Segatoys puts the stars on your ceiling

If the Swarovski Milky Way is out of your price range and you're too lazy to go outside with a green laser pointer to highlight the real stars (or have some romantic notions that involve stars but not indecency arrests), the Segatoys Home Planetarium may be your salvation. Literally a portable, battery-powered planetarium, this box of ten thousand stars projects conveniently on any adequately sized ceiling or wall (even in your bathroom! they rather curiously point out at toys.brando.com.hk where it's available for $229 USD - suppose it trumps taking the newspaper in there).

post from Shiny Shiny on 02 June 2006 04:15:00 PM. © Shiny Shiny

So just having a regular ultra thin Razr V3i in three colours (and, as you may recall, interfacing nicely with iTunes) isn't sexy enough for you? Well, if you've got ?1899 lying around, you can pick up the very limited Gold Moto from, say HandCellPhone.com, with a very tasteful (if a gold-encrusted phone can be said to be so much tasteful, as a crushing example of your superior cash flow) Dolce & Gabbana logo on the front. 1000, individually numbered.
