Kymera Magic Wand Remote
With a flick of the wrist and a wave of the wand, change the channel or adjust the volume of your TV set. The Kymera Magic Wand remote, available now from ThinkGeek, puts the power in your hands. You may not be able to disarm an opponent with this 14-inch wand, but you can program up to 13 functions from your existing remotes and map them to specific motions. Swish the remote side to side to change the channel; twist the wand to adjust the volume. Compatible with most electronics remotes, you can program functions for your TV, DVR, and more by simply performing the gesture and then beaming the remote at the tip of the remote.
Although Kymera Magic Wand remote does not use phoenix feathers or unicorn hairs to work its magic, neither does it use boring buttons to let you control your TV and stereo. And that is pretty cool.
Available from ThinkGeek and other retailers. Retail price $89.99

ThinkGeek Star Wars Tauntaun Sleeping Bag
Last month when we told you about ThinkGeek’s upcoming Tauntaun sleeping bag release, you couldn’t order it yet. Well, now you can. ThinkGeek is taking pre-orders (limited two, please) on their web site for the $100 bag. They are promising delivery by November 30th for those that order now.
The sleeping bag, in the form of dead Tauntaun from Star Wars Episode 5 (aka The Empire Strikes Back), started as a simple April Fool’s joke on the ThinkGeek website. The resulting fan demand for a real product prompted the twisted minds at ThinkGeek to make it happen (with the blessing of Lucasfilm, of course). So for those that prefer the warmth of a Tauntaun carcass over a Snuggie, step on up and place your order.
Available for pre-order from ThinkGeek. Retail price $99.99
Update: The StarWarsShop is also offering these sleeping bags for pre-order.

Star Wars Laser Pointers
While not quite a true laser sword, these laser pointers shaped like Star Wars lightsabers are still pretty cool. One-third scale versions of the lightsaber hilts carried by Darth Maul and Darth Vader, they are also functional red-dot laser pointers. Available from ThinkGeek, these pointers retail for $15 each.
In the classroom or the boardroom, laser pointers are useful tools (like lightsabers, except without the whole slicing and dicing thing). And if you’re going to use a laser pointer, you might as well use one with some style.
Available from ThinkGeek. Retail price $14.99
