The ThinkGeek 2013 Con Tour Exclusives are:
-- Gold Pickaxe and Sword from Minecraft - A follow up to the Minecraft
Foam Sword and Foam Pickaxe, two of ThinkGeek's most popular items, the
Gold version has shiny EVA foam and all the con bling you'll need.
Retail will be $25 for each.
-- Starfield Portal 2 Turret with Sound - Oh, there you are. This special
edition variant on ThinkGeek's Portal 2 Turret LED Flashlight is bound
to be a sought-after collector's item. This can be yours for $10.
These three Con Tour Exclusives will only be available for purchase when ThinkGeek is officially vending at a con! However, for those unable to attend, they will be available on ThinkGeek.com during the duration of the show as well, and during PAX East, visitors to the site will be offered free shipping on orders over $25. It's just like being at a con--except the food is better and there isn't an uncomfortable guy dressed like Pikachu.
"We wanted to make something special for our fans and the fans of Portal and Minecraft," says Ty "King of Cosplay" Liotta, Chief Mucky-Muck of GeekLabs. "These limited edition exclusives will give people something fun to collect and show off."
