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.

It takes a really big fan to make a 10 foot Optimus Prime costume, especially if you need 2 other people to help put it on. The outfit is so big it would probably take an hour just to make it up the driveway. It’s unfortunate that it actually doesn’t transform like these previous costumes featured here before. Even if it doesn’t transform, I think it could still win a couple of Halloween contests next year. Video after the jump.

LEGO Creator Monster Dino

Introducing an advanced new Power Functions System designed to bring Creator sets to life via the integration of two interchangeable motors, the Monster Dino can walk and roar at the touch of a button. Controlled by an independent hand-unit, Monster Dino can move forwards, backwards and emit a bloodcurdling roar with fully mechanized joints making it terrifyingly realistic.The unique LEGO Creator concept challenges builders aged 9+ to combine and create each kit into three different build options. In this case, Monster Dino can be re-assembled to introduce two alternative predators - a tail-whipping crocodile and scuttling deadly spider each powered by remote control.

iCoaster

The Magnetix I-Coaster looks like barrels of fun. What can be more fun than sending stainless steel ball bearings racing around a track while listening to your favorite MP3s. It also has a sound effects mode which allows it to emit certain sounds as the ball passes certain points. You can plug your MP3 player of choice into it if you prefer music to sound effects. Video of iCoaster here.

Flash drives are handy, and I am a little embarrassed to admit that I only own one. I tend to lose stuff that is not chained to my desk. This 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard replica is the first in what is to be a line of flash drives from Gibson. It looks good, and it is a little different to the usual Star Wars or Transformers models that we have been seeing.

It is pretty pricey for a 1GB drive though at $69 from Amazon
