I want this NOW. The Twilight Turtle may just look like an ordinary plush but this cute, cuddly turtle is more than meets the eye. This guy is a home planetarium.

His shell hides a projection system that beams the cosmos right onto your ceiling. Stars from eight major constellations will circle around you in either white, green, or blue lights. Said turtle also comes with a guide to help you identify major star clusters and lesser known points of interest.

On a side note, this should totally be a Pokemon.

It’s chic to be a geek nowadays but damn if the competition ain’t hard. Seems there’s one too many geeks in any given office and as the old adage says - there’s only room for one.

Altogether now. . . AWWWWWW! It’s he/she/it adorable?!?! And look it even comes with a little chain to strap onto your purse or man-bag. Just too precious I tells ya but wait, this baby seal is more than meets the eye. It hides something sinister in its bum and if you have and semblance of decency, you will not hit the jump to find out what it is (go ahead, you know you want to).

It’s kind of weird how much I admire the design sensibilities of Lelo’s self-pleasuring gadgets, not that I’d ever get one for myself but they are definitely sexy. So in an attempt to boost female readership on Nextlust, here’s a gadget for all you ladies. It’s called the Elise and since words fail me, I’ll just let the press release do the talking.

Sculptural simplicity and alluring tactile qualities define her essence. Well in tune with the natural curves of the female body, the stem forms a soft arc for easy access to all those special places. Situated lengthwise are two vibrant pleasure points designated, solely or in harmony, to impart an array of TOE CURLING CLITORAL, G-SPOT OR FULL BODY RUB DOWNS.

Whew! That reads like a romance novel and for only $169 you can personally experience it.

Not everyone can afford a full 5 piece drum set so we have to make do with any and every surface available in the house. The next best thing is the mi Jam Drummer. It’s a unique set of motion activated drumsticks that function with any iPod or if you so choose, any MP3 player. Before I can go on, I must preface with this;

WARNING: NextLust is not responsible for you looking like a dork or for any ridicule from family, friends and coworkers. You use this at the expense of your own social life and accept full responsibility for your own air-drumming actions.

The mi Jam Drummer comes in two modes. The first of which is standalone. Plug them into speakers or use headphones and drum away to your heart’s content with pre-programmed rhythm backgrounds. Snares, tom toms, bass drums, hit-hats and cymbals are all there. The second mode lets you play along with any song and that’s where the iPod comes in. Recored your jam sessions and post them online for all of us to hear (tee-hee). Happy drumming!

The Rubik’s Cube, being one of the most universally recognized puzzles ever made, needs no introduction. Created by Hungarian sculptor Professor Ernő Rubik in 1974, the aptly named Rubik’s Cube burst into the scene. For over 30 years people have cringed in frustration while playing with the rotating block, hoping it will miraculously solve itself. To this day people are still defeated by the same toys while others, specifically that one guy at your office everyone hates, seem to be able to spin them into submission while not even paying attention.

The Rubik’s Cube itself has gone through more than a few changes and variants in the past years. You can see the many incarnations of the cube below, from small 4 x 4 cubes on keychains to larger and far deadlier models such as the Professor’s cube and the ominously named Rubik’s Revenge.

Recently the people behind the infamous cube have decided to revamp the device for the 90’s 2007. Rubik’s has made a teaser site for a new product called the Rubik’s Revolution. The site boasts some of the creepiest disembodied hand work since The Addams Family and offers a few glimpses of the new cube on the block. First looks show promise as the cube has been shined up and sports a nice looking almost holographic exterior. The middle panel on every side of the device also lights up it’s respective color.

Sounds cool right? Well here’s the kicker, the toy is completely immobile. No spinning, no sliding, matching blocks up. Instead, the cube has six light games built into it. Ranging from a version of “Simon” to a game where you simply turn the cube over and over until you find the lit side, then press the button and look again. In all fairness the games do appear to be pretty fun, but having the device branded as a Rubik’s Cube while ditching the normal puzzle feature for a light game gimmick doesn’t seem right somehow. Initial reports put the toy at being a very reasonable twenty dollars though, so at least the price is right.

Depending on your opinion of the original, this could be a nice new toy in the vein on Bop It or Simon, but I’m fairly sure somewhere, Ernő Rubik is rolling over in his blocky, rotating grave. If he’s even dead that is. Either way, be sure to visit the site here, and take a look around. But for God’s sake don’t click the Rubik’s Rap unless you want to re-live the days of Hamster Dance. The Rubik’s Revolution is set to drop at your favorite toy retailer later this year.

While LEGO blocks may be old news in the tech world, they’re still making a big splash for collectors and geeks alike. Recently revealed for pre-order on the LEGO web site is this beauty. Crafted as only the Danish can, this is the third full size rendition of the geek holy grail, the Millennium Falcon. If you look closely you can even see tiny blocky versions of Han, Chewie, Obi Wan and even brother and sister make out team Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia, all of which come packed in.

Other recent LEGO marvels have included the Star Destroyer and Death Star II, but both pale in size and block count to the new king of the LEGO sets. Clocking in at a not so modest five thousand, one hundred and ninety five pieces this behemoth will surely make you the talk of the cubicle. Not only does the set boast a four digit block status but a half a thousand dollar price tag, indicating that these clicks aren’t for kids. In fact I’m sure a child who opened the box for this enormous set would immediately be covered in a flood of tiny plastic pieces, having to swim around in them like Scrooge McDuck to survive.

The plastic beast, once fully constructed is almost three feet long and two feet wide, taking up more surface area than your work PC and standing a commanding 8 inches tall. Other advertised features include extending landing gear and boarding ramp, removable cockpit and the dreaded quad laser. Of course the real icing on the blocky, plastic cake is going to be running around your home or office chasing the cat going “Pew pew pew!” and yelling “That’s not Mr. Mittens, that’s a space station!”

Now before you rush out to the local Toy’s ‘R’ Us and start pushing over three year olds in the LEGO aisle, be advised. The Falcon won’t land in this side of the galaxy until October of this year and is presumably too busy doing the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs. Fear not though as LEGO.com is currently taking pre-orders and the first wave of Millennium Falcons sold come with a certificate of authenticity, in case a giant LEGO spaceship isn’t enough for you. Lastly, for all you doubting tech junkies out there shaking your heads in dismay, log out of your level 44 Tauren Druid for a few hours and dig out your old LEGO sets. You’ll be glad you did.
