It doesn't get much more niche than the AT-AT Lawn Ornament. ThinkGeek's latest creation lets you recreate one of the most memorable scenes from The Battle of Hoth right in your front yard. For those who haven't seen Star Wars, all you need to know is that a spaceship trips a giant robot with a cable and it is awesome.
The AT-AT Lawn Ornament isn't as colorful or creepy as typical lawn ornaments (looking at you, lawn gnomes), but what it lacks in flair it more than makes up for in geekiness. It is a ThinkGeek original and is officially licensed, so you won't have to sweat the details. The AT-AT Lawn Ornament isn't available just yet; it comes out in late November and will be sold for $39.99.
