These items are NOT made by Think Geek, they're made by a UK company called China WOW! and imported into the US via Underground Toys, who import the Character Options toys.I guess you simply failed to read the back of the packaging to see who made the item. So much for FACT checking there.

My 4 year old daughter keeps mine next to her bed to fight off bad dreams. It has worked wonderfully.
In 1920, Ehrhardt Koch founded his own hat company, caps new era E. Koch Cap Co. His company started with 14 employees and was located on the third floor of 1830 Geneese Street on the corner of Bailey in Buffalohard hats , New York. In 1922, the company name was changed to New Era Cap Company. In 1932, the company designed its first version of a baseball cap. In 1934 the company started producing its first professional baseball team's caps: The Cleveland Indians home and road caps. This was in the years before exclusive licensing, so New Era was competing with other cap-producing companies at the time. Their main competitors were Wilson,snapback fitted hats Spalding, Rawlings, McAuliffe (later KM Pro, then Roman Pro), snapback caps and a number of other companies. New Era also manufactured caps for some of those companies under private labeling. By the 1940s, New Era was producing caps for many professional baseball teams.cheap hats In the late 40s New Era unveiled their adjustable cap. However the company still mainly manufactured fitted hats.
yeah I've been meaning to buy it, but I was weary of buying like 3 different sonic screwdrivers [replica, pen, actual screwdriver]But still it's neat, even if I can't make up my mind.
I bought mine in England at the Doctor Who experience. Love it and makes my friends so jealous! lol
I bought this last Christmas and was sort of disappointed by it. Whatever makes the sonic-y noise broke after the button had been pressed like twice. It now makes a sound like a frog farting. The one that extends/opens looks much cooler.
I'm right there with you. I got it for a birthday present and it is awesome except it doesn't extend/open up around the light area AND mine makes a weird not-at-all-like-the-real-screwdriver noise. BUT i have put together two things from IKEA with it...and it makes me proud to point out things in my apartment to friends and say, "Yeah that, i put that together with a sonic screwdriver!"
I feel for you.
Sounds like (without seeing it, of course) you had a bad capacitor (or capacitent type of part) that went out. That sucks. They look real cool but I always was hesitant to buy a tool for $30 dollars that I was afraid to use. Either give me a replica sonic screwdriver I can put on a shelf or a real screwdriver so I can get my work done. Worst part for you is that you could probably fix it if you had a sonic screwdriver.
So, no one's going to call attention the the fact that it's sticking out of the wrong end?
Yeah, it's been out for a while. I've had mine since it came out.Although I'm no longer surprised if not many people know about it. Simply because when I was at the advance screening of Series 6 some people were like "What the hell is that?"Best part is I do some IT work and when I need to take something apart I pull that out and people look on in awe. One guy was a Who-vian and he thought it was brilliant.
Yeah, a lot of people are in the dark of just what's being offered as merchandise. People inform me roughly twice a month for the past few years of the TARDIS USB hub, for example.
Actually, this has been around for about a year. I bought it for my boyfriend for Christmas last year.But yes, it is exactly as awesome as you would think.
I completely agree. We got ours last year, and even our non-nerd friends are appropriately impressed with the fact that it's really a screwdriver. Awesome.
I still want a sonic screwdriver pen that lights up and makes sounds I would use that EVERY day.
Thinkgeek makes a sonic screwdriver pen, but it doesn't light up and make sounds because, it's like, a pen
I never realized before that parts of the Sonic screwdriver come from the woodind instrument called a recorder.
