Open them up to reveal a Bad Robot deck (Bad Robot being Abrams’ production company) with artwork by Abrams himself.

    Also consider the Lockbox edition ($150). Twelve decks in a handcrafted wood box made from 100-year old reclaimed wood and an iron-branded alphanumeric combination lock to protect it. Best part is $1 from each purchase go to 826 national, an American non-profit that promotes creative writing and workshops in schools.

  • Don’t Lose Your (And These) Marbles

    Don’t Lose Your (And These) Marbles

    Marbles, they’re not just for kids. At least not these ones. These cost $1,000 each. And what do you know, people actually buy them. Mike Gong created this series of handmade glass marbles titled “Acid Eaters”. They feature pretty wicked designs, images of eyes popping out and swirling, LSD-type patterns. The marbles are also 5 feet tall. Just kidding. But THAT would be really cool.
