R2-D2 USB Humidifier
Winter got you feeling a little dry and unhappy? Perhaps the R2-D2 USB humidifier will help moisten and brighten your day. We mentioned this little gadget a few months ago, and now ThinkGeek is offering the trusty droid for about $20. The USB-powered desktop humidifier holds just a few ounces of water, so this won’t fill the whole house or office. But hey, why would you want to share? Pop his top, add water, plug him into your computer, and enjoy the misty goodness.
Available from ThinkGeek and other retailers. Retail price $19.99

Star Wars collectors, rejoice! Hasbro has been working on a new and improved version of the classic AT-AT toy, scaled to work with the current set of 3 3/4 inch action figures. In a Toy Fair 2010 press release issued today, they revealed some great details on what to expect when it hits shelves in August this year:
STAR WARS AT-AT
In space, size does matter, and Hasbro certainly kept that in mind when creating its all-new, highly detailed STAR WARS AT-AT. The AT-AT (All Terrain Armored Transport) played a significant role in the Empire’s military assault in THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, and it will play an equally important role in every fan’s toy collection this year! Measuring more than 24 inches tall, nearly 28 inches long, and 12 inches wide, this colossal vehicle holds up to 20 STAR WARS figures – 6 of which can fit in its head alone! – and includes so many play and electronic features true to its on-screen counterpart that it’s hard to believe! From the zip-line in its body and articulated legs for superb poseability, to its LED lights and authentic movie sounds and phrases, this is the must-have addition for STAR WARS fans of all ages. Includes a 3 ¾ inch AT-AT driver action figure and a pop-out speeder bike.
(Approximate Retail Value: $99.99; Ages: 5 & up; Available: August 1, 2010)

Sometimes it is awfully hard to avoid the seductive call of the dark side of the force, especially when cookies are involved. You know the kind, triple-chocolate with dark chocolate morsels. Mmm, cookies. Anyway, there is no better way to whip up a batch of dark side goodness than with the new kitchen apron from ThinkGeek featuring the simple invitation: “Come to the dark side. We have cookies -V”. The apron itself is a very slimming black with white lettering, about 30-inches long (not including the adjustable neck strap), 20-inches wide, and with two open-top pockets. Being bad never felt so good.
Available from ThinkGeek. Retail price $19.99
