the original featured in the film, it has LED's inside and directions created from old-school punch labels outside. The Unlimited Edition Flux Capacitor is available on December 16th of this year for about $220

Fans of H.R. Giger's acid-blood-fueled space nightmare will adore this miniature USB alien that plugs into your computer or laptop of choice. It's got fantastic detailing from its shiny cylindrical cranium to its bony claws, but the real fun starts when it gets warmed up and randomly shoots its inner mandible out like its full-sized cousins. Its mouth also lights up an angry red — nice touch, no? The Aliens USB will be available in mid-December and costs 3,990 yen (about $45).

There comes a time when every Star Wars obsessed fan has to put up or shut up. It's just not enough to have custom curio cabinets stuffed with oodles of high-end collectibles or to own complete action figure sets all the way back to the Keener days (NRFB, of course). Not when you can actually become a Jedi. Wannabe Padawans can put on a wireless headset that allows them to focus their brainwaves at a tube with a Jedi-approved ball inside, which will actually rise and fall based on the trainee's sheer will. Wookie's honor, we kid you not. This contraption will read your brainwaves and provide 15 Jedi training exercises to prove your Midi-chlorine worth. The Force Trainer retails for a buck shy of $100.
