ThinkGeek is throwing its annual holidays sale, with up to 90 percent off selected items and free international shipping (conditions apply, natch). Here’s a look at some of the gamer goodies that caught our eye.
In addition to its regular holiday sale, ThinkGeek is also offering an additional 25 per cent off everything store-wide and free shipping to Australia. The catch is that you have to spend $200 or over, although provided you have the cash, that shouldn’t be too hard.
Now, an argument could be made that a lot of this stuff is junk — but the same thing cold be said of nearly any collectible. Fans will be fans.
Remember, you can bag an additional 25 per cent off the below items if your total exceeds 200 bucks.

Minecraft Light-Up Redstone Ore: $17.99 (10% off)
“We have to admit that once we built our dream house in Minecraft our regular world house paled in comparison. Alas, a building of that magnificence in our neck of the woods would cost far more than the amount of bananas we make as ThinkGeek monkeys. We must continue to build our dreams in pixels…

It’s guaranteed to keep the boogie oogie pigmen from coming out of your closet to murder you in your sleep. Tap once for low light, a second time for medium, and a third time for bright. (Five is right out.) ((Actually, tapping it five times will bring you back to low.)) Of course, you could get a truckload of these and start building your own Minecraft-inspired bedroom…”

you know it’s sad when i scroll down the list going;
Got it,
Got it,
Got it,
WANT,
Got it,
😛
Sad, or awesome?
i never thought of it like that… THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!
Now I’m curious which one you want!
Bahahaha well the only thing i really miss out of here is the Arcade Light switch… would look epic in my gaming room, only problem is that i’m renting so i’m not about to replace light switches 😛
It just clips over the top and presses the switch for you
You could ask the real estate if you’re allowed to change the switch and return it to normal upon leaving.
I’ve changed a few switches in mine, All the door handles, and renovated the shower (It was old and gross) with permission.
But some landlords will just downright refuse everything you ask.
I already spent all my money on candy and pokemon…………I’m going to have to ask my wife for a bigger allowance….
“Woman!!!!1 Me, the man, demands more money to buy toys with!!!”
That should work, be back in five.
This guy ^^… you need to run some sort of course on how to be the perfect partner/husband… I’LL BE YOUR FIRST STUDENT
And I the second.
I have a couch you can crash on…
Too bad its the postage costs that stops me buying and not the actual item price
But they have another special. If you spend over $200 there is free international shipping.
I just got all my presents for siblings/family members using the site
I don’t want to buy *that* much junk!
You don’t have to buy a lot… how about a nice replica Stark Shield 😛
Its free express shipping on orders over $200 which are then discounted 25%
Classic video game controller ornament set: $1.99
Shipping: $9.64
It’s almost a parody.
It’s a pity that none of this stuff would actually arrive in Australia before Christmas though. The last time I ordered from Think Geek it took 6 weeks to arrive and it was only a couple of t-shirts :/
I ordered some stuff 2 weeks ago with DHL express (there was a 2 dollar difference between regular and express at the time) and received it in 4 days…. though i still doubt it would be here in time now, with christmas rush and all…
There’s always their affiliate site http://www.popcultcha.com.au/
which stocks some of their stuff…
They have an outlet in Geelong if you live in the Melbourne area as well that’s well worth checking out
I use http://www.coolthings.com.au/ they are priced nicely and have most of the same things, they also give you a cool mint and a note telling you how cool you are…..which is nice.
… i’ve never gotten a note stating how cool i am… that must mean i’m not cool… AND MY BREATH STINK BECAUSE I DON’T HAVE A MINT
