I remember when ThinkGeek was in its hey day and often chortled on seeing some of the items on offer. It looks like there are some major changes under way. Their web site is moving under the web site of parent company GameStop. Physical store locations for ThinkGeek will remain open. Selected items will remain available in GameStop stores. Orders from ThinkGeek on or after June 13th, 2019 are final sales -- no returns.

As part of this transformation, there is currently a 50% off everything sale at https://www.thinkgeek.com/

I must confess I had not visited their site in years. What has your experience with them been like?

    I have had the same question a few times, but lately i'm coming around to another answer: make your own. there are a bunch of places online like cafe press where you can upload your own designs and they send you the finished article a few days later. that covers hats, t-shirts, mugs, etc. or you can watch a couple howto videos and make your own from scratch.

    For more specialty items out of plastic or metal, casting them yourself or 3D printing them works. you don't have to cut a check to Hollywood, if it references a popular movie or show, so bonus. A couple years ago i made a really cool zombie mask with liquid latex and paper towels after watching some australian girl's how-to on YT.
