But for a huge Star Wars fan with some money to spend, there are some unique items here that will give you a lifetime of connection to a fantastic movie and film franchise.

Star Wars Rogue One Death Trooper Helmet Replica

This awesome Death Trooper Helmet Prop Replica is only going to be available on July 31, 2017, but I recommend ordering it as soon as possible, because I have a feeling it’ll run out of stock very quickly.

Rogue One Star Wars Figurines (Chirrut Imwe, Baze Malbus)

Awesome porcelaine Star Wars figurines approved by Lucasfilm. In this case, it’s the dynamic duo of Baze Malbus and Chirrut Imwe, the coolest dudes in Rogue one.

Star Wars Rogue One AT-ACT Toy

Rogue One gave us the ultra cool AT walkers after a long hiatus from the feature Star Wars film. This is awesome toy that includes NERF darts, and also Jyn Erso is you feel like using someone to sabotage it all.

Star Wars Rogue One Death Trooper Massive Figure

If you’re a massive fan of the Death Troopers in Rogue One, this massive 31-inch figure will make you a very happy Star Wars groupie, with a classier home as well.

9 Beautiful Star Wars Puzzle Sets

Posted on 05/12/2016 by laurentiu vladoiu

A great gift for a geek of any age, these puzzles are all inspired by the popular science fiction franchise and, even if they range a lot when it comes to difficulty, they all have in common the fact of being awesome.

Puzzles are amazing as presents because they are challenging and once you get one done you can have a great picture adorning one of the rooms so it’s a double win in our book.

The choice of puzzles is really large but we consider these ones to stand out from the rest through the great images, materials or just through the tasteful way in which they recreate the wonderful Star Wars universe. Challenge your friends, offer them a treat they will enjoy or simply get one for yourself to add more Star Wars flavor to your life!

C 3PO and R2 D2 Jigsaw Bigjigs Puzzle

If this seems like a really difficult one to solve (with 1000 pieces) you don’t know the half of it and even if it comes with a poster that helps you in the process it will still take quite a long time to finish. The photomosaic will bring you back to some of the most memorable scenes from the Star Wars movies and in the end you will have an impressive image with the droids everyone’s looking for. If you like a good challenge or want to test a friend’s wits then this is one of the best choices you can get due to the great materials and amazing price.

Star Wars Funko Pop Puzzle

The FUNKO Star Wars puzzle has a completed size of 19 x 26 inch and brings together all the important characters in a single group picture of the figurines. The big headed models make it quite amusing and the puzzle is a really good gift for younger children although it can be quite a challenge to put together in the first place.

Ravensburger Star Wars Episode I-VI a New Hope Jigsaw Puzzle

As one of the most appreciated puzzle company in the world, Ravensburger stands out through the quality of their products and through the great images they choose. This one is a classic image from the first Star Wars trilogy and it will certainly look good in the room of any Star Wars fan. With 500 pieces, this puzzle isn’t as difficult as some of the others presented here and thus it makes a great gift for anyone with ages 10+.

Star Wars The Legacy Puzzle 5000 Professional Premium

If a 500 piece puzzle is too easy for a puzzle expert, then one that is ten times larger might do the trick. The completed size is of 153 x 101 cm so it can take up a whole wall, making it the central attraction of a room. The designers had this in mind and thus they made the pieces with a linen-paper finish to ensure no glare. The illustration itself brings together the entire story of the first six episodes in a picture filled with nostalgia that will bring many memories each time you take a glance at it.

Handmade Wooden Jigsaw Puzzle – Star Wars – A New Hope

With the classic A New Hope print that we all love so much, this puzzle stands out through the hand crafted wooden pieces that will provide you with the best quality you can get. The picture is actually just an indication since you can get any picture made into a puzzle and since the quality is so high then this is perfect for a gift. One thing to keep in mind though is to make sure you order it in time since it will take two weeks or so to be created.

Star Wars Episode 7 R2-D2, C-3PO and BB-8

Episode seven brought a new droid to the saga, transforming the dynamic duo into a trio and since everyone loves them this is one of the best images you can choose for a fan of Star Wars. The jigsaw puzzle has 1000 pieces and is difficult enough to pose a challenge without edging on the impossible so you can offer this to anyone over 10 years old.

Metal Earth Star Wars TIE Fighter 3D Metal Model Kit

This isn’t a typical puzzle, since once you assemble it you get a figurine of a TIE Fighter, but it is certainly awesome and the models are highly detailed. The iconic starfighter of the Galactic Empire, this one has a size of 2.6×2.4×2.9 inches so it will be easy do display in any room. You don’t need glue or other things to make the pieces stick together and the instructions are easy to follow but the small parts make it recommended for ages 14 or above only so keep that in mind.

Ravensburger Star Wars Episode I-VI Saga Puzzle

At 2000 pieces, this is certainly going to test the skill of the person who assembles it and just as with the previous puzzles they offer, Ravensburger prove to be the best choice. The Star Wars theme is really epic and you get a sort of group picture with the space battles in the background. A wonderful gift for anyone who enjoys Star Wars and a challenging puzzle for those who want to test their skill.

Star Wars Crystal Puzzle 60 Pieces

This isn’t a typical puzzle since it is 3D and instead of being made of jigsaw pieces it comes with crystal parts that you have to assemble together to have a statue of Darth Vader. You get a pedestal as well and in the end the bust will have a 13 cm height. It’s easier to assemble than a typical puzzle and the pieces are large so you can give this to a small child (three years or more according to the manufacturer) making it great for anyone who loves Star Wars!

10 LED Lightsabers For Star Wars Fans

Posted on 13/12/2015 by Federico Lo Giudice

Star Wars’ most iconic weapon, the Lightsaber has come and gone in many shapes and forms as a collectible, but we’re partial to LED Lighstabers. See some really clever depictions in this story!

Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens is dropping really soon, so the Star Wars hype is through the roof. If you want to be the coolest guy or gal at the movie theater once it finally launches, you might as well be carrying some props, and this is where the LED Lightsabers in this story fit it. These aren’t necessarily toy lightsabers, but actual LED tubes that light up in some of the most iconic colors from the movies. Be careful, though, they’re kind of frail and more for show than for deflecting lasers and piercing Storm Troopers!

The Menace CE Lightsaber

The LED lightsaber depicted here is one of the most elegant creations we have seen around the web. This Star Wars Lightsaber replica features an exquisite craftmanship at the hilt, with several details taken straight from the movies. This model is inspired by Darth Maul’s Lightsaber and hence features its characteristic organe glow of the Dark Side. If you feel closer to the Sith than the Jedi, this is the Lightsaber for you.

REBORN DT Custom LED Saber from KOTOR

The Star Wars expanded universe is surprisingly huge, deep and full of lore to explore. One of the best adventures outside the main movies comes straight from the Knights of the Old Republic video game series, and it’s main character Revan’s light saber who inspired this amazing custom design. Because Revan can have any alignment the player desires (Light Side, Dark Side or kind of neutral), this custom saber can switch colors and offer alternatives for the user.

The Azure Omen: A Thundercats Themed Lightsaber

We absolutely love franchise crossing, and when we first saw this amazing design that mixed both the iconic lightsabers from the Star Wars movies with Lion-O’s Sword of Omens from Thundercats, we decided we had to share it with everyone. The Azure Omen is both a playful tribute and an incredibly cool custom made sword that lights up, features the Thundercats logo and reuses the iconic hilt design from the hit cartoon show from the 80s.

Maxx Action Galactic Series Photon Sabers

The Maxx Action Galactic Series Photon Sabers is a very vanilla alternative for those who would rather get the more traditional designs. This is a very cheap alternative for a quick costume, and although it’s completely made out of plastic, it is extremely cheap, and still ights up and features the characteristic sound effect that accompanies each swing that can be activated with the press of a button.

Star Wars Anakin to Darth Vader Lightsaber

Here is a really cool concept for those who love the old trilogy as much as the prequels and consider the transition of Anakin Skywalker to Darth Vader one of the most important stories ever told in the geek world. This LED Lightsaber‘s special trait is that, depending on the wearer’s alignment and preference, it can change colors with the flick of a switch. Now you get to pick whether you prefer to side with the light side or dark side on the spot, which is particularly neat if you are into cosplay.

Star Wars Force FX Lightsabers

This is the real deal. As Obi-Wan Kenobi put it in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, this is an elegant weapon for a more civilized age. With some 30 years of movie history the Lightsabers have become one of the most recognizable weapons in the geek world, and the Star Wars Force FX Lightsaber is one of the few officially licensed versions of it. You get to pick between the blue or green versions, which come with “Force FX”, that is, the capability of accurately reproducing the light and sound effects from the films.

Bladebuilders Star Wars Episode 7 Jedi Master Lightsaber

The Bladebuilders Star Wars Episode 7 Jedi Master Lightsaber is a Padawan’s dream come true. Although more on the toy lightsaber end of the spectrum, this set will allow anyone to build their own custom lightsaber featuring as many or as little “blades” as they want, with interchangeable colors and everything. It’s not only a Jedi weapon, but a tool for self-expression too.

Light Up Laser Lightsaber Sabre Sword 29″ (3 PACK)

This is very straight-forward. What you see here is a Light Up Laser Lightsaber Sabre Sword 29″ 3 pack that features one lightsaber of each color: green, blue, and red. The size is particularly cool, as it’s long enough so it can also be a prop for adults.

Star Wars Ezra Bridger Lightsaber Blaster

This beauty was inspired by Ezra Bridger’s iconic weapon from the Star Wars Rebels TV Show, and is meant for children who like the show. The Star Wars Ezra Bridger Lightsaber Blaster features a blade that extends with a switch, which is fantastic for play, and is quite cheap at only $34.99 – this would definitely make a fantastic Christmas present for the young Padawan in the family.

Custom Star Wars Rebels Kanan Jarrus Lightsaber

The blade you see here is inspired by former Padawan and order 66 survivor Kanan Jarrus, from the Star Wars Rebels TV show. This lightsaber is made from Aircraft Grade Aluminum and is 13″ Long. It comes with a super bright Luxeon LED, and whoever buys it gets to pick the color (either red, blue, green or white. It runs on 2 AAA Batteries and fits any 1″ Diameter Blade.

5 Coolest Star Wars Episode VII Funko Pop! Bobbleheads

Posted on 17/09/2015 by Federico Lo Giudice

Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens is due to hit theaters by the end of year, and there are several characters that are already part of the public consciousness. That being the case, of course they were going to get their own Funko Pop! Bobbleheads before the movie even got here. These are some of our favorite new figurines that will get you ready for when the new Star Wars movies finally do roll out – and we’re all about new faces, so don’t expect to see C3P-O, Chewie and R2-D2 in this one list!

Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens Kylo Ren Pop! Bobble Head

Of course we were going to start the list featuring Kylo, a mysterious new character who sports an unconventional light saber. We really do hope he fares better than Darth Maul because the costume design and sword look amazing. Get it here or here.

Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens BB-8 Pop! Bobble Head

We’re sorry, but “BB” doesn’t stand for BlackBerry anymore. The movie isn’t even out and we’re already in love with the cute spherical droid featured in the trailers and promotional art. Just look at him/her and tell us it’s not adorable. Buy it here or here.

Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens Captain Phasma Pop! Bobble Head

Another new character, Captain Phasma’s Storm Trooper armor looks absolutely amazing in grey and we can’t wait to see what the deal with him is the new movies. Buy the figurine here or here.

Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens Rey Pop! Bobble Head

Rey sort of reminds us of the very first glimpse we got of Luke Skywalker back in Tatooine, in Episode IV, except she looks much more badass and like a true survivor. We don’t know anything about her role in the upcoming movies, but we’re sort of expecting her to become a fan favorite. Get the figurine here or here.

Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens Poe Dameron Pop! Bobble Head

Poe Dameron is an X-Wing pilot who by the time of Episode VII has made himself a reputation as the greatest in the galaxy! We’re sure he’s good, but can he do the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs? Can he fit a missile through the Death Star’s thermal exhaust point? We’ll see. Get the figuine here or here.
