In this thread, post cool, neat, awesome, cheap stuff that you think other people might want!

And here's the item that inspired it (click picture for link):

Super Mario Brothers Coin Bank (with random keychain) (http://www.toywiz.com/mascotcoinbanksupermario.html)

For five dollars, you get a small coin bank shaped like the question blocks in the game. The clincher is the fact that you also get a RANDOM KEYCHAIN, with...Running Mario, Jumping Mario, Swimming Luigi, Blooper, Goomba, Koopa, 1-Up Mushroom, Regular Mushroom, or a bunch of other cool stuff.

I found it while looking for a coin bank, ironically. A few sites sell it even cheaper (found it for four bucks at http://www.dirtymicrobe.com/, but they're out of stock)

One thing, though...if you're going to buy one, try to find someone else to buy one, too. The buy limit for the site is five bucks, and this is 4.99 .

Your turn!

Completely overpriced, but ridiculously fun.

They're laser tag tanks that give your opponent an electric shock when you score a point. You can find them on various auction and electronics sites.

Those must be ultra fun until you get shocked so badly you drop the remote control and break it :rolleyes

thats why the electric shock is delivered via a conductive wrist strap, no fair cheating and intentionally letting go at the last second ;(

Tomy's Exploding Piggy Bank

It has an LED for the wick and makes sizzling noises when you try to take money out of it. When the wick is fully burnt; the bank explodes, spilling money outward. Really cool design, though.

It goes on sale in Japan in late October for about $25 U.S.
