Charge your legion of mobile devices the Tony Brando Stark way with the Iron Man 3 Maghub Charging Station. Its cables work like Apple’s MagSafe cables. If you pick up your device while it’s connected to the charging station, the cable will safely snap off from the hub’s magnetic connectors. Either that or you’ll send the whole thing flying.
Brando is selling the Iron Man 3 Maghub Charging Station for $59 (USD). It’s available with a US, UK, Europe or Australia type plug.
The typical light bulb is really boring. You put it in the socket and it glows to provide you light. There are all sorts of lamps on the market, but if you want something that it as much a conversation piece as a source of illumination, the Flyte levitating light bulb is what you need.
Flyte has a base made from sustainable wood like oak, ash, or walnut. The base hides an electromagnet to make the bulb float, as well as a wireless power transmitter. It was designed in Sweden and uses energy efficient LEDs that are rated for 50,000 hours. That means you can leave it on for 12 hours a day for eleven years.
Flyte is raising funds for production on Kickstarter and a pledge of $249(USD) or more will get you one shipping in October. The project was seeking $80,000 and has raised nearly $120,000 so far.

Similar to Good Smile Company’s Nendoroid line, Beast Kingdom’s Egg Attack figures are highly detailed chibi-style models. While some of them are propped up on their pedestal by a plastic rod, the new Iron Man Mk. II Egg Attack model floats over its base thanks to electromagnets.
The model is made of porcelain-like material and has LEDs on its eyes, chest, hands and feet. Like Tony Stark’s prototype suit, the model is finished with a shiny metallic coating.
The pictures don’t do a great job of showing just how shiny, detailed and cute this little fella is. Good thing Beast Kingdom released this demo video. It’s in Chinese but it has English captions:
Tell Jarvis to head to Hobby Link Japan, where you can pre-order the toy for about $134 (USD).

Some drivers are horrible parkers. Some are careless, there are others go out of their way to be rude, while some just can’t help it. Regardless of which kind of bad parker they are, they’re still bad parkers all the same. And for that, their cars deserve to be magneted. Okay, so I just made that word up.
Sticking these Do Your Park magnets onto cars might not seem to do much, at least, in the physical sense, but the insults printed on them will send a message that the recipient isn’t likely to forget. Each pack contains ten magnets with an assortment of insults, ranging from subtle to in-your-face cracks about their inability to park courteously.
The Do Your Park magnets are available online for $12(USD). That’s way cheaper than the bill you’ll pay for keying their car.
