When ever I have friends over the house they always ask me where I get all my cool gadgets and electronics. So I figured I would share some of my favorites with our visitors.

Zero Blaster (Fog Ring Gun)
The kids have never had a cool toy quite like this (nor adults for that matter). The ZERO Blaster is the coolest ray gun ever. Brightly colored, translucent, thick durable plastic lets you view the mechanics on the inside. Turn it on, press the fog chamber button and watch as the liquid fog suddenly turns into a billow of white fog (quickly dissipating, slightly scented cherry fog of course) inside the "Toroidal Vortex". Now you're ready to blast away like a real space alien. Just pull the trigger. Before you know it you'll be emulating your favorite science fiction hero from another planet. Ray gun even lights up every time you fire off a round of fog rings. ZAP bad guys with 6" rings from an incredible distance of 14 feet away. Then watch as the fog vanishes into thin air leaving behind nothing but the slight hint of cherry. Uses the same type of fog fluid used in most model trains. 6AA batteries not included. Replacement liquid fog can be easily found at most hobby stores.

Fill the Water-Powered Space Rocket with water, pump a few times, and this 6" tall hard plastic Water-Powered Space Rocket will propel high into the air approximately 35 feet.
Space Odyssey Explorer
Create a gravity defying roller coaster that is out of this world. You may recall seeing the Space Odyssey Explorer in recent blockbuster movies.

That's because there are no limitations to what can be created. Imagine all of the games and toys that stifle creative thought in a child's mind. A train track going in circles is fun for a few minutes but after awhile the novelty wears off. Are you concerned about the number of war toys in your child's toy chest? Army men and space pirates are fun but are they expanding your child's mind in a positive way? And how many board games truly allow a child to explore new creative possibilities?

13 inch Galileo Thermometer
I've seen these sporadically through my life and was very confused on what they were? Entrapped funky fishing bobbers? Actually no. Just recently I found out their Thermometers and once you know how they work it really is a way cool bubble gum for the eyeball gizmo!! Crafted in Germany, this 13" tall functional and attractive desk accessory is a thermometer based on the physicist Galileo Galilei?s (1564-1642) discovery that the density of fluid expands and contracts depending on temperature. Hand-blown glass spheres feature medallions imprinted with temperatures ranging from 64øF to 88 øF. The lowest floating sphere in the upper group indicates the current temperature. As the temperature decreases, spheres will rise and as the temperature increases, spheres will fall.
Night Vision Glasses (Clip-On)
Driving at night is much more hazardous than daytime driving, especially when oncoming headlights are very bright. Thanks to the amber lenses of these gold-rimmed clip-on Night Vision glasses, you'll not only cut the glare, but the risk of accidents.

Atomic Projection Alarm Clock In/Out Temperature
Whoever said alarm clocks had to be boringly designed with a singular function? Personally we like clocks with a little (okay, a lot) pizzazz and whole lot of functionality. Our newest Atomic Projection Alarm Clock with in/out temperature and weather forecast has plenty to spare. We started with a sleek silver case befitting such a technological wonder. Then we added the most accurate clock on earth. The U.S. Atomic Clock in Boulder Colorado stays in constant contact ensuring precise time, day and date down to the microsecond. Not only that but you also know the outdoor temperature along with weather forecast. Just place the easily wall mountable remote transmitter outside and the projection clock will immediately receive the signal. The projection clock will also display the temperature in the room it's in. Alarm clock gives you 2 independent settings. Large face LCD with E.L. back light displays large, easy to read time and date numerals along with a time zone map, 3 weather tendency icons, storm-warning indicator and Indoor and Outdoor temperature. But it's the projection mode that really makes this clock special. Adjustable projection device lets you aim anywhere you want to see it. Large red numerals make it easy to see. Because it projects in "red light", it's easy to read in the dark without keeping you awake. Three projection modes allow you to choose between -time only, outdoor temperature only or have it alternate intermittently between the two. The minute you open your eyes and look up at the ceiling you'll not only know the time but the temperature before ever hitting the snooze button. Includes Atomic projection clock (3AA batteries not included) remote temperature/weather transmitter (2AAA batteries not included - low power consumption extends life of batteries 12 months) and AC-DC adapter. Great styling, great price and more great functions than you ever thought possible.

This high tech weather station will give you nearly every detail of the weather up to 24 hours in advance. Should you wear a parka or a tank top today? The wireless weather station/alarm clock will let you know before you get out of bed. Waiting around for the television weatherman to give a report is a thing of the past. Because it gives you a report now with 24 hour advance warning you can plan your day around future weather trends. Even tells you the altitude. Don't let an inaccurate TV weather report spoil your picnic. Barometric weather forecast will tell you whether it's sunny, cloudy or rainy. Is the pressure rising, falling or constant?

Wide-Eyes Eagle Vision Binocular
Precision 10X20mm binoculars so compact they sit comfortably in the palm of your hand or shirt pocket. For 100's of years since binoculars were first invented designers have had to tackle one major challenge. How do you shrink the size of binoculars while retaining the ability to view from great distances? Or even more challenging, how could you do that without sacrificing a clean, bright image? It was a major challenge to be sure. Centuries ago when the innovation of binoculars was first revolutionized by military, big game hunters and early explorers the idea to go small was thought of as the ultimate goal no matter how impossible it seemed at the time. That's because when the lenses are shrunk down, light penetration becomes severely impaired leaving images fuzzy and dark. The Wide-Eyes Eagle Vision Binoculars are the Holy Grail answer to that eternal challenge. One of the world's finest German optical companies has made a major breakthrough in lens design. They shrunk the size while making sure the proper amount of light was still able to pass through. And they accomplished it by having the lenses precision crafted on the world's most technologically advanced surgical manufacturing equipment. It was the only process capable of providing the precise enough dimensions for optimal light refraction. Perfection at long last. But they didn't stop with lenses. The case was machined out of high-grade aluminum alloy for the most durable lightweight grip possible. And each pair has been painstakingly assembled by hand and put through countless quality control tests. This keen attention to detail and incredible precision makes this pair of binoculars one of the most special we have ever had the pleasure of offering. Whether you need pocket size binoculars for sporting events, concerts, site seeing or a day at the beach you'll never be disappointed by the high quality and precision performance of the WIDE-EYES EAGLE VISION BINOCULARS.
RoboNagi Interactive Toy Robot
Your kids (or grandkids) can actually teach our Robonagi robots to sing, dance , talk to each other in Nagi or Engish, or play Simon Says with a live person! Wasn't it one of your favorite childhood fantasies to have your very own robot from another planet? You will be the coolest parent on the block if you can bring that fantasy to life, and with RoboNagi, you have that opportunity. The "intelligence" of this technological marvel of an interactive, robot-like toy is so amazing, even the most jaded adult will be smitten with this little guy, and no child will be able to resist it (and neither will you!). The more you love and care for your Robonagi, the more it will learn. It will provide infinite hours of educational, imaginative fun, because it is preprogrammed to "grow" and "change." The more you teach it, the more it can do! Each Robonagi is unique, with his own characteristics and personality! Each one will develop differently, because they each have their own individual personality, but they can all talk to a person or each other (in English or Nagi), sing and dance with a person or each other, move their arms, and play "Simon Says" and "Infrared Tag." Very importantly, they have "Instant Sleep" and "Instant Standby" modes (you choose their "quiet time"). Because of the many phrases they know, and their need to be "fed" and loved, they are perfect for teaching such things as responsibility and sensitivity to children. They come with a background story to get the all-important wheels of imagination turning. This is the most intellectually stimulating and FUN toy you've ever seen! They even come with their own trading cards! For more information, check out the RoboNagi website at http://www.robonagi.com If you welcome a RoboNagi into your home and a child's world, the only question is who will be happier: you, the child, or the RoboNagi?
