Probably the closest you’ll ever see Boba Fett in carbonite, Sideshow Collectables has released a limited edition bronze statue of everyone’s favorite Mandalorian bounty hunter. It comes in at 21″ tall, atop an environmental display base reminiscent of Jabba’s Palace. The cost? $5000, because if anybody’s worth five grand, it’s the Fett, right?

Nintendo 2DS Tactical Case From Zulu Nylon Gear

Friday, April 3rd, 2015

Yes, this is an April Fool’s Day post, however the cases are completely real, albeit made in limited quantities, so if you want one they’re still available to order!

The Nintendo 2DS is an excellent man-portable, field use time wasting device. The single piece construction minimizes moving parts making it particularly durable and well suited for use in a tactical environment. However, the dual screens are left exposed and susceptible to impact and scratching. The Zulu Nylon Gear 2DS Tactical Case was developed as a dedicated, protective sleeve to cover the dual screens when loose in your ruck or when mounted to MOLLE web gear. The 2DS Tactical Case also features 3 slots for additional game cartridges and a large Velcro loop field on the flap for displaying morale patches. The Case can be mounted to any MOLLE compatible platform with 2 Short MALICE Clips (not included). It is currently available in Black, Coyote Brown, Ranger Green, Multicam, and ATACS AU. As with all other Zulu Nylon Gear products, the 2DS Tactical Case is made in the USA with high quality, milspec materials.
