Geeks can be a fickle bunch. Sure, we love Star Wars toys, but don’t get near us with those Jar Jar Binks action figures. While one group loves the new Doctor Who, others still pine for the days of yore. To help you wade through the dos and don’ts of geek toy purchasing we compiled a list of 10 toys sure to do a SUDO command in your geeks heart.
NERF N-Strike Maverick
Where would we be without the squishy power of Nerf? We can tell you one thing, we’d probably have more bruises and scars. The Nerf Maverick fires six soft Nerf bullets at unsuspecting friends or mortal enemies.
Trebuchet Wood Kits
In the 13th century the trebuchet was ultimate weapon. Well the trebuchet and the ability to to cook a meal without giving half the army diarrhea. Now you can build your very own small-scale trebuchet for your desk battles.
SRV-1 Blackfilm Mobile Surveillance Robot
A remote control robot that spy on people. How can you not want this? With its tank treads and fancy camera, your only enemy is the unsuspecting walker that steps on it.
Catan
Sure you can get the iPhone app, but for real, nerdtastic game nights you’re going to want to pick The Settlers of Catan board game. Who knew trade and settlements could be so exciting?
The Wizard’s Workshop
It’s not an actual workshop; you’ll need a licensed contractor to help you with that. It’s actually a variety of of puzzles that’ll keep the brainiest geeks busy for hours, or even days.
Tauntaun sleeping bag
ThinkGeek though it would be hilarious to create a fake sleeping bag based on the famous Tauntaun scene in the greatest Star Wars film. Suddenly, the Internet exploded with want, and the ThinkGeek folks scrambled to make the Tauntaun sleep bag a reality. Now, we can sleep out under the stars without fear of the snow monster smacking us about.
Make Magazine
Our favorite magazine that doesn’t have the word Mac in the title. This bible to the DIY crowd will bring the nerd in your life eternal joy for an entire year. A good follow up to the magazine subscription would be a soldering gun.

Regardless if you like the current crop off Doctors or the old school Doctors, the Tardis is eternal. Enjoy the sight and sounds of the Tardis on your desktop as a four port USB hub. The ability to travel through space and time is sadly not a feature.
Cybertool 41
Those Swiss are a pretty smart. While we stumble around with plethora of single tools, they cram all their important stuff into one knife. And while the average geek won’t be battling bears on the job, they will enjoy the Swiss Army Knife Cybertool 41′s variety of tools including a screwdriver with four different bits.
LED Umbrella
In the future, we’ll all have glowing LED umbrellas. While we wait for the world to catch up to Blade Runner, we can be proactive and stop the heaven’s water from landing on our heads an LED umbrella.
