Pac Man is turning 30 next year and that means we can expect to see all manner of merchandise ready to mark the event. These Pac Man Zippo lighters, which come by way of Banpresto, pay a fitting, anatomically-appropriate tribute. [Tiny Cartridge via Technabob, CrunchGear]

Tab Dock: Zippo to Mint Dispenser Conversion
The Tab Dock is a great little conversion kit that turns a standard Zippo lighter into a mint dispenser. A great gift for a reformed smoker who doesn’t want to get rid of all of their cool paraphernalia. The price might make you think twice, but what price can you put on a healthy set of lungs?
Price: $70 (as long as the Yen stays high. [Tab Dock via BBG, Oh Gizmo]

Zippo Transformers, Shiny Pyrotechnical Technology
As a reformed smoker, I don’t have much use for a lighter, but that does not mean that I cannot appreciate a fine Zippo. Available in Japan are these numbered, limited edition Transformers Zippo lighters. They come in two colors (black and silver) and are limited to a run of three hundred on each. Unfortunately I cannot get any more details on this. The last run of limited edition Transformers Zippos was through Toys R’ Us Japan of all places. We hope to hear more about this soon.

Zippo Enters the 21st Century
I am not much of a smoker, though I do enjoy a fine cigar and have enjoyed pipe tobacco in the past. Zippo lighters were always something of a puzzle to me; they are beautiful to look at; yet horribly inefficient. The lighter fluid that you load Zippo lighters with stinks. Worse than that, it evaporates; try using a Zippo that has been sitting in a desk drawer for a few months, you won’t have much joy.
The Zippo Blu range is a full range of blue flame lighters. They have remained quite true to form by incorporating the flint system and keeping the shape rather Zippoesque. Some purists might take offense to butane in a Zippo, but I think it is high time.
Prices are in the range of $33 to $59 from Amazon.
