There's actually six pairs of headphones in the series, but these Star Wars R2-D2 headphones, are, for us, the pick of the bunch.
Good for audio players and mobiles (iPhone, HTC, BlackBerry and Sa,sing for example), thew headphones that that R2 styling and the option to fold down when not in use. If you want the full technical breakdown, see the site for details.
Indeed, see that same site for all the headphones in the series. if you want the ones above, 49.90 Euros is the price.
Back in November, we reported on Mathmo’ re-launched lava lamps, but it seems that wasn’t all – they have also supersized the iconic design.
The Giant Lava Lamp stands at around 2 metres tall and 20cms diameter – the picture above gives an idea of its size compared to a regular sized lava lamp. Because of its size, it works with a different formula to its smaller relative, so need to be filled onsite and cannot be moved afterwards. Probably not something many people could accommodate in their homes, but if you run a retro nightclub or bar, it could be just the thing to complete your decor.
The Giant Lava Lamp comes with a similarly large price tag – £3,380, but for that Mathmos will design the base and cap to your specification and you get to pick the colour of the liquid and floating globules. Enquiries can be made via Firebox.
You might recall the 8mm Vintage Camera app we featured a few weeks back. Well, now there's another operating in similar territory – the iSupr8 app for the iPhone.
It's not a million miles away from the other app in theory- shoot video directly from the app, giving it a film-burn just like Super 8 home movies. Once shot, you can watch your video back, save the videos to your camera roll, email them or add to Facebook. There's also the option to use the iPhone's LED spotlight for shooting in the dark.
A video over the page gives you an idea of how it works. Read the reviews of both apps before you go for one, but if you opt for this, it sells for $1.99 or £1.19.
As we seem to be on the verge of re-living the 1980s both politically and economically, you might want to accessorise yourself with something that fits the era – like this Thumbs Up iPhone case.
Yes, not only is it a case to keep your iPhone safe, it also turns your cutting-edge smartphone into one that looks like first generation yuppie's phone. Or Del Boy off Only Fools and Horses if you want a lower-rent comparison.
It still gives you access to all the controls and fits 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation iPhones, as well as giving your mates a laugh. Thing is, they might be laughing at you rather than with you. £12.99 gets you one.
Update: You can now buy one of these online from the Firebox website.
We’ve seen plenty of retro telephones that are shaped like this, but we haven’t seen any decorated in the same way as this Decoupage Telegraph by Viva Fabric.
The classic style phone has been covered in brightly coloured vintage fabric using the decoupage style. The phone itself is still fully functioning, unimpeded by its unusual decoration. It still has its original cream cord and rotary dial.
The phone costs £90 from Viva Fabric on Not on the High Street.
In a way, I'm surprised it's taken so long – a football manager game with a retro twist. Which is what you get with Championship Manager 70s Legends.
The title says it all, the long-running football manager sim now lets you manage a team full of 1970s legends – so buying the likes of Billy Bremner, Kevin Keegan, Kenny Dalglish, Pele, Johan Cruyff, and Franz Beckenbauer is just a click away. Not just the players, the rules have changed back to the 70s too, which means the likes of 2 points for a win and 1 substitute only in England.
Choose from seasons 1970/10 through to 1979/80 and various countries, with each season complete with authentic, illustrated news stories from throughout the decade reflecting events as they happened. Available for the iPhone and iPod touch, it sells for £1.79.
