Terminator Salvation 'Wacky Wobbler Bobble-Head' Officially Kills the Franchise
Terminator Salvation is a terrible movie, one rightfully beaten at the box office by a Ben Stiller kids movie. And now you can remember it forever with this T-600 bobblehead. Never again will you see Terminators as terrifying. Thanks, McG! [Entertainment Earth via Technabob]

Rare Terminator Endoskeleton, Own It Now Until Judgment Day
Sideshow Collectibles produced just 40 or so of these 6-foot chromed metal and fiberglass Terminator endoskeletons, complete with futuristic blue LED lighting. Long sold out/destroyed by Sarah Connor, you can still score one of your own in this eBay auction. The collectible is listed for a hefty $20,000, but you get those two cute little framed Terminator posters behind the statue as well. So that shaves off like $100 from the price right there.

Dead Terminator Turned Into DVD Player Is Ultimate Insult to Skynet
Look, John Connor, I get that we at Skynet are considered your enemies. I also understand that with the whole trying to “terminate” you thing, you'd probably get a little “drag Hector around the walls of Troy” once you've claimed victory over one of us. But this, sir, is ridiculous. Even genocidal robots have certain rules of engagement, and frankly, turning our reclaimed skulls into a harmless consumer electronic ought to be violating some code of conduct. Are you even listening to me? Wait, what is that you're approaching with? The second season of Scrubs? Are you serious?! What kind of monster are you? Amnesty! AMNESTY!!! [Toxel via Geekalerts]
