LIGHT SABERS! These things look really cool.
My favorite line of the add is

They do look really cool...

For me to poop on!

Sorry, this just reminded me of that Triumph the Insult Comic Dog's skit about Star Wars fans. Click the link to watch it. It's pretty funny.

Oh yeah, this is the geekiest thing I ever bought, by far....and I have bought some pretty geeky things.

A little minature catapult. Check
One of those plasma balls. Check
A ton of X10 stuff. Check
Super strong ceramic magnets. Check
A large quantity of super putty. Check
A tech support 8-ball. Check

But none hold a candle to this. I was thinking about buying a replica of The One Ring, which might have come close, but I didn't, so this wins.

Other geeky purchases that I would personally recommend:

Green laser pointer (red does not count)
Espresso machine for the office (if you are into caffeine)
Pessimist's mug from despair.com
Movie prop galleons/sickles/knuts (for the Harry Potter fan)
Lava Grande lava lamp
A Slinky
