Two totally awesome Dr Who items on ThinkGeek

Cafe Society
1

I’m in geek heaven.

First, a Sonic Screwdriver

Second, a TARDIS 4 port USB hub

I know what I’m putting on my Christmas list…if I can wait that long.

2

Hmmm, can you actually fasten screws with that thing?

3

I doubt it, but then that’s not the point.

4

It doesn’t do wood.

And here’s the TARDIS USB hub ably demonstrated by an ex-Doper.

5

Moved MPSIMS --> Cafe Society.

6

My brother has the USB hub. It’s pretty neato. Lights and sounds and everything.

7

If you plug and unplug items a lot I could see how it could be annoying, but if you just plug something in every now and again it seems kind of cool.

8

I have one. You can turn the sound off, but the light flashes no matter what. It’s cool.

9

OK, now I know that I’m getting one. Thanks.

10

Now the screwdriver is out of stock, thanks

11

I also own the USB hub and I love it. I don’t use it a lot so it hasn’t gotten annoying.

12

I sonic screwdriver you can actually drive screws with!

Too bad it’s just hypothetical at this point.

13

:frowning:

I’m definitely getting that one when it comes out. Damn I’m geeky.

14

You can also get a real Tardis, if you can come up with enough money. Well, not a real real Tardis, but a real fake one.

They will also be auctioning off what may be the oldest surviving Dalek, although sadly it does not seem to be in good condition.

15

Years ago I had a super geeky fantasy. Own a house with a basement and in the basement would be a TARDIS control panel like the fifth Doctor had here.

But it wouldn’t be just for decoration. One side of the control panel would have switches to control all the lights in the house. Another could control the TV and stereo equipment. And the others would control other electronic or mechanical devices in the house. And the monitor of course would be hooked up to surveillance cameras.

For the sake of closure (because I know people were losing sleep over it) here are the final bids:

2005 Tardis shell: £10,000
1970s console created for Doctor Who exhibition: £900
1967 Cyberman helmet (Moonbase, Tomb of the Cybermen) £7,800
