A top speed of 85 knots (also known as really fast), 1900 horsepower and a 2.5 million dollar price tag. This is the XSR48 Super Boat, the fastest diesel power production boat ever. With a carbon-fiber/Kevlar shell, glass enclosed canopy and aluminum consoles, this isn’t just one of the fastest boats out there, it’s also one of the most stylish. Style + Speed  + Water = XSR48. This is the real deal folks, not some sissy speeder. Did I tell you about the shock absorbing leather racing seats? Cause it has em…. Oh yeah, it also has a lounge in the front of the boat. With nothing else out there like it, we think it’s safe to say, this is beyond cool.

These Lego look alikes are created by Art Asylum and released through Diamond Select Toys. Standing  about 2 inches tall, they feature lines from movies, comics, video games and TV shows, including Back to the Future, Marvel Comics, The Spirit and coming out soon are lines from Ghostbusters and Terminator. While these may look like Legos, they in reality put Legos to shame. With a stunning amount of detail for their size and vast amounts of figures already out there, these are by far some of the coolest toys we’ve come across in  quite awhile.

Editors Thought: As a side note, while our writer was telling me about these I tracked down some of the newest Minimates, from the new film, Wolverine: Origins. Released in time for the sure to be hit movie, these have every bit the detail I was expecting from them. Coming in packs of 2, they run about $7.99 a pack, your best bet in tracking these down is most likely going to be Bigbadtoystore.com. -Jef

We’ve all heard the old phrase “The pen is mightier then the sword”. With the Mil-Tac Tactical Defense Pen ($89), that statement holds true in more then one way. With blood grooves and a pointed end for stabbing, this pen was designed with Jason Bourne in mind. Made from aircraft grade aluminum with a refillable pen inside, the Mil-Tac Tactical Defense Pen can easily go from a jab in the neck to completing that big contract — how’s that for signing in blood?

Microsoft says quote, “The revolutionary design of the Arc™ Mouse combines the comfort of a desktop mouse and the portability of a notebook mouse.”, and you may never hear me say this again, but they’re right. It folds up for travel to less the half it’s full size, features standard 2.4 GHz wireless, scroll wheel, battery indicator and has a great feel. Coming in your choice of red or black, it also has some style. 

Microsoft seems set on proving Apple isn’t the only one with both style and cool, and with products like the ARC mouse, they’re doing a good job.

This is the car that proves you don’t have to look far to find a car for under 100 grand that’ll keep up with the big boys. With a  3.8 liter 480 Horsepower V-8 this is without any doubt the ultimate Nissan sports car. With a base price of $79,000, and standard features like a very sophisticated all wheel drive system, this beast of a car has major bang for it’s buck.

A Swiss Army knife with a 1-8GB USB Flash Drive built in? Buy it. Need I say more?
