Expensive Geek Toys Roundup

Posted by michael on from the put-it-on-my-credit-card dept.

An anonymous reader writes "I was recently asked by a coworker to come up with a list of <implied> expensive </implied> and cool gadgets for a VIP. He was interested in anything that was up-and-coming, rare and the usual odd combination of devices (ie. anything with a camera/WiFi that shouldn't have it). I figured that since it was Friday, it may be a good day to see what the /. crew has up their sleeves."

    Not hideously expensive as things go but the Geekiness factor is astronomical.

    One of the best "Cool Stuff" Blogs out there is Kevin Kelly's Recomendo.


    Not all of it requires a plug, and not all of it meets your "expensive" criteria, but it's full of great, high-quality stuff you didn't know you needed.

  4. How about an X-Files Lantern ($1800-$4000) by joe_n_bloe · · Score: 5, Informative

    Everyone needs a ruggedized 6 million candlepower flashlight with an adjustable 40 degree wide to 2 degree spot beam ... right? I would certainly accept one as a gift. The only catch is it's just a bit pricey.
