It may be $US375 and not out until the first quarter of 2010, but this replica of the bike driven by Kaneda in Akira is ridiculously awesome. It’s a one-sixth scale, comes with plenty of sound effects, LED illumination and a workable suspension. All you need is a bit of adventuring spirit. [BigBadToyStore via Nerd Approved]

I have to admit that this $US1 million 700hp Batmobile, built over a 1973 Lincoln Continental chassis, looks amazing. Even without seeing its interior, which apparently is loaded with gadgets, from rear-view cameras to a plasma TV.

However, if I had $US1M I would rather buy other things, like a house, 200,000 Shake Shack burgers or a green dress. Or, if I was living in Sweden—like the crazy Swede who made it—I would buy a kick arse sailboat to take my friends around, and fish out mackerels. [Bilfeber via Geeky Gadgets via Dvice]

Packing a weight of 6.8kg and a full-sized length of over one metre, the Lancer has been crafted out of polystone before getting a hand-painted finish. And if you’d like to actually own this work of art, you can preorder the Lancer now for $US950.

It’ll ship in February, or just in time to destroy any intimate relationships you may have before Valentine’s Day. [Triforce via Kotaku AU]

Rejoice, for the super rich have found a way to recreate the terrible Titanic tragedy in their over-sized luxury bath tubs.

Or, if you’re interested, this remote control RMS Titanic is a mere $US2,500 away.

What do you get for that lofty sum? Well, aside from the inevitable date with an ice cube you’re already planning in your heads right now, you’ll get a six-foot 1:150 scale model that’s been hand crafted from 300 pieces over the course of 400 man hours.

Some of those 300 pieces sound pretty impressive too, like the real mahogany and cedar used in the superstructure and detailing. The three propellers guide this Titanic lite around at 5mph for up to three hours. [Hammacher Schlemmer via OhGizmo]

We told you about this last fall, but now the details are official and the release is imminent. Yes, now you can sit in your living room on Kirk’s chair, boldly watching TV and eating chips.

Some bad news: initially set to be released for $US1,000, the actual price now looks to be a much-worse $US2,200. But hey, it makes Kirk sounds! In any case, this is a near-exact replica of Kirk’s captain chair from the original series, so if you’re that into it, here you go. It ships next month. [Entertainment Earth via Technabob]

Available at Amazon on June 4, this $US50 piece of retro goodness is the tricorder that started it all, and is the perfect gift if you’re the kind of Star Trek fan who thinks Abrams is the devil.

As you fume silently at the screen when Chris Pine tears down years of your life by reinventing Capt. James T. Kirk, press a button or two on the comforting facade of this piece of television history. Then coo softly as the tricorder beeps and boops with sound samples from the original series. Sigh heavily as your fingers catch on its sharp sides. It’s pain, yes, but it’s a good pain!

When Spock and Uhura lock lips in a display of love that’s an affront to the WAY THINGS OUGHT TO BE, simply remove the detachable scanner accessory and go on an extended away mission to the local 7-11. You’ll feel better immediately.

And remember, this is a “role play” replica, meaning it’s convention and cosplay approved!

But seriously folks. As Leonard Nemoy himself said of haters on SNL last night (alongside Pine and Zachary Quinto), “to not like [Star Trek] would make them dickheads.” Fascinating.

When hooked up via USB, this speakerphone can make calls over Skype for anyone running XP, Vista, Tiger or Leopard. It also features its own volume control and mute function as well as velcro backing for mounting in an easy-to-reach area. And, of course, it comes with the prerequisite sound bytes that have become a staple of all Trek communicator replicas. A price has not been announced, but it is expected to arrive sometime in April.
