Tidy Toaster
Every home needs a stylish toaster to shine on the bench so to speak, this one comes from Amadana in Japan, where they have taken a range of goods and quite simply refined them to become style objects - the desk phone is also a very worthy mention.
This model approximately 15,750 Yen
Worth a visit to the site even if it is just to look at the dodgy cartoons at the bottom of the page

Desert Eagle
This is just the weapon you have been looking for, the only problem is being so realistic you might have to watch out for someone who thinks you are a threat and accidently shoots you with real bullets, rather than the soft air-pressure ones that this shoots.
This model costs $149 USD but there are many other models replica's of all the weapons your really love

Polar Pursuit
The Polar Heart Rate Monitor (HRM if you are in the lingo) is pretty tightly aligned with having a seriously buffed bod and a penchant for early mornings and a good sweat.
This model is not really different except it is not designed as a watch rather it is designed as a bike super computer.
The guy in the shop said to me - call it what you like but this is a really great bike computer, with heaps of features, like your average heart rate, max rate , top speed etc and you can load the whole thing on to your pc or up on to the internet where you can build a full training program.
the best comment however was "..as a watch its bloody ugly, but as a bike computer - its sexy technology!"
approx $335 AUD
